Hey everyone,

I just had a quick question, when you guys have a stomach ache do you guys drink flat ginger ale/ flat, diet ginger ale? I know, at least for me, ginger ale was my go to (before surgery) when I was feeling nauseous or had an upset stomach. Does it just depend on the person at this point? What other remedies do you guys use now for upset stomach or nausea?

Oh and I am a little over a month out from surgery (October 24th was my surgery date).

That would make me bloated. Even though it's flat. ( 4 months post. ) What is causing the tummy ache

That’s the thing, we don’t know what’s causing my stomach ache or my constant need to gag and vomit. So I am in the emergency room trying to figure that out.

Hi, I am 8 months post op, Dr recommended avoiding soda. But I just had 4 oz of ginger ale, it felt weird and felt bloated, I guess avoid as much as possible and stick to the plan...

If you want ginger buy real ginger or ginger pills. Truth is gingerale has so little ginger in it that it's more placebo effect from an old wives tale than anything

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
