Gingerale Substitutes? Help!



Recommended Posts

Karma is exacting her revenge on me for laughing at my nephew and his food poisoning last night. I've been on the toilet every 30mins with a bowl in my lap. It's bad. What can I drink instead of gingerale? I'm dyin here!

I may get my head chomped for this, but maybe diet ginger ale that you let go flat? No calories and no bubbles. I have a friend that had the bypass and that is how she gets through an upset tummy.

Best of luck to you.

Stash Tea Company makes a wonderful Lemon-Ginger herbal tea that I buy at the grocery store. Maybe try that?

Just boil the fresh ginger and make a great tasting tea. Use about 2 inches of ginger, smash with hammer or hard tool, I always insert it in a plastic bag or sack before smashing it. I then put it in my teapot or saucepan and boil for 5-10 min. I then add a little milk and or 1/2 teaspoon of sugar for flavor.

I drank a lemon-ginger tea as well as gingerale- You can get the little cans and open 1 up- about an hour or 2 later when it's flat drink it- the carbonation will be minimal if at all.

actually not a bad idea.

some baking soda in warm Water or even some ginger root boiled in green tea. Even candied ginger boiled in Water. A little sugar especially when you're ill isn't going to hurt you.

Peppermint tea is great for upset stomachs.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
