Oh my god, 3 weeks? 😭 I'm going to lower my salt intake and see if there are any changes

Hey guys, I know a lot of people here went through the stall but I read many people said they at least lost inches during that time. I'm on my 10th day of stalling and both the scale or the measuring tape hasn't moved since then. Besides that I drink around 80oz of water a day but I pee super little and in the morning wake up very bloated. Is all of these things normal?

Thank you! I'm trying but it's hard not to be bothered especially when I'm 5 weeks post op and not losing inches too. My urine is definitely not dark. I don't have salty drinks but my foods are definitely on the saltier side

Hi everyone, I'm 5 days post op and I have been having a cough for the past 4 days that almost can be described as whooping cough. Are my lungs trying to clear themselves? I have ocassional phlegms and post nasal drips. I'm really worried that it's reflux. I'm on a liquid and puree diet and on 40 mg reflux meds as well.

Hi guys, It's me again. I'm 6 days post op and I'm realizing more and more that my symptoms are reflux. I take 40 mg of pantoprazol every morning since the day after the surgery yet I cough like crazy, have food stuck in my throat feeling and almost feel the acid bubbles circulating. Not to mention the crazy hunger feeling I get even right after eating. Are these symptoms normal the first weeks of sleeve? Or is it really possible to get reflux this early stage while on a high dose of ppi? I'm not looking forward to eating real food!

The Dutch healthcare system is very straightforward when it comes to medication. I'm pretty sure and unfortunately they will dismiss my concerns the first 6 weeks if I'm able to keep food and water down and tell me to wait and let the stomach heal

Yes, I got sleeve. Bypass was not much of an option for me and my reflux before surgery was pretty manageable so I thought it was worth the risk. My sister works at a bariatric clinic, she told me the first month acid reflux was normal but I'm very hesitant when there are a lot of people who don't experience it at all. I hope mine goes away like yours too!

Thank you so much for your reply! My appointment is 1 month later, so until that I think I just have to follow my symptoms and keep an eye on it but definitely will ask about the dosing

I would get reflux sometimes after a heavy meal or if I ate too close to bed. I think I don't have hiatal hernia or else my surgeon would have mentioned it after the surgery

Thank you so much. I use a pillow when I cough. Like you said, since it hadn't gone away after 5 days, it started to make me think if it was reflux since I have weird hunger pangs and for the first time last night in bed, I had a feeling something was stuck in my throat. It would be really upsetting to have symptoms 5 days post op already while being on liquid and purees. It makes me scared of the real food period

Thank you so much! Oh, definitely not covid. Don't have any other symptoms at all besides this annoying cough. I don't have the burn in chest and throat but last night I did have the "something stuck in my throat" feeling. I'm on 40mg ppi's too!

Don't have the barking seal sound for sure but I do cough reaaaally bad!
