What is considered an actual stall?
It will get better with the water and reflux issues. You are still early out and your stomach has to heal. I still take Priolosec twice a day, and it is very controlled. I don't like sweet/fruity stuff, so I don't do Crystal Light or anything like that. Liptons also has little packets like Crystal Light that you can mix with a water bottle, so that might be good for Summer. Just be careful because most of those have caffeine. I drank one a few months ago (after not having caffeine for 6 months or more) after dinner, and I could not fall asleep that night lol. Now I drink regular coffee again, and I doubt it would affect me the same way.
