I'm wondering if anyone else 6 months or more post-op (sleeve) have had to undergo an endoscopy to see why their sleeve is so restrictive (or narrow). Now at over 7 months, I try to eat the foods I should be eating (chicken, fruits and veggies, whole grains), but still can't tolerate more than 3-4 bites - much less than 1/4 cup of food or 6 oz. of protein! I am now afraid to even try certain foods (Pasta, rice, bread as I have felt so ill after trying a small bite). I have an endoscopy schedled for Fri. 5/31. If there is a build-up of excess scar tissue causing the extreme narrowness of the sleeve, does anyone know how this gets repaired. As far as my weight loss, it has certainly stalled, I gained 2.5 pounds from April to May!! I realized since I couldn't eat enough Protein or "real food", I was reverting to my old pre-surgery ways of eating processed foods (some things, like graham crackers and cheese doodles go down my sleeve just fine, unfortunately!). So I'm back on at least one shake for Breakfast or lunch and feel a lot better already! Thanks!

It's ok Laura. Most strictures are easy to fix (although it is still uncomfortable) but for some reason mine isn't! It's very frustrating. Thank you for your good thoughts and words of encouragement! I know I'll get better eventually and hope to be in the same place as everyone else-loving my sleeve!
