No more bumps in the road (I hope).
I had my endo done yesterday and what a difference already! My surgeon found mild narrowing at the opening to my sleeve and stretched it a bit. Today I have eaten solid food twice, 2 oz. of solid protein each time, and it has gone very well. I didn't feel stuck at all. This seems great! A few days ago I could never have eaten like that. At least part of the meal would have had to come back up. I am thrilled and looking forward to getting much more protein in the form of food not shakes.
Thanks for all the support.

That is wonderful news! I bet you feel a lot better! I am glad your surgeon told you it was not normal and got you in for an endoscopy! Now your sleeve should be functioning the way it is intended and at 6 months out you should definitely be able to eat 2 ounces of solid protein, and it sounds like you finally can! Maybe everything will be smooth sailing for you now.
