I would say so not very nice just let your stomach settle and have fluid , yoghurt and stuff like that if I have eggs I either poach , boil or scramble them if your going to scramble them try cottage cheese instead of milk its lovely I had laxatives which did this to me hope you feel better soon

September Surgery Buddies!!
Hi I'm 4 weeks to being 12 months from my OP I'm 112 lbs down and feeling pretty good could do with losing a little more but my dietitian said if I stayed at that he would be made up with me because I already had the sleeve before I wouldn't lose as much as just having one OP the surgeon told me I would only lose about 3 to 31/2 stone so I think I've done really well
