@@mishelcrz88 mushy to me is a little bit difficult because I couldn't have chicken, steak, really any meat but ground turkey, crab, and tuna..mainly. It's hard to eat super healthy when your still so limited at that point. I myself made egg salad, crab cakes, turkey meat balls, refried Beans, and ricotta cheese back (that was my favorite) I'm not so sure ricotta bake is "healthy"'But when you can only eat a few bits I would find it hard to put any weight on...which of course I haven't. You are mainly just learning to eat again and learning your new stomach. I still rely on my shakes to get my nutrients in, there's no way I could sustain on food alone. Oh and I made tuna salad but once I blended it it made me want to puke lol!

@@mishelcrz88, I've read a lot on here about the dreaded 3-week stall. That might be what you're experiencing right now, too.

Yes I heard of the 3 week stall I've been in the same weight for 2 weeks I just don't want to eat the wrong things or take it to fast I guess I was a bit discouraged because the scale won't go down and I thought maybe it's because of what I'm eating

didn't your doctor give you some guidelines/suggestions?

A great place to go for recipes is The World According to Eggface...
