Ive gained six pounds and im losing muscle mass!!! 😖😖😖 😧

Stalls are normal and expected. Losing a little muscle mass too, especially at the beginning.
The only time I lost muscle mass was during the first three months. I had a scan (equivalent of the DEXA) at my 3 months post-op and was worried. But at that stage I couldn't eat enough protein every day (I was really nauseous) but as soon as I was able to get those 60gr of protein per day, I only lost fat.
It's important to really eat enough protein, but not just from shakes, because assimilation is better from food, so I did mix meat in my veggie soup when I was in full liquid, or had soups made with bean, lentils or tofu.
