I have lost a lot of weight due to a surgery that i underwent a month ago. i want to gain weight, but i have gastritis/ulcer, so i can't eat fatty foods. what should i do?

Nutrition consult: I would recommend a consult with the dietitian or nutritional specialist. They will be able to set up a course of foods that you can eat and gain weight in spite of your conditions. Best wishes to you.
