is it normal to gain weight when you go from liquid to musheys and you don't have a fill?

Yup. You're adding food with more substance to it. You'll lose it again. I gained a couple pounds, then it fell right back off.

thanks for posting this...I was wondering the same thing myself. I need to stop getting on my scale everyday.

Yes, I've heard this happens although, I must admit, I am still losing (have transitioned this week), albeit alot slower than on liquids.

I'm eating a fair amount of Protein though (ie lots of soft fish) - I don't know if that makes a difference but it might?

What you eat will definitely make a difference. It's rather easy to eat unhealthy mushy food rather than eating something healthy and high in protein. Your food choices are super important.

Thanks Shay, I was wondering if the Protein would make a difference given I'm eating more calories on mushies. Look like it does.

I'm have mushy oats for Breakfast, followed by protein and soft veggies for lunch and dinner. If I want a snack, I eat a piece of soft cheese. The protein is great for slow burning energy and it makes me feel uber-full.

I'm on the mushy stage too so I know how you're feeling. You most likely will not curb your hunger entirely, but I'm personally ok with that. I know i'll get a fill someday. In the mean time, I drink water to try and curb the hunger. Protein will curb your appetite though.
