Hi... I understand your concern. Kids with heart disease will take a longer time to gain weight. More so after the surgery the recuperation will take some time. I suggest you gradually increase the solidity in his feeds and check his weight in another 1 month. If still not gaining weight, please approach your kid's pediatrician.
