Lookin Prego and Update!
Hey all. Yes, Its been forever since ive posted. As some of you may know I have been struggling with an addiction to drugs. Long story short, it got a lot worse BUT its gotten a lot better, today I am 4 months clean and sober. Ive relocted to another state to be with my elder Grandmother, Im happier then ever before. . . BUUUUUT
Since I got sober all I do is eat (and eat, then eat some more!) I put on about 30lbs these past few months, and by night time my belly is so full I look 6 months pregnant!!!! Its freaking me out! At 5'9, I got down to 130lbs, and I was sickly, but Id like to loose about 15lbs, suggestions on how to do it are most welcomed! Today I am roughly 165, and uncomfortable, I feel like Im 275lbs!!! ugh! HELP!

Weight gain can happen with or without addiction in your past. Good that you are in a better healthier place. Back to the basics with your DS diet might be the way to go. 100+ g of protein every day. Protein before carbs. Limit carbs especially sugars and anything made with flour.

RNY to DS 210 lbs gone for 5 years.
Back down on the white carbs and you'll gain some control. You may need a few days of protein loading to kill the cravings. Also, if you're not taking any probiotics or eating yogurt, start doing so. When my bacteria is out of balance, bloating happens in the afternoons and my stool is particular sour smelling.
