stopped taking laxitives...but big weight gain

Hi, it has been about two weeks since i took a laxitive, i was abusing them for about a month.( on and off for years) Anyway, my weight sky rocketed to 133. i am only 5, 3 but i am eating some what healthy and still working out everyday. The best part is is that i am happy, i am not letting my weight gain run my life:)

i guess i am wondering if my weight will find a happy place? i have never weighed so much.

just eat more fiber. berries have a TON of fiber and are DELICIOUS and HEALTHY so eat a ton !!!! also, a lot of the weight you gained is probably from water since not going to the bathroom  24/7 makes you retain a lot more fluids.

And drink lots of water so your body doesn't think it needs to hang on to all the fluids! My guess is you should settle out soon but even if you do retain more water than you did when you were on the laxative, that's probably a good thing.

Your digestive tract is recovering from the trauma of those laxatives.  Things will level off as it gets healthier.  Also remember that you are now weighing the contents of your gut.  Before this you kept it emptied out.  It's normal and natural.  You already know that laxatives don't help with weight loss because by the time the waste reaches the colon all the nutrients and calories have been extracted, so it does no good at all.
