Extreme bloat post weaning! Help!

Weaning

I officially weaned my second a little over three weeks ago. I am SO bloated. This never happened with my first. Pants that fit me a couple weeks ago are so uncomfortable and can barely do up, this started a week after stopping completely. I checked my weight the day I officially ended breastfeeding and I’ve only gained 3lbs so it’s not as if I’m putting on weight. I’m just so bloated. From what I’ve read, this is a normal hormone shift. But can I do anything to help?

It’s been three weeks and none of my summer clothes are fitting and I hate the way I look right now. I was just waiting it out but after 23 days I’m growing a bit impatient and upset tbh lol.

I’ve stopped eating after 7:00pm, walking on my treadmill daily, drinking lots of water, trying not to over indulge. Just looking for some light at the end of the tunnel. 😫
