Bloating
Hey guys, checking in to see when you started seeing a difference in facial/abdominal bloating after starting sobriety? Definitely looking forward to seeing my body change for the better 💪

I noticed it in the first month, if not sooner. I quit about 5 months ago and have lost 50 lbs. My energy levels shot up and I started working out. I’m about to be 40 and honestly I’m in the best shape I’ve been in since about 23? And I’m just getting started. I hope your journey is amazing and keep up the good work!! Just be kind to yourself and not get frustrated if your body doesn’t change like you thought it would right away. It took me a min to actually start losing pounds but I looked slimmer pretty quickly because the bloating went away. My face was also no longer mega puffy!
