There are several other inhibitor style heartburn medications. I'm currently on one due to acid reflux.

Many "OTC" brands contain the same medications as the prescription drugs do.

I worked in an office environment for many years. During that time I saw many women and a few men gain weight, some quite a lot.
The company I worked at, in a "cube farm" hired young women just out of high school or junior college. They always started out slim, but nearly all of them gained weight, just sitting and working at their desks.
The sale people would bring in donuts often and during holidays, there were always tons of fattening treats available in the break room.

I prefer an obese feeder, one who would make me as fat/obese as they are. I have written a couple of stories where a slim, workout guy marries a BBW she makes him become obese too. Great fantasy!

That padding is erotic to most of us on this thread. I do it as a turn on, trying to make my belly look even bigger. I also pad my butt just for balance. I also try to use the minimum amount of clothes.

I have this fantasy from time to time as well, though very dark.

All of you are amazing. I have to admit, I'm envious of your gains.

I love to pad as well. I have attached a photo with a beach ball belly!

Latest padding. A pillow stuffed into reversed nylon briefs. I like padding with minimum clothes and as realistic as possible.

I prefer OCs for weight gain art personally. What little art I do is always my characters.

I retired from the military reserves in 2013. I had to stay in shape for twenty five years, the last ten or so were increasingly difficult to keep weight off. When I retired I started to gain deliberately and I have enjoyed the gain, more than I could have imagined.

I'm up to 230 lbs. from 206 lbs. I know, not a huge gain, but I have a 48" waist, bubble butt and thick thighs, life is good.

Keep at it (I mean eating). I found that I would get to a new high weight only to go back down to my previous weight. I'd binge get back up and maybe only go down a couple of pounds. I worked my weigh up to 230 lbs. from 215 lbs. doing this, good luck! and of course enjoy yourself!
