No, you need to start including a lot more IF (insoluble fiber) some vegetables with your meals. The all SF/break the cycle plan is only for the first couple of days.
Some tips:
Try adding some pureed fruit or applesaunce to your waffles or yogurt. Other ideas: Oatmeal (which contains a good balance of IF and SF) with applesauce or toast; eggs whites in a tortilla with chopped mangoes as a side.
At lunch, include some steamed, chopped veggies -- like carrots, squash, artichokes, peas, mushrooms, beets, etc. OR you could also eat a small salad after you eat your chicken and rice.
There's a cheat sheet available that lists SF foods, IF foods, and triggers to avoid: IBS Diet Cheat Sheet .
Same with dinner -- you can add some mashed beans and/or salsa, soy sour cream, slice of avocado, small amount of chopped tomatoes and onions (might want to wait until you're stable), shredded almond cheese (or soy cheese, these usually contain casein (milk protein) but that isn't a problem for most people).
Other healthy snacks: soy yogurt, carrots dipped in hummus, turkey jerky, some soy sour cream in a hot corn tortilla, chocolate almond milk (my favorite).
It looks like you understand needing a good SF base, but you're missing out on including IF. There are a ton of healthy, tasty recipes on the recipe board. I don't quite understand how you could be gaining weight if you're consuming the same amount of calories? Could it be water weight since you should also be consuming a lot of liquid (water, teas, etc)? Are you on an exercise plan (check out the fitness board)?
HTH! Best of luck to you! Oh, and welcome to the boards.
