I lost weight myself during pregnancy, and without morning sickness, just because I was eating more healthily.
When I was trying to do the increase protein snack thing, I went through a phase of making a ton of cauliflower cheese on a Sunday and freezing it in individual portions to eat for supper with ham. Also, you can put cheese into pretty much any soup. (Well, not miso soup...)
On formula overnight -- it's also endlessly possible to express for overnight. If you express some at the end of each feed, probably by bedtime you'll have enough for the deep-night feed. OTOH, this means messing about with sterilizers and pumps all the time, which some people think ends up being more trouble than waking up and feeding.
Now the squicky bit -- some people say that eating your placenta can help for PPD. I didn't do this and I don't know anyone who did, but I've read about it and some people swear by it. Though I have to say anyone who is up for that might not be the type to get depressed anyway. But other mammals certainly do it.
