weight gain

I am on day 17 n feel so good! The change is so amazing. Just have 1 ? I have been so hungry 4 the last 2-3 days. I couldn't really eat @ first so I'm not sure if its my body making up 4 those days or is this normal? Even worse is it permanent?

Yeah, it's like that for the first few weeks (months in my case) - good day, followed by bad one, then two good days, followed by three bad ones, etc.  Hang in though and soon you'll be having good WEEKS!!  :)

What you're feeling is probably rebound pain - happened to me but after a few weeks (maybe a little over a month?) it started to stabilize and since then has been easily treated with the OTC pain meds - stuff like aleve and excedrin work great for me.

And the return of your appetite is normal too - you spend a lot of time not eating when you're using so I think your brain is finally realizing that you are HUNGRY!!!  lol  And that's a good thing so enjoy it - and yes, the appetite thing will stabilize as well.  Good luck to you and most importantly - CONGRATS ON THE 17 DAYS!!!  Be proud because you should be.  :)

Hi,
Congrats on day 17!!!  18 now?
I was pretty hungry after detoxing as well and it didn't last.  The need for sugar lasted though lol, but that's always been a big problem for me, is my sweet tooth.  Now I'm just a sugar addict :)
You'll find that you may have some bad nights or days here and there but they will certainly become few and far between as you go on.  Hopefully it passed for you and you are doing well today!
