Hunger

[dem214]

I am currently on day 9 and feeling pretty good.  Energy is low and having some brain zaps.  I am very, very hungry.  Does anyone know why.  I am usually not a big eater, but I am starving all the time.  I hope this doesnt mean weight gain.   Thanks for all the help and support.  I wish the best to everyone.

Well I am on day 11 now and I have fallen victim to major depression.  I just feel like I dont even know where to begin each day.  The days are so weird and boaring now.  I have no desire to even walk outside. Please tell me things are go n to get better.

    The brain sometimes replaces addiction with hunger.  Keep up the good work one minute, one hour what ever it takes to get through a day with out using.    You can do it.

did you eat much less while on opiates ? most of us did and also... craving for carbs and sugar is quite common after quitting them. I know i did, my brain was trying to fill all those receptors that i have awoken up ... if this is your case, that you are craving for junk food, carbs and sugar... keep an eye on your intake if you don't want to put on weight, i put on some .......go back to your healthy habits but give yourself some treats from time to time,  eat five times a day, small portions to keep your glucose levels controlled, the healthiest you eat the best..... there are some advices on the health pages ( right side of your screen )

Wow my liver must be so happy it wants me to eat my desk.  I have never been so hungry in my life.  I am a healthy eater for the most part, but I cant find anything healthy to satisfy me more than 5 minutes.  Do you think my metabolism has speed up also?  I am just ready to feel 100%, but I know it takes time.  I am  happy with how I feel so far.  I never expected to be feeling this good so soon.  Thanks again for all your help and support.
