I have gained so much weight since I've been clean, and I am having a hard time losing it!! It's depressing! Anyone else having this issue??? Any suggestions? No negative comments or opinions please!

How long have you been using mfp?0

my guess you are eating again. so you are gaining weight. if you are suboxone, eating hasn't necessarily been a priority previously.
working with dr's if you can regarding nutrition. drugs can deplete your body of essential vitamins and minerals. I've seen the effects on people's bodies.
try to eat healthy, read up on nutrition. if you are overweight, work on a low calorie deficit. if you are trying to maintain, i think nutrition is good to focus on and maintenance calories
read the stickies on this forum.
consider support groups or 12 step groups as these are people who have been there and done that.
oh and
i've heard that gum sometimes help people after they quit drugs, or candy.
and be careful with suboxone as that can turn into an issue too0 -
Sorry this is probably an old post. Did you gain weight on suboxone or did you lose weight before stopping?0
