It's a combination of things -- appetite suppression, and metabolic changes. The good news is that it should be self-limiting, as your body adjusts, any weight changes should taper off.
My advice, really, would be to see a dietitian, who can help you work out a meal plan to help you keep your weight within normal limits. Otherwise, it's also possible that adding another drug would help reverse the appetite suppression. Maybe adding an SSRI, which might boost the effects of the Wellbutrin?
It would also be worth discussing this with your doctor. Maybe there's something else that might help.
Good luck.
