Hypermetabolic After Anorexia Recovery..?!
Question: Hypermetabolic After Anorexia Recovery...?
I just got back from a residential hospitalization program for eating disorders and in about 5 weeks, i went from 80lbs to 95 lbs (i am 17 yrs old, 5'4). Anyways, the dietician there had me on a lot of calories (like 3400) to gain weight, but she said we will remain hypermetabolic for awhile and i may have to eat this much just to maintain my weight.
So i have 2 quick questions:
1) Do you think i should gain more weight.?
2) How long will i remain hypermetabolic.?
If you could answer one or both of my questions, that would be great! Thank you!

Some people are seriously stupid on here. (referring to the "jealous" one above)
Ask anyone and girls that are NORMAL looking are the truly beautiful ones, not the skeleton looking ones, and living with anorexia is WAY not worth it. Too time and mind consuming :(
You are still TINY at 95!
Gain 10 more pounds and you will still be on the skinny side, but HEALTHY.
Good Luck <3 Grats on doing a brave thing :)Health Question & Answer

It's your body, you will know when you are no longer hypermetabolic.
I know it's a lot of food right now, and I know it's hard. I was in Friends Hospital for the same program.
When you get to a healthy weight, your doctor, nutritionist, or both, will let you know when this is, you don't get to decide.
Your nutritionist will change your meal plan accordingly.
You've got about 10 lbs to go, dear. I think they'll probably lower your calories after that.
And the last thing you need to be thinking about is the "C" word, so take it one meal at a time and soon the hard part will be over.Health Question & Answer

1. You should be at around 110-130 pounds for your height, depending on your body frame size.
2. I don't know much about being hypermetabolic after recovering from anorexia. I'd imagine you'll be that way after a few months. Just make sure that you get enough calories. You'll feel better and more energetic if you take in these calories with lots of meat, potatoes and vegetables. You're in a positon to enjoy some yummy desserts, too, you've earned it! But, I know that those foods can be hard on your system if you've gone without eating for a long time.
Congratulations on your recovery!Health Question & Answer
