Guest guest Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I am needing some help with an outpatient I am seeing for anorexia, don't have much experience. How quickly can I expect her to gain weight. She seems to be staying within 1-2 lbs. from where she started, not vomiting nearly as much, and really seems sincere that she is consuming about 2000-2500 calories a day. She is about 5'10 " and reports to having a pretty high metabolism, having never been heavy, her parents are both tall and thin also. I believe that I need to keep increasing her calories until she is gaining, but this has been such a slow process, about two months so far. Is this what is to be expected? Thanks for any help!
