Triggers! How do you regain your appetit
| Sat, 07-01-2006 - 12:37pm |
I was here a few weeks ago and was worried about whether or not I had an eating disorder. I finally saw my tdoc who sent me to my gp and he said I had a sinus infection. So, I though that was that.. But, when I finished the antibiotic and the appetite did not return I started to panic again. I'm already "under the microscope" by tdoc and pdoc because my bipolar has spun out of control and eating disorder symptoms are very commonly related.
Anyway, I am grasping at straws here trying to do anything I can possibly do to at least stop losing weight? I am drinking those instant breakfast things. I Don't want to gain any weight, but I don't want to lose any either.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have for me.

Hey Maui.
Have you seen a dietitician?

Hi Diana ~
Yes, I had considered eating ~ lol. I haven't sought out a dietician. I may have to do that though. The long and short of it seems to be is I am not sure if I've developed a subconscious self-injury behavior, an eating disorder or if there's something physically wrong.
Wow how did I miss this post!

Dianna,
I'm doing ok, I guess. My appetite isn't great, but I can at least get one *meal* a day down. My tdoc isn't thrilled, but says it's better than nothing. My pdoc put me back on lithium which my tdoc said requires me to eat more and drink a lot of water so I don't have a bad reaction like I did before. So I'm trying to do that, but it's taking a lot of effort on my part, because I just have no appetite. I'm still losing weight and am back down to what I weighed before my pdoc started me on zyprexa several months ago. That's good in that I can once again fit into my wardrobe, but bad because I was skinny to start with.
So, that's where I'm at right now. I don't know if that's good or bad though. Thanks for asking about me.

Sure no problem, kind of wondered where you were at, but figured you'd come by if you wanted/needed to.
Sounds like things are going kind of the way they were before, physically.
Anything exciting going on in your life?
