Then the question is "when is your next appointment?" If you are loosing several pounds per week or more...& your appointment is a month away.....not a good idea to wait.

For me, it was my GP that realized my weight was going down too fast because I was having other medical problems he was tracking. That was when my pdoc was told that my weight was dropping again.....& he works in the same office as my psychologist worked so they worked on my issues together.

Needless to say, that was when my GP made sure to check monthly....& pdoc asks me about my weight everytime I see him. I was seeing him monthly at the time & my psychologist & I talked about it weekly.

I ended up anemic & with mal nutrition & landed in the medical hospital for about 2 months being treated with IV nutrition....until I was finally medically stable. At that point I was eating just enough to make sure I didn't land back in the hospital.....but not enough to gain much weight.

It was a confusing time in my life because of the trauma I had just gone through with my Mother dying of cancer & the home care RN that stole her ID & all the threats I delt with during that time......actually the cause for the stress that causes me to not eat. I now have a psychologist that is working on the PTSD issues & the grief that I just can't seem to feel about my Mother. But every appointment I have with GP, pdoc, & weekly psychologist always has the questions about how my eating is.....& my GP is constantly doing blood work to make sure I am not slipping back.

It is good to be at a point where there are people who care & monitor you to make sure you are not "killing" yourself (like the medical hospital's psychiatrist told me I was doing this year). I am now fluxuating around a weight that is somewhat ok & the weight I am somewhat satisfied with.

If you feel that your weight may drop to an unsafe point before your next appointment, you may want to bring it up earlier....I can tell you from first hand experience that the central line nutrition is no picnic.
