after being bulimic for a year and down to 97 pounds, would it be normal to gain back 4 lbs after eating normally for a week?

Yeah!! Congratulations!! Don't try to gain it all back overnight though. And be wary of any old feelings coming back remember it's ok to gain this weight back to be healthy.

Yes, you are finally taking in the food. Besides losing that much, you need the weight.

yes most defiantly. your body isn't use to eating, and "keeping" the food. so...its going to take some time to get your body back into the cycle of normal eating.

yes it is normal!
just make sure that you are keeping a healthy diet and that you exercise, not to make you thin but to build muscle! and drink a lot of milk!

That sounds reasonable to me, but what do I know? Or anyone else on Yahoo Answers??? You really should talk to a licenced doctor. Take care of yourself OK?

I would think so...your body has desperately needed those nutrients. It will slow down though, so don't freak out!!! Just stay healthy!
