For anyone who has been in inpatient for anorexia?

Question

What would a typical day consist of in an inpatient eating disorder treatment program?

Answer 1

Where I was, we got up at 6am for vitals (blood pressure checks, temperature, pulse) and weigh ins. Breakfast was at 7:30am and a snack at 9. Groups started at 10 and lasted pretty much all day...until I think 4:30 was the last group of the day. Lunch was at noon and dinner at 6. Snack at 3 and again at 9pm. Bedtime was 10:30. Bathrooms were locked for 2 hours after Breakfast lunch and dinner and one hour after snacks. You had to have snacks and eat everything that was served. They checked to make sure. You could not do anything that could be considered exercise...even walking around the building. You met with your doctor pretty much everyday.

Answer 2

8:00 AM wake up and eat breakfast
8:30 Am Vitals taken by Nurses
9:00 AM go see the Doctor(s)
9:30 AM Counseling
10:30 Private time
11:30 Eat Lunch
12:30 Counseling
1:30 Art class
3:00 PM Phys Therapy
4:00 PM Doctor
5:00 PM Eat dinner
6:00 PM Large Group Meeting
7:00 PM Small Group Meeting
8:00 PM Community
9:30 PM Reading - Sleep

If you don't eat - then eating time becomes feeding tube time.

Answer 3

Overweight ppl telling you that this is all in your head and that it probably came from some crazy childhood experience. Honestly, if you are compliant and want help out of this crazy disorder, it will probably help you find remission. I was mad and very NONcompliant so i got out after 3 weeks. Im better now, though. Good luck and give it a shot!
