Refeeding after 9 days starvation

2018-01-01 10:00:45
I haven't eaten since about the 22nd or 23rd, so about 9 days. I'm aware of refeeding syndrome and know I can't just go back to eating normally or I could do some serious harm. I have been drinking water throughout. Do you have any advice for the refeeding process? Some sources I've seen indicate that monitoring of fluid, electrolyte levels etc. is important, which isn't really something I can't do myself. Is that necessary (i.e. going to hospital)? Taking Mitrazapine (30mg), am 24 and female.

If your blood pressure and urine output is fine , start taking fluids and semisolids. But a baseline blood electrolytes level need to be checked. Take lime juice , soups ,curd. Contact me over phone for further information
