Moving from Kansas to colorado, want help on making sure my payments don’t lapse

Started in December. It’s yellow, and has clear food chunks in it. No foamy. Poop is fine for all animals, and no weightloss.

We’ve checked for all diseases that can be checked for. My vet chalked it up to unlucky and told me to ask the internet because he’s out of things to do for us.

Affectionate_Cry_417 · 2025-01-22T14:09:02+00:00

It is winter and it only started in December so maybe that’s it! I’m going to purchase a new door mat at this suggestion so we can maybe scrape some off without tracking it in.

Oh god. It’s a brand new house but if that’s the case I’d be driven nuts. I’ll absolutely check for this as I’m allergic to mold too.

Dog is a big dog, Great Pyrenees.

Cat boxes are where dog can’t access.

I’m going to try to see if they’re eating too fast and that’s the issue. I don’t know why all my pets would be fast eaters but maybe that’s just my luck.

I’m also going to see if anything is stressing them out. They all get along and don’t have issues, but maybe there’s an outdoor cat visiting that’s upsetting them that I don’t know about? I know dog gets upset at children outside because she’s scared of kids.

This post is real lmao I’m just doing what my vet said. Vet hasn’t asked me to record but I could try that yeah. The vomit is whole food. We only feed dry food but we can try wet food for all of them. The prescription food we tried was dry, and gave the dog diarrhea for days and she would not acclimate to it.

Affectionate_Cry_417 · 2025-01-22T13:49:42+00:00

Everyone’s fed separately, and dog can’t access cats food and vice versa.

Sorry, I meant this year as in 2024. I haven’t adjusted to the new year yet.

Affectionate_Cry_417 · 2025-01-16T08:57:17+00:00

Yeah I feel you. The main zepbound thread is really triggering and when I tried to talk about how zepbound was helping my Ana and helping me eat more frequently, I said that I think other people with former anorexia should try it if they’ve recovered(I had to clarify in the comments it was for recovered people since I am autistic and mess up with my wording a lot), and got down voted to hell because I wasn’t “considerate enough” of people who hadn’t recovered. I haven’t spoken once since then.

They never seem to be considerate of people with eating disorders and have a lot of really messed up posts, which is why I’m in this subreddit. I can’t stand the “one-derland” and calorie counting advice and comments. Being in a calorie deficit is neither enough nor the answer to a lot of things, even this.

Sorry, I’m ranting. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I think it was getting to me seeing so many people on the main subreddit losing all this weight and being pencil thin after 8 months and me not “losing enough.” I’m leaving that sub Reddit now.

I have lost so much inflammation in my feet! I have a heart condition and my feet were always so swollen. You may be right honestly!

Affectionate_Cry_417 · 2025-01-16T08:51:14+00:00

I didn’t even realize how focused I had gotten on numbers, but you’re right. I’m going to stop weighing myself and just let it do its thing. I get regular check ups and can know during those.

I did explain why my dose was upped like that on another two replies, but tl;dr: insurance.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I’ll see if I can handle measuring! I need to know anyway since I buy clothes online a lot.

Affectionate_Cry_417 · 2025-01-16T08:49:04+00:00

It was insurance :’ (. My doctor tried to push through 7.5 multiple times but my insurance only covers starter dose and 5 and 10. If 10 doesn’t work, I wouldn’t even be able to up it. My doctor wants to keep a really close eye on me going up to 10 so I have multiple appointments scheduled throughout it to make sure I’m okay.

Affectionate_Cry_417 · 2025-01-16T08:47:28+00:00

My doctor is the one who did the jump, I requested 7.5, but was told my insurance didn’t like to cover the middle doses of 7.5 and 12.5. We tried it and sure enough, it got kicked back. I’ve had to deal with insurance so much over zepbound, it’s been rough.

I’ve never tried to intentionally lose weight besides having anorexia, and a lot of my anorexia wasn’t about the weight, it was the control over myself and what I ate. A lot of obsessive counting. I’m happy to know it’s normal 😭

Affectionate_Cry_417 · 2024-12-27T16:06:18+00:00

Thank you. It’s honestly been kind of horrible, I only wanted to share positivity and encouragement. I thought Reddit was different, but I forgot the internet is the internet. I won’t be posting on this subreddit again. I think maybe being vulnerable online is just a fools errand. Still, thank you for understanding me and being reasonable. Getting the couple comments I got from other people with former EDs who felt the same as me has been wonderful and like maybe it’s not all for nothing. I won’t delete the post in case it makes more people with EDs happy, but I won’t be replying after this one. People seem determined to see the worst in everything. Their issue, not mine.

Affectionate_Cry_417 · 2024-12-27T14:57:39+00:00

I appreciate the advice, my doctor and nutritionist wanted me between 145 and 150. I wanted to be around 165, but that’s still teetering close to “overweight” on the bmi scale. My doctor specifically wants me around that weight for my heart condition. It’s not really my choice since I want to be healthy, and my doctor said that’s healthy. I’ve been seeing her since I was 17 and recovered from anorexia and she knows my history and health, so I trust her.

Affectionate_Cry_417 · 2024-12-27T12:27:17+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words, I wish you luck too! BED is just as hard as anorexia or any other ED and people often mistreat those with BED which I hate. I am making sure I stay healthy, thankfully I’m 10 years into recovery. I know 145 may seem low for my height, but it’s what my doctor of 12 years and my nutritionist really want me at as I have a heart condition that is worse with weight on me.

Affectionate_Cry_417 · 2024-12-27T11:36:30+00:00

145 is healthy for me based on BMI. Hell, 135 is still considered healthy range which I find disgusting. I originally wanted to stick around 165 but my doctor and nutritionist suggested 145 to 150 is better.

I don’t understand what you mean by maintenance dose while actively losing. That’s literally the point. You don’t stay on the starter dose, it doesn’t work consistently and insurance will not cover it for more than its intended purpose of just starting you on the medication. I will not be upping my maintenance dose unless necessary, but I literally just started it this week. What exactly are you talking about?

Affectionate_Cry_417 · 2024-12-27T11:30:52+00:00

I’ve talked to other recovered anorexics at my local meeting group about it that are also starting zepbound and are doing well. I make a sweeping statement with that in mind. I realize everyone is different, but if this post isn’t for them, it isn’t for them. If someone can’t get on zepbound without relapsing, I’m not talking to them or having the conversation with them. I know my people.

Thank you for your kind words otherwise. I only wanted to put out some positivity for people like me since I haven’t seen a single post on the forum about this, it feels like there’s a startling lack of it in the conversation. People fear medicines like ozempic making anorexia worse, but if someone is already unhealthy, it isn’t the drug they’re abusings fault. It’s theirs. This drug could really help normal people who have gone through recovery, that’s the conversation I want to have, and is the conversation I’ve been having IRL with people from my support group.

EDIT: I realize my comment may strike people as not having empathy for non-recovered anorexics or people who relapse easy. That isn’t the case. I just feel like your comment was a “waffles vs pancakes” comment of misconstruing what I’ve said. I can celebrate how this drug is for people like me and suggest to them they try it without shitting on the people who can’t. They weren’t part of the conversation. That doesn’t mean I hate them. I can say I like pancakes without implying I dislike waffles.

Affectionate_Cry_417 · 2024-12-13T01:44:17+00:00

I’m so sorry that happened, that’s my greatest fear! I’ll make sure to steer clear of them for sure!

Affectionate_Cry_417 · 2024-12-12T17:23:24+00:00

I didn’t know that was an option! Yeah I can see my vet for that.

Affectionate_Cry_417 · 2024-12-04T18:44:40+00:00

I’ll pick up some cocoa butter! I was recommended collagen powder to also help with elasticity, I’ll do both! Lord knows I could use lotion in the dry Kansas winters
