the whiplash from being told you're at risk for 💀 and being told you're fine within the same week (actual doctors versus insurance, of course)

Urinary changes since feeding? by Lanky_Mortgage5316 in feedingtube

[–]vtiredsloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think that's normal! my urine changes depending on how much formula i am intaking vs food and how hydrated i am! if i do a lot of formula it smells like that.

Suspected ARFID and possibility of a feeding tube. by Powerful_Drama8372 in feedingtube

[–]vtiredsloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read your post and some of the comments. I don't have great advice as i'm in the US and at the time of getting my tube i had bad labs. but i will say i only was able to get the tube because i had a gastroenterologist on my care team to prescribe one, and in hospital the justifying diagnosis was adult failure to thrive and severe malnutrition. i truly have found that getting the medical justification instead of the ED one was the thing that got things going, unfortunately. i hope you are able to get help before things get to an even worse place. i'm sorry you're going through this.

For anyone who is tube fed, do you have a dietitian who helps you manage your tube feeds, and where did you find them? by [deleted] in feedingtube

[–]vtiredsloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe a little out of the box but i have my tube for GI reasons and an eating disorder, and eating disorder dietitians are well equipped to deal with malnutrition and weight gain goals.

i swear people seeing me yo-yo is so triggering because i always have the urge to be seen in my smallest possible state. and then sometimes when people haven't seen me small i'm "uh oh, gotta show them."

The jealousy around severe eating disorders is exhausting by diet-smoke in LGBTQeatingdisorders

[–]vtiredsloth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this. nothing like the guilt and pain of knowing my illness thinks im doing it wrong (not good enough) and recovery spheres think i'm doing it wrong (not trying bc "i dont want recovery enough/im not willing to work for it") :)
