Have you discussed your ED with the Pdoc or is he just for meds?
If you are a healthy BMI, then I would worry more about the BDD and how one maintains health while working with that. You already know your BDD is affecting how you see yourself. You say you are eating protein bars and shakes and cereals and soy milk. Do you see a nutritionist about your diet?
Do you do any weight training or other core building exercises? Maybe that could trim your abs while maintaining a healthy weight. You would see the result of your work building muscle and trimming your tum and maybe help you deal with the BDD.
I know that EDs are difficult to deal with. It sounds like you should go back to the specialist who helped you with your ED and BDD.

I've been walking almost every day. I used to weight train but I admit I've gotten lazy, and soft. I just started with a new T so I'll probably be talking about my ED in there. The last pdoc that tried to give me something for my ED, gave me a stimulant (I was binging and purging at the time) and I got addicted to it. It was a disaster. I really don't know if my new pdoc knows. It's something I don't like to talk about and I have a hard time being honest about it really. I'm ashamed of it I think. I'm 5'4" and 106 after leaving IP. So I'm on the border of being underweight. But all my weight has been collecting around my gut since going to 300mg seroquel.
