I gained a lot of weight from multiple psych meds. In November 2015 I got off all the meds that caused me to gain weight and I've since lost 53 of the 100 pounds I need to lose. I was borderline anorexic when I was a preteen. I even almost got sent to an eating disorder unit. I do obsess over calories and I freak out around food sometimes but, I have not been feeling good physically so I have not been eating much. I went to Fridays last week, I wanted a half rack of ribs and fries, I then started worrying about calories so I ordered the lunch soup and salad. The soup tasted really good so I thought it must be unhealthy. II was also worried about sodium levels. I did not eat anything else that day. I was really worried so I bought a case of Slim Fast for meal replacements when I feel too sick to eat but I need to eat. I only plan on drinking one when I really can't eat. I was thinking of buying ensure, but I still have weight to lose. Is slim fast ok to drink or should I have gotten the ensure? I know the place I go to for group is concerned that I might be developing an eating disorder. I don't eat much when I'm there for 6 hours. I get asked why I'm not eating. I'm worried if I show up with a slim fast they will send me to the hospital. I do do some things like cutting up my food when I don't want to eat and I don't want people to notice, I also chug a lot of water. Lately everything I eat makes me nauseated and I just don't feel like eating. I'm just not sure if its psychological or what. Should I have bought the Ensure instead of the slim fast? What do you think my situation?

I am in no way anywhere near an expert on this type of situation, but since I don't see any other replies I will humbly offer my two cents.
My best advice would be to talk to whoever is in charge of your group about the situation you're in and how you've been feeling. Whoever they are, they're most likely far more qualified to assist you than say, me lol But in all seriousness from what you've put here it does seem like you may be obsessing a bit. It's better to be safe than sorry (especially since you seem to be worried, we don't want you to have extra stress in life), so I suggest simply having an honest conversation with a professional and then deciding where to go from there.
Best wishes

Whether you are still overweight or not, loosing weight can become very addictive. Also from restricting it can mess up your body chemistry whether you still have a lot of weight to lose or not. ENSURE is probably better balanced nutritionally as it is what cancer patients are given if not on IV nutrition. But there is nothing better for the body than REAL food & eating the right amount to lose the amount you want to lose slowly & naturally.

The group you are in might send you to have your blood tested to insure you arent anemic but hospitals wont admit anyone even with. anorexia unless there is a REAL MEDICAL NEED for treatment usually when a patient becomes anemic.
