Has your doctor considered starting Remeron now, as an alternative to the Zyprexa, to stimulate weight gain? Might work, and it was one of the options for going forward, right?
To me, restarting the Zyprexa, if you're not psychotic and were having problems with it, just doesn't sound like a great idea. Especially when it's being prescribed for weight gain, rather than for its more positive effects. Seems to me, and I am not a doctor and not intimately familiar with your specific issues, that trying something more specific to your issues -- like an anti-depressant known for weight gain, that could address your weight AND the depression and anxiety -- would make more sense.
Good luck with the consult, too.
