weight gain

Taking a multiple vitamin daily may stimulate your appetite. I take a children's

chewable everyday.

Weight Gain

Hello all,

I desperately want to put on a few pounds (I weight roughly 60). I'd

like to be at a comfortable 75 or so, just so that I have meat on my

bones if I were to get sick and rapidly lose weight. My problem is, I

have the hardest time gaining weight EVER.

Any suggestions?

Thanks! -

I used carnation instant breakfast & Scandishake to put on a few

pounds. However, I found I became very weak during the process and had

to stop drinking them. I only put on 3 lbs, so I don't think it was the

weight gain. I'm forever going to weigh 45 lbs, I guess.

Alana,

Would you please post the smoothie recipe? I can't open files on the

iPod touch yet. Pass along any soup recipes, too!

Re: Weight Gain

,

I gained 3 lbs in 10 days by going from 900 calories a day to about

1300. I started with adding the banana smoothie recipe you can find in

the files section of this group. I got sick of the smoothie but am

adding 1-2 tsps of flaxseed oil to things like soups, rice, whatever

I'm eating. 40 calories per teaspoon. My appetite increases when the

foods are higher in fruits and vegetables. They're hard to chew and

swallow but I'm doing great with pureed soups. I'm also drinking a

Scandishake (400 calories) on days I'm not eating as much. They're not

gritty if I make them an hour ahead of time.

I started at 53 lbs. 5 weeks ago. I'm scheduled to be weighed Sunday

morning. I'll let you know how it's going. Also, I figured out how

much I was eating and what nutrients are missing by entering what I eat

here: http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov/Default.htm

Hi Amy,

Below are 3 versions of the recipe. The molasses flavortakes a bit

of getting used to, but it's so important for the potassium. Start

with a teaspoon if it's too intense. I also like it better if I add

3 strawberries, a handful of frozen raspberries, or half of a peach.

Thanks so much! I assume the probiotic powder is optional?

I have the exact same problem. 13 year old weighs 253 pounds. He weighed 165 before going on Abilify 1 year ago. I demanded he be taken off Abilify and put on Prozac. He has taken with sucess before. Abilify also causes diabetes. He has only been on Prozac for3 days so I will keep you posted on his progress.

I have another theory about weight gain. I suspected I had parasites that were attracting the mites. After being tested on the bio machine by the Nutritional Doctor, I tested positive for several. I am taking German herbs to target them and have been dropping weight weekly. My detox machine (ionizer) pulled the last of the black pepper looking mites out of my hands about 3 weeks ago. I don't see them anymore. My Hulda Zapper seems to be killing the mites in my ears ( I make sure I wet them inside before using)From: Lynn <torpedolynn@...>bird mites Sent: Fri, July 23, 2010 1:04:21 PMSubject: Re: Weight Gain

There is correlation between weight gain and lyme medically documented. But

there is also medical documentation linking obesity heart disease and diabetes

to foods being consumed, and water. Pesticides, corn syrup, plastic, and trans

fat which was pushed in the 80s as the safe replacement for butter and lard is a

chemical the body cannot even process. The step Washington is making to examine

the obesity problem from our water and food source will make the pharmaceutical

people mad all the long term drugs they sell.

OH, yes. You put your feet in for 30-45 minutes. Which ever foot has the negative charge gets the cleaning. Then switch for the next session. Same for the hands. I alternate everyday between hands and feet. You poor the toxic waste in the (dish) tub down the toilet and then clean everything with soft scrub. Let dry. The machine has high, medium, and low. The high is too high as it pulls calcium out of your nails. Start with low. If it works, stay there. Medium is only for emergency treatment. The machine pulls parasites out of your body.

A shake made of egg beaters and/or whey or yogurt , frozen fruit, natural almond butter, and a tea spoon of benefiber can surely help people gain weight provided that they still eat 3 meals a day plus a shake or two. The key is having the appetite to eat!

Hello, I think it is common with scoli kids. My son is 23 months and 20 lbs!

Crazyness. I do worry about it but try to stuff him with anything I can. All his

dr's say he will always be very skinny and not to worry to much about it.

Grace is almost 4 1/2 and she is still only 30 lbs. She is average on the charts for height, but in the last 2 years has taken a nose dive in the weight department. Overall, she is on the height/weight ratio chart at 6%. Her pediatrician said if she drops below 0 then they'll begin to worry. I chalked it up to her casting and/or bracing for a while as she would get full really quick, but she hasn't had either for the last month and we still can't get any weight on her and she eats A LOT! For example, 2 weeks ago we went to Olive Garden, she ate 5 (yes, 5!?!) helpings of salad, along with part of her kids meal. I give her higher calorie snacks whenever she wants them. I just hope she doesn't lose since we're going back into a cast after 6 mo out of it.

I've considered getting her pediasure to increase her calories, but I'm afraid she'd like it so well that she'd fill up on that and not want to eat.

The growing longer faster could be because of height gained by straightening of the curves. Grace had her biggest growth spurt height wise in the last year after her surgery and casting.

The pioneer classifies infants w/ scoli by 2 types, the slender & sturdy

phenotypes. Many children in the slender phenotype category are syndromic,

and will always be slender. The sturdy phenotype has no syndromic

diagnosis, no weight gain issues, and will respond to ET quicker. My

daughter had serious weight gain issues, was considered slender phenotype

& had the triple diagnosis of EDS, hip dysplasia & PIS. She remained at

24 lbs for about 3 yrs. Now, she is almost 13 yrs old, weights only 65

lbs and is 4ft 2. She is doing great though.

Its pretty normal for scoli kids to be thin. There are a few weight

boosters and high calorie recipes on www.infantilescoliosis.org

is the slender phenotype for sure! I have worried about it in the past, but finally realized he is eating and thriving.

No he is not gaining weight like the "normal" 5 1/2 year old boy, but we are far from normal!

is 3ft 7 1/2 inches tall and only weighs 36 lbs. The boys can eat, but rarely gains weight. Oh to have this problem.

We have seen a dietician. They recommended Pedisure and adding things to their

diet such as extra butter, cream things like that to foods to boost calories.

With my picky eater he noticed the taste and won't eat it. He will drink the

Pediasure though.

is a picky eater.  She'll eat french fries, but she won't touch a tater tot or mashed potatoes.  She won't eat hot dogs (what kid doesn't eat hot dogs?).  About the only thing she'll eat is Mac & Cheese and Chicken Fingers (and they have to be Mickey Mouse shaped chicken nuggets from Costco).

She's so picky - a few weeks ago we went to BJ's for dinner (a restaurant).  On their kid's menu they have 'Kraft Mac & Cheese - straight from the box'.  It's the only kind she'll eat at home.  She wouldn't touch the stuff at the restaurant!  (She did eat it the next day, because she thought I had made it).

Addie has weight 25 lbs now for well over a year (she'll be 3 next month).  Maybe for 1 1/2 years.  I laugh, because she could still go into a Baby Bjorn!At least you all are making me feel better.  It tough - some days, it feels like she won't eat anything.  She might have a fruit leather, a glass a milk, and some Mac & Cheese, and that's it.

I'm sorry I'm a few days behind but my daughter has only gained 1 pound since going into a cast in July 2009. The doc hasn't been concerned since she is still growing in height and is not losing weight.
