Guest guest Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 Sounds like you had a dumping episode - probably from the milk. Most of us are lactose intolerant after surgery - and milk is just lactose which is a sugar!! Bummer, huh? I was craving milk the first few weeks. Could practically taste it going down......(I love milk, oh well!) Your weight loss is fine. I too was a fairly slow loser and still am (2.5 monthes out) . You will find that it will not be a steady thng, this losing weight. You will have plateuas when you lose nothing, you will have weeks where you lose like crazy, others when you lose the reccommended 3-6 lbs. Your age makes a difference (boo hoo for me), the older the slower. Your metabolism is just fighting the change in your body - dont worry - it will come off. Please keep me informed of your progress!

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 On Milk Even tho I absolutely CRAVED it post op, I am now glad I didnt go buy Lactaid milk. All milk is really is sugar (lactose-) and who needs that? Ann Elliot RNY with choly July 18 2003 291/241////hoping for 150 I will not give up the fight!!!!

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 40-60 is normal for a well trained athlete. 60-100 is normal for the rest of us. Be careful!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Carolyn, Unless you are a well conditioned athlete a heart rate below 60 is too low. I've asked here before and now forget exactly what a good target resting heart rate is but I know it's higher than 60. in MA USA Graves since March 1997 Currently on 0 PTU tablets per day Was euthyroid from 2000-2002, Hoping that I am now too!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Sabina....the triangular appearance refers to the fact that RSS children tend to have broad foreheads with small features rather crowded towards the bottom of the face. They tend to have small mouths and chins in relation to their foreheads. Someone else said that their heads are kind of 'lightbulb' shaped...thought htis was quite an apt description! Having said all that RSS kids are VERY CUTE!! good luck Eileen (p.s.also they can have low set and sometimes protruding ears) lipi_imon lipi_imon@...> wrote: I am a new member and havde not posted before. My daughter is still in the investigation stage, she was diagnosed to have skeletal dysplasia before birth due to short limbs but after birth was labeled proportionate IUGR. She has some characteristics of RSS, IUGR (3-15 lb and 15.5inches at 36 weeks), large forehead with mild bossing, huge fontanels, blue sclera (a rarer trait), and feeding problem, delayed bone age. I dont understand the triangle face thing, because none of the pictures of the RSS kids have seen the faces look triangular to me. She is on NG tube for almost a year, she now eats on her own during the day (4 meals each about 4 ounches formula+cereal+baby food mixed to about 30 cal/oz) and 9 hour drip feed at night. Despite her weight she has a cubby appearance. THe geneticist didnt think she was RSS but did not outright rule it out. Her endo is testing for GH, Noonan syndrome,etc. but has not mentioned RSS. posted a couple of pictures (they are taken at 9 and 12 months) in the album under Naomi. She is now 12.5 lbs and 23 inches, but is quite " chubby " in appearance despite the low weight. Wanted some opinion from experts here on RSS.
