Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 -Elie gained over 40 lbs on Risperdal in 2 years. Then we switched to Seroquel. He has gained 10 lbs on it! Chubby???? Try 172 lbs on a 4'10 " frame! We are now FORCING exercise even if it has to be rewarded by a snack (And I did not start this food reward crap - it was school even though I have objected for years and have been ignored.) We are working on sweet tasting but low calorie, high fiber foods. Raisens - tiny boxes, 2 tiny slivers of a low fat Amish bread I make or banana bread. Fruit and veggies won;t do because I can't get him to eat them except as part of a full meal. We have also made our plates at table smaller and take 2 very samll servings instead of one or two large servings. Fruit juice is now down to a 4 ounce glass - there are 110 calories in 8 ounces of OJ and I have seen my son drink a quart at a sitting. Since ice water only goes so far, we are keeping diet root beer in his diet - no caffaine no sugar but lots of chemicals!!! Joan any other ideas for sweet sancks?? Oh yes - the whole family is working on food control - not just Elie although he is the catalyst.

Very sweet and not as sticky as raisins, but chewy so it takes longer. Do the snacks *have* to be sweet? (I know you didn't teach this....) Will he find it as rewarding if it's something like a special jerky? Andy likes sugar pea pods. Woudl that work? Let me know if it's a taste or a sensory thing that drives the meaning of the reward. j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on Luvox for a year and then we tried switching him to Prozac (supposed to have weight loss) but he developed one of those rashes. The Neurontin was an interim med while he was getting off the SSRI and he consistently kept gaining. Now he is getting off the Neurontin and on Cylexia (back to our old boy self) but each visit to the doc, he puts on 3 lb.. Fortunately he is is 5'8 " but still looking chunky and growing out of the new wardrobe. The funny thing is that he hasn't increased his diet and we try to get him moving with skiing, swimming and recently hooked him up with a personal trainer at the gym for weekly work outs.... and he just keeps growing out (height has stopped) ..... It is very disconcerting and I am fearful he will never stop! Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 I found an interesting tid bit about wieght gain and diabetes type 2 in children. Especially in children who are genetically predisposed for it( and nathan is big time on both sides of the family) They found that thsese children often starting as early as 10yrs of age have a high amount of insuling being pumped into their system thus persistant hunger and then ofcaurse eating to satisfy hunger and more insulin being pumped and then the weight gain starts (instead of the usual noted weight loss seen in diabetics)and often thses children and up are sedentry and we try to get nathan to exercise and have goals for certain amount of exercise and types for him too, but nathan often refuses or sits down after just a few minutes. He is not usuallly winded that weve noted, i dont know if it hurts his hips (hyperextention and all) or what the deal is. nathan's PED has refered him to see an endocrinologist at UIHC when we are there next month, his fasting blood sugars remain 100-110 even after 12hours of fasting. And nathan's dietician in UIHC also emailed me some reccommendations with calorie counting, diary keeping and other behavior management type of things plus food options to try with him(she is very nice and understanding) and were suppose to be getting an email or phone call from his behaviormangement team guy for any other possible things to try for the possible behavior parts of this eating frenzy becoming soo bad. shawna ===== shawna __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a year has gone by and I can't get him on ours!! I remember our pediatrician telling us to have Gene work up to a sweat three times a week!!!! What a laugh...I just looked at her skeptically.

Hi Sara, I guess you won't try uses those tapes againLOL. Zeb can get possesive about his movie tapes but I think he likes me to exercise with him because he likes to laugh at me. I must really put on a show for him.Would Ellie dance with you? If he likes it dance tapes are another idea. Charlyne Mom to Zeb 9 DS/OCD ?

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 -3. Additional note: My husband and I both use the tapes but when Elie finds that we are using them, he tries to take them out of the VCR, becomes " unruly " and tries to stop us from exercising. This is his private fetish and we better not horn in on it. But thanks for the suggestions!! Sara 1. > Elie has all the tapes cause he loves oldie music, but he > will only dance to them in his own time frame and we are NOT allowed to > join him!!!
