Re: weight gain

[Guest guest]

Kathy,

S/F carbonated beverages do not cause weight gain in and of

themselves. I don't know about you but sometimes I associate certain

drinks with certain food like root beer and pizza, margaritas and mexican

food, diet coke and chocolate. If I can do one with out the other I am

fine but there is just something about that diet coke and chocolate bar

that I could always justify in my former life.

Hello to everyone,

I have not been on the listserve for a long time as our computer had crashed. I

am trying to catch up a bit. I also wanted to let you know that we saw Dr. H a

few weeks ago and as some of you know, there was a possibility that Dr. H was

going to recommend a tube. Well, the great news is that Jonah gained over 2

pounds since our last visit and grew well to. All this with a stomach virus and

cold in between. Dr. H. was thrilled and therefore no feeding tube! If he

continues like this and does not spill ketones, he will not need one. We are

so happy and must live one day at a time and pray that he keeps up the great

work. She increased his Periactin again and the increased Miralax has made all

the difference for him too. She asked that I tell all parents how bad it is for

the kids to be constipated, how the Miralax helped and the difference it can

make in terms of weight gain.

I am thinking of you all and look forward to seeing many of you in Chicago!

My weight gain was in my belly, ! When the Dr started me on

high doses of prednizone, I gained 60 lbs in two months and the odd

thing was that I was nauseated all the time and could not eat! If I

kept anything down, it was cool vegetables...........and that should

NOT make a person gain weight. Yes, it IS hard to find clothes that

fit and look right on a person........just another little "gift" from the

old Sarc Monster............

Darlene and ,

My weight gain was belly and lap. Went from pant siz 32 to 44 with suspenders.

Wear 2 t-shirts one under the suspenders and one above to hide them. Have to

wear suspenders due to no weight gain at hips, with out suspenders would be

showing plumber crack and that aint pretty. I blame that d--- m----- f------

Prednisone for my weight gain and fat belly and moon face. Had a woman in the

store today tell me i should eat less fats. Well exploded on her and told her

" No I just the stop taking that d-------------------------------------

Prednisone and live in pain and frustration and I could be as skinny as her

a--!! " Felt bad afterwards and had to apologize cuz' she cried. I told her it

was all the prednisone fault and went into explain all bout Prednisone and calm

her down, she left lil more knowledgable and I left out of spoons. heading to

bed you girls be good.

prednisone. I had the diabetic thing too. I am on 10mg a day and although the

diabetic thing is under control I am still about 45 lbs above what I used to be.

ARGH I too try the excursive, to no avail. I used to walk 6 miles a day to stay

down to 150. I had a gastroplasty in '87 and went from 357 to 150 but not

without hard work. I will work to no end to keep from being that 357 again.

Every time I see me in the mirror I get scared and motivated at the same time.

Yes, that is where my belly fat is too, I started going to PT and it's been great, my pants are getting lose, but again no wt loss, it is really helping with the way I walk, and my balance, but not so much the distance I can walk, but I do feel " things " getting tighter, but I do wish I could get rid of the wt too.

Is everybodys weight gain in the belly? I have been buying maternity pants so the legs will fit me right. Being shaped like Humpty Dumpty makes finding short & pants that fit right awful hard. The new maternity pants they have out now don't have that awful panel in the front! I bought a pair at KMart this weekend and the fit is perfect! When I buy my gut size they always slide down and sometimes fall off! LOL Now that's a lovely image! I tried to find suspenders to keep my pants up but KMart didn't have any. BUMMER I'll keep looking. Maybe St has some....

Jackie.I think everybody on the d--- Prednisone knows a lot about weight gain. I am glad to know that I have brothers and sisters out there fighting the good fight.

Good Luck to you Jackie Keep up th good fight.Greg

It's a lovely phenomenon called "fat redistribution." The steroids don't just increase appetite leading to weight gain; they encourage most of it in the middle! Many folks keep fairly thin arms & legs, with the moon face & thick middle. Of the 90# I gained on Pred, I've lost about 60-65, with most of the extra in my middle. When I look down, I have 3 horizontal rolls--the boobs, a middle area & what I've heard called the subcontinent. My docs have told me that this middle weight is the hardest to lose. It's also the worst for our health; that fat around the heart & abdominal organs is dangerous.
