Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Dennis, Strange you should mention tonsils . . . but my sister and I both started putting on weight after we had ours removed at ages 4 and 5. And I've never heard anyone until now mention a tie with tonsils and weight gain. NOT a coincidence I believe. Anyone else have a similar experience? Rev.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Mine was not tonsils (had mine out at 2). I had an extreme kidney infection at the age of 5 and they did not get it under control until I was 6. Started school soon after reaching 6 and started to blossom! My Dad has always thought that it had something to do with my wt gain. Don't know...my sons started to gain wt when they got into school too. I think that we were just so active that sitting in a classroom didn't allow us to burn the calories we were used to burning. Also, the added stress of changing from a home life to a school life may have made us eat for emotional reasons. Guess I will never know.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Actually, I went from a very skinny poor eater at age 6 or 7, to a chubby kid right after having my tonsils removed. I always thought it had to do with the fact that I " discovered " ice cream post-tonsilectomy, which I was given to soothe my throbbing raw throat. Wouldn't eat it before. Wouldn't eat most things. Seemed that after the tonsils got pulled, I was not a fussy picky eater anymore.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 re: gaining weight after a tonsillectomy... .... actually, when I think about this it makes sense! I worked in an ENT office for many years and saw lots of kids with big, bad tonsils. Almost universally, two things were true when their tonsils were really bad. It was not easy for them to swallow, and they had sleep issues like snoring because of the occlusion that enlarged tonsils cause on an airway. They worked harder to breathe.. ie: used more calories. Enlarged tonsils make it more difficult to swallow, which really precludes eating just to eat. After a tonsillectomy, less calories are probably burned just simply because the airway is improved.. AND food goes down easier, making it easier to get more calories IN. Then, add on top of that someone who is prone to eating problems anyway.. and they start to " make up for lost time " . Never thought about it before.. but it makes sense to me. The converse is also true, and this I HAD intellectualized before... Kids also can become MORE active after a tonsillectomy if that is their personality type.. and actually lose weight rather than gain because it is easier for them to breathe... therefore athletics are more possible, as is increased activity of all kinds. Go figure.. It works both ways. deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Actually, haven't studies shown that sleep deprivation is one of the factors in weight *gain*? That snorers, and those with apnea are more prone to weight gain than weight loss. --- 365/194/160 Lap RnY, Distal - Dr. s Vanderbilt University Hospital Surgery date June 3, 2002 ----- Original Message ----- >they had sleep issues like snoring > because of the occlusion that enlarged tonsils cause on an airway. > > They worked harder to breathe.. ie: used more calories.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 I was a skinny sickly child, had my tonsils out when I was 5 years old, but it wasn't until 3rd grade that I remember thinking that my knees looked funny, then 5th grade when I wasn't bone skinny any more. But I developed anorexia when I was 15, 5f 6i and I weighed under 100 pounds. Was anorexic for quite some time, into my late 20's then I just became a binger and starver without ever being really thin. What is very interesting to me, is that I have never been able to go on a " diet " without ending up starving myself, we are talking 3 days or up to 4 weeks without food. There is something emotionally in me that changed with this surgery and it stopped this feeling that I've had for most of my life. ... hmm hope that was too much info.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Hal, you must have been quite the character! Tonsils Having my tonsils out at age four years was traumatic! I truly believe it is why I lost most of my hair by age sixty, got wrinkles, and can no longer run a four minute mile. I was taken to the local hospital by my mother, who left me there in the children's ward (boys only, of course) where I tearfully thought she was deserting me. When the nurse left the ward, I went to the locker next to my bed, put on my clothes, and walked out of the front door of the hospital (I was so tiny, no one noticed) heading towards my aunt and uncle's home which was a few blocks away. My aunt made the best chocolate cake in the world. Unfortunately, my break for freedom was short lived.an attendant ran after me, picked me up and carried me back to the ward. My clothes were taken away from me, and I was left totally embarrassed in a flimsy gown. The next things I can recall is counting backwards from ten, and getting a lot of chicken broth and sherbet for the next several days. I still like lime.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Hal, that's terrible!I'm so sorry to hear that experience was so traumatic for you that you still remember so vividly all these years later, it must have been so scary.We try so hard to do whats best for our children, sometimes even with the best of intentions we pave the way for years of hurt.I'm so thankful we can stay with our children now, our physical as well as emotional support is such an important part of their overall well-being.Thankyou for sharing your thoughts with us!

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 , Max had to have his tonsils removed because he kept getting colds, strep, and had asthma. Dr. Harbison suggested it because removal was supposed to help stop the infections. And it did, for the most part. The hospital stay is usually a couple of days for our kids. They need to be admitted the night before to keep up their blood sugar while fasting. The surgery is done fairly quickly and then there is the recovery. Kids without RSS do this as an outpatient, but our kids need more time. You will have to restart Maddison slowly on her g- tube feeds and gradually increase them until she can tolerate the full strength, regular rate. I don't know how long that will take. Because she has the g-tube, you won't have to stay until she is eating by mouth. One word of caution: the ENT may suggest that you have the adenoids removed, too. Be careful with this. Our kids have weakened soft palates and removal of the adenoids will take away the little support they have. It is better to kind of reform them, taking out anything that is an excess instead of complete removal. When Max had even this done, he spoke with lots of nasal emissions for a long time. The speech therapist had to work long and hard to correct that. Jodi Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 You can use the Freeda vitamins... if you calculate your child's dose based on his weight. Adult dosages are based on a 150 lb adult weight, so just cut the tablet down accordingly. I have done that with my daughter. The Kirkman vites are a good option, though, too.... and no guesswork on the dosing, or cutting tablets. Pea protein is not SCD legal, however. If you're concerned about keeping his weight up, I would do smoothies with a coconut milk (homemade, of course) base.... and maybe try to sneak some avacado in with other fruits like ripe banana or peaches. I know one child who accepted " green smoothies " when his mom started calling them " Incredible Hulk Shakes " .... she was even able to add a little bit of pureed green beans and squash to these shakes.

Yogurt can trigger further die-off when it's introduced... so a bit of stuffiness *could* possibly be an effect of that. All I can say is that you need to make sure he doesn't have access to drinking the unfermented milk in the future.... then try the yogurt again and see if you get the other symptoms. Was it goat milk dairy that used to cause his ear infections? Or cow? You might want to try some other nut milk base for the smoothies if you can't do coconut.... but just banana and other fruits, avacado and the other things I mentioned can be done without the base. Try freezing chunks of cooked peach, pear and banana... then whir them up in the blender with just a bit of water. Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 --- No it was regular cows milk that gave him ear infections. It is so hard to keep the fridge under lock and key.
