[tri-med] Re: growth/pcos

hi kim, 
 
 
my "typical" daughter is 3 and she wears the same sizes in shoes and  clothes 
as camdace !
 
i also have PCOS and you can lose weight. i don't know why that dr told you  
that. Yes, the truth is you will have to work TWICE as hard as someone who 
does  not have it, but you can lose weight. i was also put on metformin 1500mg 
a 
day  which is considered a low dose, once that took effect, losing weight was 
so much  easier. The problem is the carbs for people with PCOS, so the south 
beach diet  is the BEST diet for PCOS people.

Hi.  Candace is big for her age as well - she is in the 96th  or 97th 
percentile for height and around 75th for weight.  Basically,  she's a 
beanpole.  Her 
shirt size is around 6 or 7 and her pants are  around 5.  But remember, she's 
only 3.  Her shoe size is around 10  1/2 (US).  Cameron, her brother who is 
10, wears a 2 1/2, which is 5  sizes bigger.  Candace doesn't take Pediasure 
but she sure does eat like  a horse.  She actually eats more than Cameron or me 
in one sitting.   I look at food and gain weight but the doctor diagnosed me 
with PCOS and  basically told me that I'll never lose weight.  Ah well.  
Candace  grows up but not out which makes buying clothes for her hard.  
Cameron,  on 
the other hand, is like my husband and me - has a little meat on him (I  have 
more than a little lol).  Candace also has heart issues and while  she was a 
baby she had to take Benecal to increase her caloric intake and put  a little 
meat on her bones.  After she was on that a while she just took  off.
You didn't mention how old your daughter  is?
