My daughter, Amber, 15, had her surgery May 12th 2004. While she was in hospital she lost 5 kilo's and since then has lost another 4 or so. She is eating, almost as much as she was before the surgery. I'm not worried at all that she may be anorexic. She tells me that she is hungry and she eats. We all sit down together (1 parent, 5 kids) and eat together for 99% of meals eaten at home. So I know that she really is eating.
Does anyone have any ideas on why she is not gaining weight? She is now 5 ft 11 and weighs 51 kgs ( I think that's about 122 lbs)
She slipped and fell in the shower the other night and afterwards asked me to feel her back because she said it felt different. I could feel everything in her back. I ran my fingers down the rods the whole length of her back and could feel every part.
I'm stumped as to how else to help. She is having protien shakes and lots of carbs, fresh fruit and veg.
Has any one else had this happen?
