Thanks to Shawn and now your message Brenda, I finally have documentation that J. can take to the endo in January.

He saw a new doctor in October who told him to lose 50 lbs. and to drink only water.  The doctor offered no nutritional suggestions.  This isn’t working.  We monitor what he eats.  He’s doing fine and not eating junk but isn’t losing weight either.

I’m always concerned when a doctor tells a patient to lose weight but doesn’t offer any suggestions for a heathy way to do that especially when the patient is a teenager.
