Just to comment on the waiting ;ist it is normal to have to wait
that long a month is oretty good I had to wait 2 and a half months.
because there are so many people w/ glandular probs. And also my doc started
me on
1500mg of glucophage. The weight won't peel off right away but if she eats
right and does a
little exercise(walking 30 min a day)she will start seeing improvements.
And just something my endo told me was not to "diet". Dont make drastic
changes right away in eating habits
Just try cutting back on the amount first. Instead of drinking pop drink
diet pop. If you were to drink 6 cans of pop a day
thats 900 calories by itself. By switching to diet that cuts 900 calories a
day out of her diet.
good luck
