[QUOTE="Chaosuncontained, post: 485311, member: 11016"] In third grade, Carson weighed aprox 58# (weight when he moved to my house full time and started seeing a doctor here). He had zero appetite from the stimulant medication he was on. We used to take him to the store and tell him to pick out WHATEVER he wanted to eat and we would buy it. He rarely did. We took him off of the stimulant. He started gaining a little weight. Then we started Abilify. BOOM. Changed to Risperdone. BOOM BOOM. He recently gained 6# in 4 weeks. In 18 months he went from 58# to 74#. He wore size 8 pants last year--with the adjustable waistband pulled as small as I could make them. Now he's in 10's...with no adjustable waistband. And there are getting SMALL. His butt will soon require it's own zip code. He wants to eat constantly. No fruits. No veggies. I let him have a sandwitch or popcorn. I try to distract him with another activitiy...but it's always "I'm hungry. I'm hungry." I am OK with him being "fluffy"...but I'm not OK with him getting obese. ;) [/QUOTE]
