Weight-Loss after GBS

Hi, since I got GBS I have been steadaly droppen 10 to15 pds per month. I dont feel hungry, and I drink atleast 8 glasses of water per day. I broke my ankle 2 years ago, and was just finishing up PT when I got hit with the GBS. I do a lot of vegies and fruit, and vary lean meats. also, nothen fried. if you need to chat further, here is my e-mail addy [email]netski@chart.net[/email]

Hey nathaniels momma- I have a nathan too, but he’s 9!! And also a Johnathan, he is 3. I got GBS in Feb, so I know how challenging motherhood can be with children. As far as weight loss, your best bet is healthy, balanced meals, low sugar, some protein. Are you doing any PT or workout to build muscle/strength?? It helps me alot to do a 45 min. workout twice a week. Consistency with diet and exercise is key. Stay away from pies, cookies, even tho it is hard around all the summer picnics-I think I gained a lb or two last week from picnicing. Us GBS’ers dont have the energy / stamina to burn off the extra calories. I try to eat alot of salad with lean meats. 😀

oh the dreaded weight loss..i am definitely having a problem with it and it is all mainly in my belly. I could honestly pass for being about 7 months pregnant and needless to say i’m not. i’m not great at dieting but for some reason i can’t drop the weight. i think i need a miracle:D

LOL I was readng my above post, it is supposed to say how challenging motherhood can be w/GBS!! :p

[QUOTE=Nathaniel’s Momma]I need some advice-has anyone been successful with weight loss and GBS. I got GBS last Oct. from childbirth, so I still have my baby weight and then some! It’s hard to exercise because of the fatigue and I just can’t lift the weights like before. Hey,I am having a time with my ever-growing baby!! Please let me know your success stories-thanks! and please take care-Kim[/QUOTE]
🙂 I gained a ton of weight being depressed an bedridden and unable to walk with GBS. Thankfully I recovered and am back in my classroom-albeit with 50 extra pounds. I have severe neuropathy in my feet. I have started swimming recently at a local comm. center-I am sarting to feel better already-many of these have childcare. Good luck!
