Sepsis: What's your experience recovering from sepsis?
Intensive Care (ICU) | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (79)Comment receiving replies
The weight gain is why I hopped into this group. The day before I got sepsis- I walked 12000 steps - used my Nordic Poles and was at my perfect weight. I’m only 5’ and have always worn P8 or P6. I’ve gained so much weight ( log all of food and eat 1000-1100 calories/day). I am too scared to weigh myself- but I had to get 14P jeans and I don’t want to leave the house because of how I look. I’m confused by the weight gain and embarrassed at the same time. My sepsis was 18 months ago.

Until Sepsis, I was always at my perfect weight as well! Then by body just derailed!! I was 120 lbs. and I am now 190 lbs. wearing 1X! I avoid leaving the house and certain events because of this as well. Diet and exercise has been a losing battle. I truly believe there is a correlation to post sepsis and obesity. I hope to hear from a doctor in response to my post. I feel as if I lost my life at 48. I’m now 53.
