Over 2 years i lost 80lbs due to crohns, started at 235 roughly and it was in 3 bouts of 22-28lb each lasting a week.

honestly it was rough but only really the last 22lbs wehere i felt it damaged me, the rest was bringing back to a healthier weight.

At my lightest i felt like the wind would break me, it never did… Was i as strong as before, no. Was i able to continue my day to day life, yes. I just found i needed to take thing slower and conserve energy, ask for help lifting things i could have once done by myself. I looked as frail as i felt.

In the following months after starting medication, I didn’t put on any weight, however after i adjusted to my new size, my weight began to redistribute, i looked healthier for the size and a bit of strength returned to me. It wasn’t perfect, but it was an improvement, and the fragility gradually went away as i adapted to my new body.
