Wow’: Mama June, 44, Debuts Her New Figure after Losing ‘A Lot of Weight’ in Just 2 Months

Mama June’s back with a bang! The reality star shed 30 pounds in a shocking two months, sparking a firestorm of mixed reactions. Weight loss drugs, unwavering grit, and maybe a sprinkle of controversy – this is Mama June’s transformation story, raw, honest, and guaranteed to keep you glued.

Reality TV star Mama June has set social media on fire with her jaw-dropping transformation. In just two months, she has shed an astonishing 30 pounds, leaving fans buzzing with a mix of reactions.

Known as June Shannon off-screen, Mama June recently opened up about her weight loss journey. She radiated confidence in a figure-hugging orange dress. The star complemented her look with pink nail polish and a stylish braided ponytail.

In a candid interview, Mama June sat down with her daughters—Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird, Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon, and Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson—to discuss her journey.

She revealed that while she initially considered using semaglutide to manage her weight, it was tirzepatide that played a key role. This medication contributed to her impressive transformation.

Despite her initial reservations due to her gastric sleeve surgery, Mama June now sees the benefits of the medication. “I was against it because I had a gastric sleeve,” she admitted. “But now, I’m in week nine and you can ask the girls—I am so super strict.”

Her newfound dedication and discipline have clearly paid off. Her appearance sparked both admiration and debate among her fans. “Didn’t even recognize her…,” wrote one fan, clearly astonished by her dramatic transformation.

Another applauded her transparency about the methods she used to lose weight. They commented, “Kudos to her for being honest!” Someone else was left nearly speechless, simply writing, “Wow,” to reflect their amazement at Mama June’s new look.

However, not everyone was impressed. “She will always look overweight to me,” one skeptic stated bluntly. Curiosity also emerged among fans regarding weight gain after a gastric sleeve surgery. “How do people gain after a gastric sleeve?” one user asked.

Another fan responded insightfully, “After so long, you don’t have the same restrictions, so if you don’t fix your relationship with food, you fail.”

Mama June has embraced a new fitness regimen. She sticks to a protein-packed diet and hits the gym at least three to four times a week. This marks a significant shift from her gastric sleeve surgery a few years ago. After gaining between 120 and 130 pounds over the last year, she hopes a more gradual approach will lead to lasting results.

“It isn’t as fast as a gastric sleeve or a gastric bypass, but it is doing it, like, more safer,” she explained. However, her daughter Efird has reservations about her mother’s methods.

Efird pointed out that any time her mom lost weight quickly, she often ended up gaining even more back. She added that her mom sometimes didn’t stick to a healthy diet or exercise routine, opting for another surgery instead.

Mama June has been candid about her weight loss journey. Since the early seasons of the family’s reality TV series, originally titled “Mama June: From Not to Hot,” now rebranded as “Mama June: Family Crisis.”

Despite shedding 30 pounds, she now emphasizes monitoring her habits closely. She recently took to TikTok to share her frustration after gaining a pound despite her rigorous gym routine and protein diet. Aiming to refine her approach, she plans to reduce her protein intake from 80-100 grams to 40-50 grams.

A few years ago, after undergoing gastric sleeve surgery, Mama June opened up about the financial and physical costs of her dramatic transformation. While fans were stunned by her new look, she revealed that achieving it was far from cheap.

The journey involved multiple extensive surgeries, including breast augmentation, neck skin removal, bat wings (excess fat in the upper arms), and the removal of 9 lbs of loose skin from her stomach. The total cost for these procedures was a staggering $75,000.

Mama June acknowledged the intense pain that accompanied going under the knife. Despite the physical toll, she felt the procedures significantly boosted her self-esteem. Critics have accused her of cheating her way to self-improvement, but she remains unfazed.

Her commitment to her journey, even in the face of challenges and criticism, continues to inspire many. Her candidness about her struggles and adjustments underscores her dedication to a healthier lifestyle.
