In a long list of 90 Day Fiancé makeovers that have taken place in 2019, Angela Deem’s weight loss made the most noise. Since Angela announced she was going to do a weight reduction surgery on the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Tell-All, fans waited to see the results with bated breath. Sure, Angela posted an occasional selfie on Instagram showing off her new self, but it wasn’t until Christmas that Michael’s wife revealed her brand new body. But while Angela might be waiting for her 90 Day Fiancé spin-off to reveal her skinny secrets, here’s what she could have done to shed all those pounds.
News of Angela being up to some sneaky business spread when the Hazlehurst grandma showed up on the 90 Day Fiancé reunion episode with a face-mask on. While fans and cast-mates thought it was COVID-19 protection gear, Angela spoke about dental work. Many deduced Angela was getting a cosmetic face procedure done, until she dropped the shocking news of her weight loss surgery on part two of the TLC Tell-All. Her Nigerian husband looked visibly distraught, especially after the 90 Day Fiancé couple spent the entire episode arguing about IVF and having babies. In fact, Larissa Lima, the plastic surgery goddess of 90 Day Fiancé also argued a weight loss surgery would be risky and Angela might even die! But over the past few months, Angela kept her fans on their toes by slowly revealing her transformation, first with a selfie showcasing wrinkle-free skin, then a birthday post showing herself at her skinniest best. But still, Angela is, even now, shying away from addressing the drastic weight loss in her IG captions, comments, or otherwise.
While no details have been revealed yet, Angela seems to be following in Mama June or June Shannon from Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’s footsteps. In fact, her solo 90 Day Fiancé spin-off rumors began when she was seen hanging out with her manager, Gina Rodriguez, and celebrity trainer Natasha Fett, who was part of Mama June’s weight-loss transformation. According to CheatSheet, Mama June was at her heaviest when she weighed an alarming 460 pounds, which she managed to lose, as chronicled in her Mama June: From Not to Hot documentary. Of course, Gina and Natasha both accompanied Mama June on her fitness transformation.
A gastric sleeve surgery in 2016 helped Mama June lose most of her weight by reducing her stomach size by about 75%. This surgery is supposed to make one feel full for longer and “forces you to reduce your caloric intake” drastically. Mama June, who wanted to fit into a size 4 dress for her ex’s wedding, also worked with a professional trainer called Kenya Crooks for her revenge body. But while weight loss surgery does get a person to lose oodles of pounds, it also requires one to maintain a healthy diet plan with reduced portion sizes. Owing to her sheer dedication, Shannon lost a whopping 84 pounds in hardly three months and went from a size 18 to her desired size 4. When the show aired, Mama June was at her lightest yet – 137 pounds.
Considering 90 Day Fiancé’s Angela didn’t name the surgery or the diet she was going to follow for her weight loss, all signs point to her being inspired by Shannon. Obviously, since Angela is still being so secretive about shedding her old self, one can presume that she will be doing her grand revelation regarding her weight loss in a solo 90 Day Fiancé spin-off.
