Has anyone else rapidly lost weight due to illness?

You know that “last 15-20 pounds” that people get so hung up over losing... I lost it suddenly and when I wasn’t trying.

20 lbs in about 2 months. Because I couldn’t eat enough. I’ve lost 60 lbs before through lifestyle change and motivated effort. This was not that.

I got severely ill from autoimmune disease and could only eat an extremely strict version of keto without getting worse, and I often couldn’t get through 2 meals a day. Some of it came off due to adjusting my thyroid meds but most of it was just illness and stress. I still have to eat strictly to be baseline functional.

Now I have a completely different body. I’ve been able to eyeball jeans and fit into them on a guess. Mediums are too large for me. I used to want to be this size. But instead of my working to achieve it as a goal, it was forced on me because I got sick. My legs look bony and weird, my face looks gaunt, I don’t feel like myself.

My one saving grace is everyone’s working from home and nobody has remarked on my weight loss except my mom, who was shocked. I’m shocked myself. Anyone else been through this?
