MacKenzie McKee Shares 55-Lb Weight Loss In 4 Days
It has been a rough few weeks for Teen Mom star Mackenzie McKee as she was struggling with her pregnancy. The mother of three was expecting twins with her fiancé, Khesanio Hall, and by 30 weeks, it was getting rough. She soon had immense swelling in her ankles and feet, leading her to seek medical help. Unfortunately, the first hospital ignored how much water weight she had put on. Despite being 31 weeks along, the goal was for her to carry the twin girls five more weeks. Mackenzie listened to followers’ advice and got a second opinion. Soon enough, she was having an emergency C-section to get out her babies.
They arrived at around five pounds each and are healthy, but do have to stay in the NICU. However, Mackenzie was soon able to return home, although she has been frequenting the hospital to see her babies. She and Khesanio were able to hold them, and it was very beautiful. Now, Mackenzie, who has always been in incredible shape, is sharing her drastic weight loss. Over four days, she dropped fifty-five pounds and is in incredible shock over this. She showed a side-by-side of her legs and ankles, and it was unreal how different she looked.
In one snap, the Teen Mom star has on compression and hospital socks. The goal was to reduce the swelling and water weight she had put on. On the other side, she showed her legs and ankles now, almost half their size. Mackenzie is also not wearing socks and is baring all, which is hard to believe she is the same person. This further shows that she needed to be taken seriously when she looked for help, and could not be brushed off.
Amazement & Shock
Teen Mom fans who saw Mackenzie McKee’s drastic weight loss could not believe what she had gone through. To think she went to the first hospital and was essentially discarded when something was clearly wrong. Furthermore, things had gotten so out of hand that Mackenzie was wearing XL hospital socks, showing how large her feet and ankles were. Edema, or swelling of the feet and ankles, is common in pregnancy. However, Mackenzie was eventually diagnosed with preeclampsia, which can be very serious. Her followers loved to see how far she had come:
- After my twins I literally lost 50lbs like in a day. Because of my preeclampsia.
- You did phenomenal Mackenzie! I know this pregnancy was hard the last couple of weeks! You did amazing and you have two strong girls!!
- Oh girl you have to feel like a new woman without all that water
- Oh my you was so miserable I could see ir in your eyes
Many had relatable stories about their preeclampsia, while others learned something from Mackenzie. They had been through the same thing, but were dismissed as she initially was.
