Tiffany Franco Weight Loss: '90 Day Fiance' Star After Surgery

Looking good! 90 Day Fiancé star Tiffany Franco has dropped an astonishing 87 pounds after undergoing weight loss surgery.

“I do remember that she was broken. I remember that she allowed people to walk all over her and spit in her face,” she shared via Instagram in July 2023 when recalling life at her heaviest weight of 297 pounds. “I remember that girl didn’t believe she deserved more than lies and false promises. She didn’t deserve more then paying every last penny, towards fixing someone else’s life while watching hers fall apart [sic].”

She went on to say that she didn’t feel she “deserved more than watching someone lie to her, and still allowing it, because it was better than being alone, and not loved.”

The TLC star told In Touch exclusively in December 2021 that she “felt amazing” after losing the weight.

“I just drink protein shakes. I try to get 60 to 70 grams of protein a day,” Tiffany, explained about her lifestyle changes post-surgery, noting that she is focusing on her health and wellness at this time. “I try to get in as much fluid as possible. Water is best! And most importantly my vitamins!! Taking tons of vitamins.”

In June 2021, the TV personality told fans she opted to get a gastric sleeve procedure to take a “step toward a happier and healthier me.” Tiffany said she had previously taken a break from her fitness journey amid the coronavirus pandemic and relationship drama with her estranged husband, Ronald Smith. The reality TV couple had an on-off marriage for nearly four years until they confirmed they had split for good on the 90 Day: The Single Life season 3 tell-all in December 2022.

Prior to her decision to go under the knife, the New Jersey native was exercising and dieting to get to her goal weight following the birth of her and Ronald’s daughter, Carley Rose, in July 2019.

In January 2020, the 90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined alum gave fans a glimpse at her physique in a throwback photo taken shortly after she gave birth to her daughter. At the time, she also posted a new portrait alongside it to illustrate her progress.

When one of her followers threw shade, the reality star fired back with a heartfelt message about the importance of self-love.

“How does it make you feel when I say I’m in love with me? And that I enjoy myself and looking at myself?” Tiffany replied, garnering support from her fans. “Does it cause you to feel angry? If it does you probably hate yourself and have a deep desire to love yourself. However, I advise you to not project that onto me. What you feel towards yourself has nothing to do with me.”

In February 2021, Tiffany spilled tea about her weight loss journey. “I’m so, so, so excited to start sharing my progress with you guys and how far I’ve come on my feel good journey,” she wrote on Instagram. “I shared a couple things; some are still a secret but one thing that I CAN share and I’m so grateful I’ve found is my @teamiblends 30-day detox. This has truly made me feel on track with my fitness and wellness goals, even just keeping me accountable sometimes.”

By July 2022, the TLC personality shared her future plans when it comes to altering her physical appearance.

“I’ve lost 80 [pounds] and I’m 18 lbs away from my goal weight,” the mom of two wrote via her Instagram Story in a Q&A with fans. “But then I want a nip and tuck.”

Adding that she’s also considering brachioplasty, a breast lift, tummy tuck and thigh liposuction, the Maryland resident continued, “Thinking about all of these because the BEST surgeon is in my area and makes me ENVY his patients’ results haha.”

Going Under the Knife

Fans were convinced the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star underwent weight loss surgery on June 15, 2021, when she shared a cryptic, now-deleted video before going into the hospital. On June 27, Tiffany confirmed the rumors were true while sharing an update via Instagram Live.

“I did have a gastric sleeve, meaning they cut off 70 percent of my stomach inside,” Tiffany said. “I did it for my health and my happiness. Nothing to do with skinny, fat, whatever. I’m happy with however I look always, but to lose weight for the benefit of my health, it’s going to make me happy.”

Post-Surgery Update

Following her surgery, Tiffany said in a July 9 Instagram Live video that she was “trying to balance out the Vitamin situation,” adding that a bariatric multivitamin she took made her “puke.” Tiffany added that she was “taking is super easy” and “allowed to eat soft foods now,” but was mostly “sticking to soups.” The reality star mentioned that she “tried to eat a small little piece of chicken the other day,” but said that “when I swallowed it, I was like, ‘I’m going to die.'”

Stunning

Tiffany wore a skin-tight pleather bodysuit as part of her cat costume for Halloween 2021. Fans couldn’t get over her new look, as she looked as as fabulous as ever.

“Gorgeous before, gorgeous now. You look super happy though!!” one fan commented. Another wrote, “Wow u look amazing, u always did.”

Ready for Spring!

Tiffany looked so pretty in this floral, off-the-shoulder dress.

“If I should doubt myself / If I’m losing ground / I won’t turn to someone else / They’d only let me down / When I wanted you to share my life / I had no doubt in my mind / And it’s been you, woman / Right down the line,” she captioned the March 15, 2022, snap with lyrics to Gerry Rafferty‘s song “Right Down the Line.”

Weight Loss Update

In May 2022, Tiffany revealed she was “almost 80 pounds down” since starting her gastric surgery journey.

“Learning to love all the parts of me I used to be so mean to,” she captioned a video of her showing off her progress at the time. “This year has taught me that your weight should not define your confidence I was not perfect then and I’m not perfect now. If you can learn to love all the parts of yourself that you fixate on and try to fix or make perfect you’ll realized you smile and smell the roses so much more. #stilllearning.”
