I was injured in ~Oct 1 of last year and lost ~11 lbs from that time until Jan 1, 2014. From my recall, I ate very little for the first few weeks after my injury. Then, I ate fast food and other junk a lot until Jan 1.
One other note: I was intentionally eating 3250-3750 cals (and 300+ grams of protein) a day prior to getting injured. I was training to break a powerlifting record, so I was trying to add muscle.
My general thought is that my metabolism was a damned furnace when I got injured. Combined with the lack of eating resulting from the pain of the injury, I lost weight quickly in the first 2-3 weeks. Then I “fluffed” up a bit via fast food and beer in time for Jan 1. Then I cut 20lbs in 7 weeks using nothing other than a treadmill and limiting calorie intake.
I’m down 20 pounds— as of today— since Jan 1

Ah, thanks for the clarification.
