After weight loss surgery, I’ve really noticed changes in my hair.
I’m currently using rosemary oil as part of my hair-care routine to support healthier-looking hair and encourage growth 🌿, alongside ELAVATE Collagen, which I add into my daily routine to support my hair, skin and nails from within.
Consistency is key, so I’m excited to see how my hair progresses over the next few months!

This Wednesday marks ONE WHOLE YEAR since I had my gastric bypass surgery ❤️

I’m now a hair’s breadth away from losing 9 STONE 🤯
And yes… I jumped on the AI photo bandwagon 😂 The truth is, I really don’t have many full-length photos of myself at my biggest. I avoided the camera wherever possible I just don’t do full length photos , so seeing a visual representation of just how far I’ve come feels quite emotional.
I still have a way to go, but I’m in absolutely no rush. My goal has always been to reach my target by two years post-gastric bypass, and I’m happy taking it at my own pace.
Because the biggest wins haven’t just been on the scales. ❤️
🌸I can walk with ease
🌸I can touch my toes
🌸 I can fit comfortably in the bath
🌸 I can buy clothes from most high-street shops now
🌸My blood pressure and cholesterol are now normal
🌸My PCOS symptoms have settled and my periods are regular
🌸I can fit comfortably in an aeroplane seat
🌸I don’t obsess over food as much anymore
🌸I have much better self-esteem and respect for myself
🌸I have so much more energy for everyday life
🌸 I feel more confident travelling, going out and trying new things
🌸 Everyday tasks that once felt difficult are becoming completely normal again
Nearly 9 stone gone in a year — but what I’ve gained in confidence, mobility and quality of life means so much more than the number on the scales.
One year down, a lifetime ahead. ❤️

First weigh-in since holiday... and only 4lb up! 🙌
Over the moon! 🌞🍹 I enjoyed every single day, drank the cocktails, made amazing memories, and it was 100% worth it.
Now it's back to my normal routine, good food, and getting those workouts in. Balance is everything. 💪✨
