Former socialite Risper Faith has shared her six-month weight loss results, and netizens cannot keep calm.
In the clips posted on her Instagram page, the mother of one fearlessly presented her before and after videos that showed her massive weight loss.
Before deciding to work on her health, the former Nairobi Diaries actress explained that she ingested any and everything, hence the crazy weight gain.
"This is a little motivational video for someone who wants to lose weight. This is me last year, I was eating all sorts of junk. If my baby doesn't finish his food, I eat it; visitors leave food on their plates, I eat it; food left in the sufuria, I eat. Every type of junk was getting into my body. I just sat down one day and vowed to change my life," she said.
Risper went on to advise her fans against believing everything they see on social media, explaining that she often wore a waist trainer and used Photoshop on her pictures so that no one would make fun of her weight.
"Also, let me tell you something, everything you see on social media is not real. We used to wear waist trainers and Photoshop our pictures like crazy so that we look smart and you don't make fun of us, but this is the real deal. This is the behind-the-scenes," she added.
The bubbly social media influencer opted for gastric sleeve surgery, a procedure that "restricts your food intake, which leads to weight loss. You may lose from 40-60 kgs. It's done as a laparoscopic surgery, with small incisions in the upper abdomen. Most of the left part of the stomach is removed. The remaining stomach is then a narrow tube called a sleeve."
Unlike her failed liposuction procedure, the gastric sleeve surgery proved to work for Risper.
According to the mother of one, the procedure has changed her life for the better, and even though she is currently left with loose skin and stretch marks, she is totally unbothered as she is healthier and happier now.
"I went and got a gastric sleeve, and six months down the line, this is me. I have really changed my life. My behind has reduced, but I am very happy. Nowadays, I sleep so well, I am so happy, I am very confident. Even though I have loose skin and stretch marks, I don't care, I am at my happiest. If you want to lose weight, please get a gastric sleeve because it is permanent. You will never get fat in your whole life. You will remain young, sweet 16, even though you are 50," she went on.
