After suffering a slew of health effects from the weight loss, she has since struggled with her body and appeared to reveal that she has been plagued by fans and followers with pregnancy speculation ever since.
Captioning her original selfie, she wrote: “I haven’t felt comfortable in a dress in over 3 years but I have found the most incredible clothing boutique ever. Wow, dresses for such a reasonable price!’
Then she was forced to fend off the weight and baby issue.
Sophie previously opened up about her unfortunate decision to have a gastric band in an interview with the Daily Mail. She said: “The surgery works for some people. But for me I wouldn’t have done it if I had known the complications and risks.”
Surgeons could move the band during emergency surgery. The device has stopped working but has not been removed.
After struggling with confidence issues, Sophie gained weight in her late teens.

“I had just passed my driving test, so I could go out in the car and get takeout at McDonald’s drive-thrus,” she said. “Before I knew it, I was eating for the sake of food.”
At 21, she took out a bank loan to pay for the gastric band procedure.
But on top of the slipped band, her dramatic eight-stone weight loss left excess skin on her arms.
Surgery to remove the skin in 2016 resulted in a serious infection, and at times she feared her left arm would have to be amputated.
In her book Hinch Yourself Happy, she said: “I kept having problems with excess skin. It became inflamed and blistered. It was painful.

“If I bought a size 10 or 12 top or jacket from a store, it would fit me anywhere except the arms. I was smaller, but I still couldn’t buy clothes in the size I actually had.
After the skin was removed, she developed an infection on her left arm that caused both arms to “explode to three times her size.”
Sophie wrote: “They had to urgently drain her and bust the IV with antibiotics.
“I ended up staying in the hospital for two weeks and really thought I was going to lose my left arm at some point.”
Sophie has now recovered from the traumatic ordeal and is now a mother Ronnie and Lennie with husband Jamie.
