PHOTOS: Brazilian lady sets tongues wagging with unbelievable transformation after postpartum depression
A Brazilian woman has shared stunning before-and-after photographs of herself after recovering from her traumatic physical appearance.
The 33-year-old, woman identified as Monalisa Moura who weighed 21.9st and struggled with joint problems, has lost 11 stone by overhauling her diet and getting a gastric sleeve.
She told UOL that she had postpartum depression and had tried severally to take her life because she became morbidly obese after her second pregnancy.
Postpartum depression occurs when a woman gives birth. It is characterised by a persistent low mood
“I was never thin as a child. But I became morbidly obese in 2014 after my second pregnancy.
“I had postpartum depression, I tried to (take my own life).
“In short, six months after the birth of my second child, I reached 139kg (more than 29st).”
Determined to make a difference in her life, Monalisa got sleeve gastrectomy surgery to reduce the size of her stomach to about 15% of its original size.
After the surgery, the Brazilian managed to lose a massive 71kg (around 11.2st) in two years by overhauling her diet.
Monalisa, who is now a model, weighs 10.7st and keeps in shape by eating healthily and exercising regularly. She also takes supplements to help burn fat and aid her metabolism.
The model credits her transformation, which she says was difficult, to her strong willpower.
