Mrs. Hinch Reveals Weight Loss After Surgery Fail

has showcased her dramatic in a throwback snap on Instagram on Sunday as she detailed her botched gastric band surgery.  

The cleaning influencer, 36, whose real name is Sophie Hinchliffe, said she regretted having a gastric band fitted when she was 21 as it has given her 'lifelong complications'.

Sharing a before and after snap of her weight loss, Sophie admitted she has always 'struggled' with her weight and has had a 'complicated relationship with food'. 

She wrote: 'I'm 5'10' so I'm tall and honestly, I have struggled to accept my height since I was 16. I've been a size 20 and I've been a size 6. I made a rushed decision to have a gastric band fitted when I was 21.

'And whilst it did its job, it wouldn't be something I'd do over again because of the lifelong complications I've been left with. 

'Regardless of my weight, I've never felt comfortable in my own skin. I pick apart my appearance daily. I also have a complicated relationship with food.

'And compliments? They still make me feel so incredibly awkward.' 

Elsewhere in the candid post, Sophie reflected on how losing her father made her develop a 'fear of time'.

The influencer said she has struggled to set foot in the woodwork workshop at their £1.1million farmhouse in Essex after her father's passing.

Sophie's father, Alan, died suddenly in his sleep on April 25, 2024, a month after he was hospitalised with respiratory issues.

Mrs Hinch said her fear of time has made her worry how long 'we all have left' as she opened up on how losing her dad has changed her as a person.

She wrote: 'I have developed a fear of time. Yes, time. Ever since losing my dad two years ago, I'm convinced my whole nervous system has changed. I'm constantly thinking about how long we all have left. I look at strangers and wonder how they seem so calm when none of us know what's around the corner.

'Grief has taught me that life is short, but I never knew the fear of time could consume me the way it does. Every morning I wake up hoping it's gone, but it's still there'.

Mrs Hinch, who is a proud mum to three boys, went on to explain how she feels 'filled with guilt' she isn't using the woodwork workshop at their home.

The pair had lovingly converted one of the outbuildings on her Essex countryside estate to be a workshop for keen craftsman Alan, before his tragic passing.

She said: 'Losing my dad stripped me of the person I was before. I look back at old photos and barely recognise myself. Even hearing my voice in videos feels like I'm listening to someone else.

'I'm filled with guilt I haven't been able to step foot in our workshop since the day I held his hand for the last time. Everything is exactly as we left it.

'Our project still sits unfinished, Dad's pen and fleece are where he left them. I don't even want the sawdust on the floor to be disturbed. I don't know how to walk back in the and made him proud. And that's something I carry the guilt every single day.'
