I had such a glow up that I don’t even recognise old pictures of myself – I’m so glad to have ditched my quadruple chin
CAOIMHE Whyte’s glow-up was so extreme that she “genuinely doesn’t recognise” old pictures of herself.
The mum-of-one shed six and a half stone, lost her “quadruple chin” and went blonde in a bid to “gain her confidence back”.
Now 26-years-old, she says she feels proud of who she used to be as that’s the person who embarked on her glow-up journey to begin with.
Caoimhe, from Ireland, took to TikTok to share her transformation and it left people’s jaws on the floor.
“I genuinely don’t recognise the person in those first clips,” she said. “I can’t believe that was me at one point in my life.
“But I’m so proud of her for getting me where I am now.”
She added that she’s “forever grateful” to her doctor in Turkey who performed her gastric sleeve operation, which was the main driver in her shedding the weight.
People have dubbed Caoimhe’s transformation as the “best glow-up they’ve ever seen”.
“Love the caption,” one woman added. “It’s a thank you to her for finding the strength to lead you to you.”
Once scoffing McDonald’s, Greggs and kebabs, she now opts for kid’s meals at Nando’s and cooks small portions at home.
In another TikTok video, she shared her typical day of food now she is ten months post-op.
It includes two boiled eggs for breakfast, a mini MilkyWay bar, three chicken breast mini fillets with peppers for lunch and two chicken skewers with some tinned potatoes for dinner.
Gastric sleeve surgery can remove up to 85% of your stomach, meaning you are only able to manage smaller portions.
In another video, Caoimhe expressed how happy she was to be rid of her “quadruple chin”.
Alongside her weight loss, the glow-up also saw her grow out her short brunette buzz cut into curly blonde locks.
The difference in looks left some viewers of her video asking, “is that really you?”.
“When I tell you my jaw hit the floor,” one commented. “You look insane.”
“Definitely the best transformation I’ve ever seen,” another said. “You go, Glen Coco!”
“You’re an utter inspiration for so many women,” a third penned. “This is the biggest glow-up I’ve ever seen.”
