Kenyan actress and content creator Jackie Matubia has finally taken to her socials to talk about her recent weight loss procedure.

Last week the mother of two shared that she had undergone a procedure (that at the moment she refrained from revealing) that would help her lose weight while she still breastfed.

Well, today she revealed that she had undergone a gastric balloon bypass and in the 4 days that she had had it, she had already shed a tremendous amount of weight.

"Today I want to give you a small story about my weight loss journey... it has barely been a week and I have lost almost 6kgs," Jackie revealed.

Sharing a video of how the whole process went and showcasing how the balloon is meant to look like in one's stomach Jackie captioned the first video, "This was last Thursday when I went in for my allurion gastric balloon."

She then shared a video of her swallowing the balloon with a long string (that the doctor held) sticking out of her mouth.

The new mom went on to add, "I was so scared but it was not that bad. 

And just like that, it was done... However, after this, you have 3 days of feeling nauseated and a little bit of vomiting. Most importantly hydrate, hydrate! Especially through IV!"

The mother of two delivered her second child two months ago, little baby D, and well it seems sweating and losing breath trying to lift weights and jogging isn't her ideal cup of tea.

She had promised to hit the gym to lose weight after someone online called her a beast due to her recent weight gain. 

Now it seems she wants things done faster and seamlessly as her resolve has died a little too fast.

Following the taunting by the keyboard warrior, she took to her socials to write, "Someone called me a beast because of my current weight...we'll work out like one and fight like one ask my friends 😅😅... Good morning have you worked out today?"
