Mama June’s hot new look: I’ve lost half my weight

She's had radical surgery

Honey Boo Boo’s notorious mother, Mama June Shannon, says she has lost half her weight, after finally being given the go ahead to have a large amount of excess skin surgically removed.

The reality TV star, who lost a large amount of weight via gastric bypass, had initially been told she was still too heavy to have her saggy skin removed. But after dieting, she was given the OK for the radical operation.

‘I got the gastric sleeve & skin removal surgery”’ she proudly told Radar Online in an exclusive interview.

‘I haven’t ate a lot of pasta, no fried foods and baked goods stuff like that,’ she explained of how she finally got the go-ahead for the op. ‘I’m not perfect, but I do give it my 100 per cent. Trust me, I’m not eating salads all the time! We do live in the South!’

The controversial mum insists that she’s now literally half the woman she used to be.

‘I’ve lost at least half of my body’ she told the site. ‘People said yeah that I look good.

‘Before, I used to be told you couldn’t tell when I lost weight. But now I know I’m the s****  and you cant tell me nothing!’
