Late last year fans were shocked when reports emerged that the singer had undergone weight loss surgery.
Now sources close to the megastar have shed light on how she is recovering from the reported gastric sleeve surgery, saying she is now 'happy'.
'She's happy with this new chapter in her life,' a source told Entertainment Tonight.

They said the decision to lose weight via surgery came after years of dieting by the star: 'She always fluctuates and it makes her upset but it's hard for her to manage.'
Mariah previously lost weight following the Jenny Craig diet plan, after the birth of her twins in 2011.
However, gastric sleeve surgery reduces the amount of food allowed into the stomach, making the patient feel fuller faster so that they consume less.
Meanwhile, the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton - the first for late night NBC funnyman Seth Meyers as host -- is not as reliable at predicting Oscars glory as the galas held by Hollywood's acting, producing and directing unions.

But it remains one of the most high-profile and glamorous - not to mention boozy -- events of the awards calendar and tends to generate more headlines for tipsy tributes, daring gowns and wacky tuxedos.
Actors and actresses are however expected to turn out in black this year, in solidarity with victims of Weinstein and numerous other figures exposed by the harassment and abuse scandal, including Kevin Spacey, Brett Ratner and Dustin Hoffman.
Guillermo del Toro's fantasy romance The Shape of Water leads the nominations with seven, while The Post and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri are tied for second, with six each.
Overall, 25 awards are given out - 14 for movies and 11 for TV - and, as usual, the 90-member HFPA has sprung more than a few surprises in the nominations, placing horror satire Get Out in the best comedy-musical category.
There were no nominations at all for female filmmakers despite huge successes in 2017 for Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird), Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman), Dee Rees (Mudbound), Kathryn Bigelow (Detroit) and Sofia Coppola (The Beguiled).
