Camilla had managed to shed almost half of her weight Credit: tiktok/@ 4 Mounjaro is typically used to treat type 2 diabetes Credit: Getty Mounjaro - which is regarded by some as the King Kong of weight loss jabs - by suppressing your appetite, making you feel fuller for longer. The injections, which are administered every seven days, are licensed for patients with type 2 diabetes. They are also available to assist those who are clinically obese (with a Body Mass Index of 30 or over). The drugs, which have been widely regarded as 'fat jabs', can be prescribed by a practitioner - such as a doctor, nurse or a pharmacist-independent prescriber. Since first taking the viral fat jab more than a year ago, Camilla, 30, has shed an incredible 10.5 stone - but it hasn't been an easy process. Speaking in a video shared with her 152,000 TikTok followers, the Essex mum explained that she'd love to have had a heads up of the side effect she found most uncomfortable. She said: ''This is what I would tell myself, if I could go back in time and talk to myself before I took that first dose. ''The very first thing I would tell myself, if I was about to start is, 'Oh my gosh, girl, this is about to change your life. You've finally found something that is going to work and is going to make you the happiest, healthiest version of yourself possible'. ''And the second thing I would tell myself is, 'You need to get yourself a package of prunes and eat prunes every single day', because the number one, worst side effect for me was constipation,'' Camilla shared in the clip. Camilla, who is a full-time content creator and a mum to two adorable girls, Rosie and Bella, added that she had even eaten unpeeled kiwis in a desperate bid to get her bowels moving. I lost half a stone eating cold chips She said: ''I tried everything. I don't know if you saw the video where I ate a couple of kiwis with the skin on that was not a pleasant experience. ''And then I had a very violent experience afterwards. ''Prunes keep me regular. If I need a very good clear out, this sounds disgusting, but it's factual, if I need a very good clear out, I will have maybe seven to 10 of these are the best thing for me for constipation.'' Prunes, often found in muesli and rich fruit cakes, have long been heralded for their laxative properties. Everything you need to know about fat jabs Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases. Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK. Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market. Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year. How do they work? The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight. They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients' sugar levels are too high. Can I get them? NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics. Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure. GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss. Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk. Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health. Are there any risks? Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild. Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea. Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at said: 'One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.' Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia. Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients' mental health. Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines. The purple snack - dried plums - are high in fibre which helps to bulk out stools, making them softer and easier to pass. What's more, the sweet treat is also rich in a natural fruit sugar called sorbitol which draws water into the gut. If you're on fat jabs and are struggling with regular bowel movement, prunes are an easy way to get things moving, easily accessible and affordable, with a packet costing a mere £1.60 at Sainsbury's. The mum-of-two also shared more advice, and confided that she had lost ''half'' of her beautiful tresses, which is a common - but not official - side effect of the popular jab. She said: ''My hair was so thick before, but also that experience was like shedding a lot of my old self, and I had to let go of a lot of my old self to find my new self, which I'm so much happier with.'' She added that after speaking to the experts at Voy, who facilitate her jabs, she was told it's normal and related to dietary change. ''Hair loss will eventually stop with this kind of weight loss related hair loss, but it is something that we just have to accept,'' the mum said. ''Sometimes we're shedding the old versions of ourselves, but also it can be like an indication towards your diet.'' What are the other side effects of weight loss jabs? Like any medication, weight loss jabs can have side effects. Common side effects of injections such as Ozempic include: Nausea: This is the most commonly reported side effect, especially when first starting the medication. It often decreases over time as your body adjusts. Vomiting: Can occur, often in conjunction with nausea. Diarrhea: Some people experience gastrointestinal upset. Constipation: Some individuals may also experience constipation. Stomach pain or discomfort: Some people may experience abdominal pain or discomfort. Reduced appetite: This is often a desired effect for people using Ozempic for weight loss. Indigestion: Can cause a feeling of bloating or discomfort after eating. Serious side effects can also include: Pancreatitis: In rare cases, Ozempic may increase the risk of inflammation of the pancreas, known as pancreatitis, which can cause severe stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting. Kidney problems: There have been reports of kidney issues, including kidney failure, though this is uncommon. Thyroid tumors: There's a potential increased risk of thyroid cancer, although this risk is based on animal studies. It is not confirmed in humans, but people with a history of thyroid cancer should avoid Ozempic. Vision problems: Rapid changes in blood sugar levels may affect vision, and some people have reported blurry vision when taking Ozempic. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar): Especially if used with other medications like sulfonylureas or insulin. Camilla rounded off the informative video by shutting down trolls who say that losing weight doesn't equate to happiness, and her goal is to be healthy for the sake of her family, rather than being ''skinny''. She said: ''I will say personal experience losing weight has made me so much happier. It has changed so many aspects of my life. ''Being 25 and nearly 25 and a half stone definitely had an impact not only on my immediate family, like my husband and my children, but also my parents. ''They worried constantly about me. My friends worried constantly about me, not because of how I looked, but because of how I felt, and how it was affecting the inside of, like, my soul, but also my body. ''I was really hands down the best thing [I've ever done] for myself, best decision I've made for me, my body and my life.'' 4 Be aware of the dangers Those debating whether to start using Mounjaro should know that it can have fatal consequences. And experts and NHS medics have shared a stern warning about the dangers of taking such medications without a prescription. Sun GP Dr Zoe Williams acknowledged that Mounjaro, which could soon be rolled out on the NHS, can save the lives of people with 'life-threatening levels of obesity.' But despite this, the NHS advised people to 'never take an anti-obesity medicine if it has not been prescribed to you.' The NHS warned: "These types of medicines may not be safe for you and can cause serious side effects.' Following the death of a man from Burton upon Trent, Staffs, who died after taking Mounjaro, his family are now calling for a probe into the jab's "potential to kill."

Mother-of-two who lost 10.5 stone on Mounjaro shares the £1.60 hack which supercharged her transformation
A mother-of-two who shed nearly half her bodyweight using weight loss jabs has shared the one piece of advice she wish she knew when she began her health overhaul. Camilla Do Rosario, who weighed 25-and-a-half stone (158 kg) at her heaviest, was reflecting on what she would advise herself before taking her first jab in April 2024—and it could help other jabbers experiencing similar symptoms. Since taking Mounjaro, she has shed an incredible 10-and-a-half stone (66kg). Speaking in a video shared with her 152,000 TikTok followers, the 30-year-old Essex mum explained that she'd love to have had a heads up of the side effect she found most uncomfortable. She said: 'This is what I would tell myself, if I could go back in time and talk to myself before I took that first dose. 'The very first thing I would tell myself, if I was about to start is, "oh my gosh, girl, this is about to change your life. You've finally found something that is going to work and is going to make you the happiest, healthiest version of yourself possible". 'And the second thing I would tell myself is "you need to get yourself a package of prunes and eat prunes every single day", because the number one, worst side effect for me was constipation.' Camilla, who is a full-time content creator posting about married life and her two little girls, Rosie and Bella, added that she had even eaten unpeeled kiwis in a bid to get her bowels moving. She said: 'I tried everything. I don't know if you saw the video where I ate a couple of kiwis with the skin on that was not a pleasant experience. And then I had a very violent experience afterwards. 'Prunes keep me regular. If I need a very good clear out, this sounds disgusting, but it's factual, if I need a very good clear out, I will have maybe seven to 10 of these are the best thing for me for constipation.' Prunes have long been heralded for their laxative properties. The purple treats—dried plums—are high in fibre which helps to bulk out stools, making them softer and easier to pass. It's also rich in a natural fruit sugar called sorbitol which draws water into the gut. Furthermore, they're a natural remedy, easily accessible and affordable, with a packet costing just £1.60 at Sainsbury's. Camilla also shared more advice, and confided that she had lost 'half' of her hair, a common—but not official—side effect of the medication. She continued: 'The next thing I would talk to myself about is hair loss. '"Camilla, you are going to lose hair". That's what I would say. "You are going to lose probably half of your hair". 'My hair was so thick before, but also that experience was like shedding a lot of my old self, and I had to let go of a lot of my old self to find my new self, which I'm so much happier with.' She added that after speaking to the team at Voy, who facilitate her jabs, she was told it's normal and related to dietary changes, echoing the information shared with the MailOnline by a doctor just last week. 'Hair loss will eventually stop with this kind of weight loss related hair loss, but it is something that we just have to accept. Sometimes we're shedding the old versions of ourselves, but also it can be like an indication towards your diet,' she said. Camilla rounded off by shutting down naysayers who say that losing weight doesn't equate to happiness, and her goal is to be healthy for the sake of her family, rather than being 'skinny'. She said: 'I will say personal experience losing weight has made me so much happier. It has changed so many aspects of my life.

'I was really hands down the best thing [I've ever done] for myself, best decision I've made for me, my body and my life.' In December it was reported that more than 1.6 million Britons are set to get the 'King Kong' of fat jabs on the NHS over the next 12 years. Before 2027, the jabs could be given to almost a quarter of a million people with a BMI of 40 or more, plus three health conditions linked to excess weight – including heart disease, high blood pressure or obstructive sleep apnoea. Mounjaro, which costs £122 a month, is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist, a family of medications that help manage blood sugar. Other GLP-1 agonists include semaglutide – sold under the brand names Wegovy, Ozempic and Rybelsus. It is estimated that there .
