\u201cI started having sulfur, eggy, rotten food-like burps after 12 weeks. They didn’t have any pattern, so it just happened randomly, no matter what I ate. I remember them being really warm in my throat, and the smell was horrendous.<\/p>\n
\u201cUsually people would think that I’d passed wind \u2013 and weirdly that was less embarrassing to admit! At New Year’s, someone noticed [the smell] \u2013 but I just blamed it on the guys in the house farting, and they believed me as they smelt so bad.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would blame other people or just comment on the smell as though I wondered who had done it. I kept it quite private [during my weight loss] as it was really embarrassing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hannah, who worked with the weight loss program Juniper, also experienced constipation and dizzy spells, but kept a close eye on what she was consuming throughout her weight loss.<\/p>\n
She said: “I knew some of the side effects might occur from the information Juniper had provided me with. If I experienced something that I hadn\u2019t read or seen online, my health coach provided me with tips and information on what was happening, which I really liked.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never felt worried about the side effects I was experiencing. I was aware of the [potential] sulphur burps, so when they started, I didn’t panic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hannah was a size 24 when she started taking Mounjaro and \u201cunbelievably unhappy\u201d with how she looked. She said, \u201cI’ve always been focused on body confidence and not being ashamed of how I looked, but so many more external factors started to nag in my head.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had lower back pain, and regardless of so many scans and doctors’ appointments to find a root cause, it all fell down to my weight, and the deterioration of my muscles not being able to support my weight. It was a really big shock to the system.<\/p>\n
\u201cI went on the holiday with my mum and I don’t have any photos of myself enjoying it, because I hated having photos taken \u2013 I still regret that, but my body confidence was shot and my mental health with it too.\u201d<\/p>\n

She eased her way into the medication, starting on a low dose and building up, and has seen incredible results. Despite any strange side effects, Hannah says it has all been well worth it.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cThankfully, I didn’t experience the really bad side effects that some people experience, such as sickness, which I’m grateful for \u2013 but I think that even if I did, I would still recommend it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI actually recommended it to my partner, and he started taking the medication and has successfully lost weight, and he’s experienced absolutely no side effects.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve lost 40 cm off my waist and feel amazing now. I constantly take photographs of myself and send them to my mum to show her how good I look in my new outfits.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also just booked a beach holiday so I can wear a bikini and get great photos of myself and how much I’ve lost. I’m not ashamed to look in the mirror, or try on clothes in a shop [anymore]. But it has been a learning curve, no longer seeing myself in a big body and shrouding myself in large clothes to hide myself.<\/p>\n
\u201cI still find it challenging to wear fitted clothes, but when I do, people notice and compliment me, and it makes me feel amazing \u00ad\u2013 and worth all the money I spent and the side effects I experienced.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hannah Metcalfe was unhappy when her weight crept up to 16st 7lb so tried weight loss drug Mounjaro…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":198140,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4315],"tags":[34626,105,6513,4326,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-198139","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-medication","8":"tag-dieting-and-weight-loss","9":"tag-health","10":"tag-health-and-fitness","11":"tag-medication","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114712141410791428","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=198139"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198139\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/198140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=198139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=198139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
