Kelly is currently on 10mg of Mounjaro a week, but she said it wasn't working as it was supposed to.
She said the drug had stopped suppressing her appetite but that all food now tasted horrible so she was struggling to eat.
Sharing a clip of what she consumed in a day, Kelly started with a peppermint tea.
She revealed she needed it to help soothe the side effects of having a takeaway the night before while on Mounjaro.
She then had a small portion of spaghetti bolognese she had made which was the only thing she managed to eat that day.
After her lunch, Kelly had a snack which consisted of sushi and a pepperami snack box and an iced coffee.
But as soon as the food touched her lips she grimaced and couldn't stand the taste of it.
After her failed lunch, Kelly tried to eat a protein bar and strawberries but was again put off by the taste.
"This was also disgusting and I was just over it all," she penned.
When she went home, Kelly made a bowl of cheesy pasta, but as soon as she made it, she couldn't bring herself to eat it.
I've lost nearly 6 stone in 9 months on fat jabs - trolls call me 'lazy' & say it's the 'easy way out' but I don't care
She left over half, adding that she should have just 'ordered a pizza'.
"I feel like this is the side of Mounjaro people don't see!" she captioned the post.
"I'm starving but don't fancy anything!! It is such a struggle! I might actually come off Mounjaro at this point!"
She went on to explain that the drug hadn't suppressed her appetite but had made her taste buds change.
She added: "I don't think people understand my situation, I don't have suppression, I'm not not eating food because of my dose, the Mounjaro has changed my taste buds.
"I AM HUNGRY and I am able to eat how I used to - I just have different tastes now but I can't stomach anything."
The clip has gone viral on her TikTok account @keprazy with over 214k views and 2,400 likes.
People were quick to share their own experiences in the comments.
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.
One person wrote: "I came off weight loss injections after having lost 3st on them and lost a further 4st... My appetite was forever changed."
Another commented: "I can't eat eggs, dairy, meat and fried foods now!"
"Omg this!! I do have the suppression, but even when I feel hungry I can't like any food," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "Everything tastes so ordinary now."
"Yes Mounjaro has definitely changed what foods I used to like,' claimed a fifth
Someone else added: "I was the same! Could eat takeaway all day long but couldn't eat anything normal."

I'm a food pro – 4 common BBQ mistakes can give you food poisoning in hot weather & you need to be careful with coleslaw
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE hot weather means more and more Brits are opting to grill their dinner outdoors. However, be careful not to make these common mistakes that can result in food poisoning. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Food experts have warned against making a common mistake when cooking outdoors this summer (stock image) Credit: Alamy Whether you're enjoying quiet summer barbecue or grilling up a storm for all your friends and family, be careful when preparing your al fresco meal. When it comes to outdoor cooking in these hot conditions, you need to take extra precautions. Certain foods can quickly become dangerous when exposed to the high temperatures and sunlight for too long. "Most people don't realise how quickly warm weather turns food dangerous," Mark McShane, food hygiene expert at Food Hygiene Certificate, told the Express. Read More On BBQs BEAT THE HEAT Hot weather mistakes that could land you with a £5,000 fine Chicken, sausages, and burgers "In 30 degree Celsius plus heat, chicken left out for just 30 minutes can begin developing unsafe levels of bacteria – and no, cooking it won't always kill everything," he explained. He went on to say that taking chicken and burgers out of the fridge and leaving them by the barbecue for over too long before cooking places the meat in a "danger zone". According to the expert, the maximum amount of time meat should stay out of the fridge when the weather is between 25 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius is an hour. And when temperatures spike over 30 degrees Celsius, the maximum time is cut in half to just 30 minutes. "We see a spike in food poisoning every time there's a UK heatwave – and it's nearly always avoidable," he explained. "You can't 'see' or 'smell' these bacteria, but they'll ruin your weekend. The 2C method which stops flies plaguing your home and ruining your BBQ "Cook safely, chill properly and when in doubt, throw it out." He added that charred doesn't mean cooked when it comes to grilling up your barbecue staples. This is especially important to remember with chicken, sausages, and burgers. Meat should be cut through to ensure it is safe to eat and if they are pink or the juice isn't clear, that's your sign to put them back on the grill. Coleslaw The expert also warned Brits about another popular barbecue staple – colelsaw. Government advice on BBQ safety The UK Government have issued some guidelines for staying safe whilst using a barbecue: Keep a bucket of water, sand or a garden hose nearby for emergencies. Follow the safety instructions provided with your gas, charcoal, or disposable barbecue. Never use a barbecue indoors, in a tent, under an awning or in a caravan. Use enough charcoal to cover the base of the barbecue, but not more (normally around 5cms or 2 inches). Keep children, pets and garden games away from the cooking area. After cooking, make sure the barbecue is cool before moving it. Empty ashes onto bare garden soil, not into dustbins or wheelie bins. If they're hot, they can melt the plastic and cause a fire. Make sure your barbecue is well away from sheds, fences, trees, shrubs or garden waste. In the countryside or public park areas, only use disposable barbecues where there are specially designated areas and carefully follow the safety guidance. Enjoy yourself, but don't drink too much alcohol if you are in charge of the barbecue. Never use petrol or paraffin to start or revive your barbecue; use only recognised lighters or starter fuels on cold coals. He revealed that sides made with mayonnaise or dairy "can quickly turn dangerous" if left in the sun. You should also be aware of the dangers of cross-contamination, which the pro said is the most common mistake. Avoid using the same tongs or chopping food for raw and cooked meat as this can cause salmonella infections. More BBQ stories And if you're planning to host a barbecue get together on a smaller balcony, make sure to heed this warning. Another little-known danger could also pose a risk when barbecuing this summer. And barbecue fans can pick up a "no-frills" charcoal grill for just £11 from Argos.
