A WOMAN who lost five stone in nine months on fat jabs has admitted there’s a “painful” side effect that no-one warned her about.
Bethany has been taking Mounjaro for almost a year, and has gone from a size 18 down to a size 10.
However, in a video on her TikTok page, she admitted “nobody told” her about one of the things that happens “when you lose a lot of weight”.
Namely, that it’s “actually quite uncomfortable to be skinny”.
Despite spending her “whole adult life wanting nothing but to be skinny”, Bethany had no idea that her bones would end up being “really f**king annoying”.
She said she’s not sure whether or not she has “prominent bones” genetically, or if it’s just because they’d been “so comfortable” in her “larger body” up until this point.
“But I am very, very consciously aware of my bones 24 hours of the day,” Bethany sighed.
Not only can she feel her tailbone “rubbing against the bottom of the bath” whenever she takes a soak, she also finds her bones digging into her mattress when she sleeps, because she does so on her side.
She’s also not a fan of how her “kind of gross” ribcage looks when she lays down flat, or how her knees feel when she “kneels down to get something”.
“I’m really hoping this passes because my bones are actually giving me the ick right now,” she concluded.
“So, that’s fun.”
“Is this just me or is this a thing?” Bethany captioned her video, which has had over 40,000 views on TikTok.

“I have to sleep with the duvet between my knees now,” one sighed.
“All of this! And I’m cold!” another added.
“Sitting on a hard surface?” a third questioned.
“Oh God, yes, my ass hurts all the time now!” someone else replied.
“The toilet seat hurting because there’s no padding,” another complained.
“I thought my mattress was lumpy….nope just my hip bone being there!” someone else admitted.
“I have seen no one else mention this!! So true!” another said.
As someone else said they “can’t sit comfortably, cant lay sideways in bed because my knees and ankles bash together and my sternum feels weird”.
“Yep,” another agreed. “My comfy bed is now trying to harm me, the sofa may as well be made of concrete.
“I’m almost certain there is no actual padding in my desk chair and no one warned me.
“Bones are a 0/10!”
