Back in March of this year, O’Donnell talked about her ‘shocking’ new size after taking the medication; seen in 2024 in L.A. 

‘But [the weight loss] is also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles and I don’t have a chef now. It’s me cooking for [my child] Clay and me.’

The TV personality then recalled how she went to a clothing store in Dublin and revealed she was a size large after previously wearing sizes XL or XXL. 

‘I find it shocking. I really do. I find it completely shocking,’ the mom-of-five expressed. 

Being on Mounjaro has not only aided her in losing weight, but has made her feel ‘healthier’ and she is also ‘sleeping better.’ 

Back in January 2023, O’Donnell explained that she had dropped 10lbs after being on the drug over the holiday season when she was prescribed the medication by her doctor. 

While taking her child to school, the star explained on TikTok: ‘I need to let you know I’ve lost 10lbs since Christmas.’

She added that she has been taking Mounjaro after a fan commented, ”You can’t drop a bomb like that and not tell us HOW???’

Rosie stated, ‘Okay, so like two months ago, my doctor put me on… not Ozempic, Mounjaro? Something like that, and Repath.’

She added, ‘One I do every other week, and one I do once a week. And that and on Christmas, I stopped drinking anything except water. 

‘Now I have had champagne one night, that was a toast, and some wine one night, so it hasn’t been 100% but I really stopped drinking like five or six Diet Coke’s a day.’ 

Rosie now only sticks to drinking water and has reduced her sugar intake while also sharing, ‘And my appetite has decreased significantly.

‘It’s probably the meds, and I’m trying to move more, so all of those things combined, that’s what it is.’ 

Another fan mentioned the high cost of Mounjaro and the actress stated, ‘Yeah you have to have diabetes to get a prescription. That’s what I heard. 

‘People are doing Ozempic parties here in L.A. where they all do Ozempic, but I have diabetes too, so that’s why I’m on it.’ 

O’Donnell suffered a previous health scare when she had a heart attack at the age of 50.

While in the parking lot of a hospital to pick up a friend, the star ended up helping a stranger nearby. 

‘She said ‘Rosie, will you help me up?’ So I went over and I helped her up and it took a lot longer than I expected.

‘I got home and my arms were hurting. I thought, ‘That’s funny, it must’ve been from pushing her up.’ So I went about my business.’ 

The media personality looked up her symptoms but opted to not immediately see a doctor at the time. She then recalled having a heart attack on a Monday but didn’t go to the hospital until two days later. 

Upon seeing a cardiologist, Rosie was told she was having a ‘massive heart attack’ and was rushed to the emergency room. 

‘I was like, ‘Wait, wait, what?!’ I couldn’t believe it. And then I came to find out that the symptoms for a woman having a heart attack are very different than the symptoms for men having heart attacks.’
