Rosie O’Donnell revealed she shed 10 pounds since the holidays.
The comedian, 60, took to TikTok on Tuesday to detail how she managed to do it, explaining that she’s taking an appetite suppressant.
However, she clarified that it’s “not Ozempic,” referencing the popular Hollywood weight-loss drug.
“Two months ago, my doctor put me on Mounjaro … and Repatha,” O’Donnell noted. “One I do every other week and one I do once a week.”
The actress further told social media users that, in order for people to get those two medications prescribed, “you have to have diabetes.” She’s been diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2, which is mainly caused by a person’s unhealthy lifestyle and develops over time.
O’Donnell went on to say that she has also changed her liquid intake.
“Christmas I stopped drinking anything except water,” she explained. “I have had champagne one night that was a toast and I had wine one night, so it hasn’t been 100 percent.
“But I really stopped drinking like five or six Diet Cokes a day,” the Daytime Emmy winner continued. “All I drink is water now. And I’m not eating sugar as much as I can.”
Additionally, she explained that her appetite has “decreased significantly” and she doesn’t think about food “at all.”
“It’s like it alters something in your thought process. … It’s weird,” O’Donnell concluded. “So all those things combined, that’s what it is.”
The “SMILF” alum, who suffered a heart attack in 2012, has always been open about her weight struggles.
O’Donnell had a vertical sleeve gastric surgery in 2013 and she told People two years later that she had dropped from 240 pounds to 176.
“That surgery changed my life,” the former “Rosie O’Donnell” show star said in the 2015 interview. “I feel so much freer now in terms of needing to move and play with my kids.”
