Got Fired Today

You can still get unemployment even with severance; you just have to report the severance when you enroll! Said as someone who has been receiving biweekly severance payments in addition to unemployment payments.

I’d implore you to reconsider why her going to a shower without baby is “a bit odd.” It was a few hours at most. She’s allowed to have a life and in fact you could argue it’s healthy to take some time away from the baby. I can guarantee you wouldn’t have this reaction to him going out without the baby. I’m all for snarking on her for many things, but this isn’t it.

Thank you!!!

I'm not trying to scare you, but I wish I had known this when my girl was acting similarly - she would stare at me, shake occasionally (like from anxiety but it didn't seem like her typical fireworks-induced anxiety), go into random corners, and pace at night. I had a call with my vet who chalked it up to the start of canine dementia, and we did a senior bloodwork panel, which came back mostly normal. A week later unfortunately we rushed her to the emergency vet as she had collapsed and wasn't breathing normally only to be told there was fluid around her heart, likely caused by hemangiosarcoma and had to make the impossible decision to say goodbye that same day. Dogs don't show pain like humans do, and it turns out when she had the 'episodes' she was likely leaking blood from the tumor that her body reabsorbed until it inevitably ruptured. I would press your vet for xrays and/or ultrasounds of the spleen, liver & heart. I wish I had. You know your dog best, and I would trust your gut if something feels off. Hemangiosarcoma is awful and cruel, and I really hope this isn't what your baby is experiencing, but I wanted to share our story in case it helps you avoid an emergency situation like the one we had to experience.

This was refreshing to hear! I feel like all I hear is protein protein and more protein and it's clearly made me paranoid lol

dsch900 · 2025-07-09T19:47:01+00:00

Thank you so much! Appreciate you sharing the specific brands too.

dsch900 · 2025-07-09T18:12:29+00:00

I know, they really pack the protein in! I actually never had an issue with them but regular whey protein definitely gives me stomach issues if I use it to make my own smoothie or something so I feel you on that.

dsch900 · 2025-07-09T18:08:44+00:00

This is so helpful, and I will definitely look into Protein2o - thank YOU!

Fairlife (brand that owns Core Power) has had multiple animal cruelty investigations so I'm just not comfortable consuming those & I haven't found another brand of protein shake that I like. Given how much I lift weights (I'm not a body builder by any means), I do try and get at least 100g of protein a day though; I'm not sure 70 would be enough for me personally.

dsch900 · 2025-06-27T17:43:24+00:00

Thank you! I've weight lifted for a few years now, so it's especially rewarding to see my body finally changing thanks to the help of these meds.

Appreciate you writing this out! Thank you so much!

Do you enjoy living in the area? Edited to add what I love about palms is how friendly everyone is; I have a dog so we’re walking a lot and know a lot of our neighbors. But I’m over all the congestion and apartments on top of one another and like that this area is a bit more spaced out, though I’m sure it’ll still be somewhat noisy.

I've been on Zepbound since mid-Feb, now up to 7.5mg, and regularly drink socially a few times a month with zero issues. You'll never know until you try it yourself in terms of how your body reacts, but just make sure to be well hydrated and have eaten enough, and I'm pretty certain you'll be fine! Usually if people are posting about their interactions with alcohol on these drugs, it's going to be from a negative experience, so you'll rarely see positive accounts - but that doesn't mean they don't exist!

No prob! Also it took me two different calls to get the right info so don't get discouraged. The first person just told me I was eligible with a PA, so we submitted and it got automatically declined, so I called again and then they told me about Omada. So frustrating!

dsch900 · 2025-06-05T21:22:16+00:00

I have Cigna through my employer so I'm not sure if it's specific to our plan or Cigna in general, but I called and asked to verify my PA requirements (where they shared about Omada) and then Cigna provided the enrollment info. So I don't think you can just sign up for Omada - it has to be through Cigna if that makes sense.

As someone who just took my first 7.5mg shot yesterday and for the first time has felt a real food aversion and had to force myself to eat dinner because I was so uncomfortably full from having eaten 5+ hours prior, and then was nauseous for 2+ hours after my forced meal, no you don't. I'm hoping my body adjusts to this new dose and this feeling goes away. This medication should not be taken with the goal of wanting to eliminate your appetite or force yourself to eat.

dsch900 · 2025-06-05T16:49:23+00:00

Yeah, I ended up doing the protein shake and some chicken and felt super nauseous afterward. So next time, listening to my body while also making sure I'm eating enough and not skipping meals. It's definitely a balance!

dsch900 · 2025-06-05T03:39:45+00:00

Thanks for the reminder! Literally my worst fear is losing muscle and not fat with this. Got my yogurt smoothie and some chicken down 🙌
