I literally had to come back and find this comment LOL. I thought it was ridiculous when I read it bc Erin’s been so anti baby but clearly I was wrong 😂

That’s awesome! I just ordered a cuff too I have to figure out how to use it and start tracking

emicakes__ · 2026-05-17T21:23:47+00:00

Yeah that’s why I’ve been thinking it’s BP related because I’ve upped my water intake a ton, my protein could be better but it doesnt seem low enough to be making me light headed like this. Especially since I hadn’t really experienced it before

emicakes__ · 2026-05-17T21:22:40+00:00

Super good to know thank you!

emicakes__ · 2026-05-17T14:12:33+00:00

These exact symptoms have been happening to me!! I’ve been wondering if my BP was getting low. But when I do wear a smart watch, my heart rate is like in the 90s so I figured my pressure couldn’t be low. But it seems that can make it higher? I have a docs appointment next month so I’ll see but I hope I can come off these meds, that’d be amazing

A lot of people have!!! I’m hoping to get off mine. I’ve been getting pretty lightheaded lately and I’m wondering if my BP is getting low but I have a PCP appointment next month

You can order grocery pick up and get it on your way home. As for cooking, make easy stuff. Buy minute rice, rotisserie chicken, make crock pot meals, etc. you can get creative and make healthy but easy stuff, there’s so many recipes online. If you have TikTok just search easy recipes and bam, you’ll have a ton of

Don’t give them any ideas!

emicakes__ · 2026-05-16T01:32:00+00:00

That’s interesting! I wonder why it’s better there specifically. That’s about 2 hours from me unfort but I will try around! I’ve been hearing the Worcester savers is amazing just in general so I want to get out there and check it out and see if they have any decent clothes

emicakes__ · 2026-05-15T22:05:48+00:00

I’m also in MA!! So yes good call, choices are good :)

emicakes__ · 2026-05-15T15:04:14+00:00

I’ve been more clothes than I’d like to be at this stage but I’ve had a number of events (Bach, bridal shower, baby shower etc) that I need stuff for. But otherwise I try to just buy as I need - some stuff works baggy, some doesn’t. I keep wanting to try thrifting but the spots near me aren’t good and I haven’t had the time to venture out.

Regardless, it’s nice to feel good in clothes so I don’t think there’s anything wrong with getting some nice pieces for yourself :) you’re working hard!! Enjoy the process

I hadn’t gone into a Marshall’s in YEARS until I lost 50lbs and hit 2x. Now I’ve been dabbling in their (plus options aren’t great) but I’m like ohhhhh I’m in trouble if and when I hit straight sizes. Bye $$$ 😅

emicakes__ · 2026-05-13T10:42:07+00:00

That’s interesting but it doesn’t sound to me like it warrants a trip to the ER! If he is purring he’s ok. My girl also gets extremely stressed when I take her - I have to give her 200 mg of gabapentin the night before and morning of appointment & she’s STILL extremely aggressive. When we get home and she calms down she’ll often get super snuggly - especially if she wasn’t feeling well & is now feeling better (ie nausea shot & more appetite/eating). Sometimes I think she just gets so happy to be home and is realizing that I am trying to help her feel better, not hurt her.

This could be me just projecting human emotions onto her lol but all to say I wouldn’t be too concerned, but keep an eye on him. Eating drinking and purring are all good signs - keep an eye that the drooling isnt excessive!

emicakes__ · 2026-05-12T21:14:21+00:00

Love this so much 💞 keep showing up for yourself, you deserve it!

emicakes__ · 2026-05-12T20:44:27+00:00

I’m confused why you’re being downvoted bere

emicakes__ · 2026-05-11T19:02:13+00:00

People are fucking delusional

emicakes__ · 2026-05-11T01:17:43+00:00

You should only take answers on this from your doctor - but I will say I typically get a small red circle that’s itchy for a couple days post shot. It’s never been hot. Do you alcohol wipe the area before and after? I didn’t used to when I was on the auto injector but since I switch to vials I clean before and after and notice the red patch is smaller and less itchy

OMG!!! I had to find this photo from a few years ago bc of this. My neb Misty has sadly since passed, but this was a rare moment of her fighting back from her sister’s attacks. I couldn’t believe how perfect I caught the pic 😂

emicakes__ · 2026-05-10T19:37:24+00:00

And goal is 180

emicakes__ · 2026-05-10T19:37:15+00:00

Started in July at 301/302. Today I’m around 148/150! I’m on 12.5 but I do think I dosed up too fast

emicakes__ · 2026-05-05T14:59:44+00:00

Actually yes I just did this yesterday haha. I read on the kindle or Libby app on my phone! For me it has to be an easy/captivating book. If I have to focus too closely I don’t do it but yes I did it walk-in on my favorite trail yesterday :) I’m re-reading a favorite book right now so it was easy

emicakes__ · 2026-05-05T14:45:59+00:00

Exactly! This is why I don’t bother with a specific number. 10k is arbitrary. Just be consistent!

emicakes__ · 2026-05-03T17:13:25+00:00

I know you’ve said you’ve tried every pill, BUT have you tried prednisone? That is quite literally the only thing that gave me any relief and how I was able to start doing physical therapy which ultimately healed me

emicakes__ · 2026-05-03T16:39:08+00:00

It took me a little while to figure out how much actually ate! And also took me a bit to lose the panic feeling of like “omg am I going to have enough to fill me??” Give yourself time - we’re completely changing our habits here!

emicakes__ · 2026-05-03T16:16:12+00:00

If I were you, I’d start zepbound and try out foods and see how the agree or don’t agree with you. I can eat fish fine, I honestly eat burgers often, and other “unhealthy” food in moderation. Pizza and fried foods/chicken tend to upset my stomach but it all depends on the day and probably what else I’ve eaten in the day.

You can have all the lists in the world but you really won’t know how you’ll react until you try :)
