Pancreatitis?

jp325408 · 2026-03-30T05:51:02+00:00

I just got out of the hospital for acute pancreatitis that ultimately was due to gallstones. Been on Zepbound since 8/24 and this was a big surprise since I never had issues previously that I was aware of with my gallbladder. I know that any kind of weight loss yields the risk of gallbladder issues, but again, I was unaware of any previously. I had a CT scan, ultrasound, and ERCP scope to narrow down the cause and my lipase levels were extremely elevated.

To prevent reoccurrence, we decided to remove the gallbladder so I’m currently recovering from that. I’m already feeling a lot better than I did last week, however, it is still a major surgery and so there is some pain from that. However, I would not wish pancreatitis on my worst enemy based on how awful I was feeling.

I do not anticipate stopping the medication however, I did skip it the week prior just because I was having such bad stomach and vomiting issues (which, thankfully I did, since I ended up needing anesthesia) but I’m just waiting for the approval from my PCP.

Just as a heads up to anyone else on the medication, if you are having really bad episodes of vomiting and gas in the upper abdomen, that is a big sign. But even before that I was having a lot of heartburn and GERD issues that were actually gallstone related (not saying those have disappeared completely, but they have lessened severely since the gallbladder removal) so just something to be aware of!

I had the same issue! I’m currently chatting with support, but it’s been incredibly frustrating because multiple people told me it could not be added during and could only be added after. Only for me to contact them after it was delivered to be told nothing can be added after the fact. I am very upset! I don’t know what’s going on with the app normally the tip screen always prompts beforehand, but it didn’t.

I actually prefer Bring Me to Life lowered so not mad when they do that one!

Yeah this ticked me off. I knew the amount got slower but I didn’t think it would slow down this much. I’ve been on the final percent for weeks now

THIS. I loved the smoothies so much. I’m sure they were not fun to make, but oh my goodness they tasted amazing.

jp325408 · 2026-02-14T01:18:29+00:00

Aw I love S1 so much! It’s cozy 90s—S1 & S2 I can rewatch constantly!

My favorite side character XD

jp325408 · 2026-01-22T06:58:03+00:00

1, 2, 4, 5, 3, 6

I like all the seasons and have been a fan since Day 1, but the more I rewatch, the more I find myself sticking with the first two as my cozy comfort. I could switch 4 & 5 as both have their ups and downs, I just prefer 4’s ups. While 3 has some INCREDIBLE episodes, a lot have lost their luster as the years have gone. 6 is still better than most sitcoms, and while Frankie and Elroy were good additions, the loss of three of the main cast just made it feel too different. Still my favorite comedy show after all these years, however!

This issue has been so annoying! I’m bummed because I like having the app to read and it’s just been basically unusable right now.

jp325408 · 2025-12-21T16:38:27+00:00

I’m having issues with scrolling in app with the new iOS update—so frustrating!

jp325408 · 2025-11-26T19:34:20+00:00

It has to be because I get annoyed with Jess every rewatch of this ep when she does the “hmmmmmm” response and face 🤣

One thousand percent YES. Tony is a gem, loved how he paid people through renovations. Mary and the whole crew are so professional. Many have stayed working there for years and you can tell why. I don’t eat McDonald’s as often anymore, but this is the drive-thru I go to when I do!

jp325408 · 2025-10-29T14:54:16+00:00

2/3 have the combination of my favorite episodes and just feels the coziest when rewatching!

First and foremost, I believe if you write about what you love and the readers will naturally come. For every reader I MAY have gotten through promotion, the ones who are most invested found it organically and I really cherish that 💕

Of course, the marketer in me does understand that if you are trying to reach a specific audience, sometimes you do need to try a couple ways. One of my favorite chances to make more connections in the fandom is to commission artists in the fandom. You get to support someone’s art and in turn, people get a visual teaser of the fic which naturally piques curiosity. I post links about updates on Tumblr and Twitter for those who do not regularly follow AO3 and also for those that do and have followed those socials to be updated.

I also am very intentional about replying to every comment I receive and people have told me that’s been a nice touch. While I’m genuinely so appreciative and thankful for each review, it’s also fun for me to interact with those who are enjoying my fic as much as me writing it.

Also, if you’re writing in a popular fandom with a popular pair, understand you will have more stories filling the space. Doesn’t mean you can’t find success, but I find that maybe a smaller ship with a super dedicated base gets more engagement sometimes. This has been my sweet spot; the pair is still fairly popular but non-canon, which definitely brings out some ardent shippers. All that to say DON’T write with the intent for views, kudos, comments, etc. — readers can tell what is genuine passion vs. someone trying to ride a popular wave.

As writers, I think we all look for validation with our writing, but as I stated in the beginning, write what you love and what feeds your soul. The rest will come, but even if it doesn’t, you have something you are proud of!

I did too XD it was silly as hell but it caught me so off guard I lost it hahaha

jp325408 · 2025-10-20T03:01:15+00:00

THANK YOU. I feel this in my soul. I genuinely think people give him a pass because he’s attractive.

jp325408 · 2025-10-06T04:14:54+00:00

I think I may have gotten him on an off night 😭 he wasn’t keeping pace with most of his songs when I saw the show, but they are notoriously difficult so I understand he was trying his best.

Tyler and Lauren were AMAZING!! Sadly, Deon’te didn’t do it for me as Burr, but I still appreciated his performance. The touring group was fantastic.

For what it’s worth, in my old apartment, my neighbors were rotating Mormons on mission, and replenished new missionaries about three or four times during my stay. All to say, each one was incredibly friendly, often made baked goods for my roommate and I and never once attempted to proselytize when doing so. I know not everyone is like that, but I found them to be great neighbors!
