What are these plants growing on my banana tree?

Forgive me since I am new to this and don't know what anything is. 🤣 Planted a banana tree recently and its doing amazing but have noticed these smaller leaves coming up and I'm not sure what they are, whether they're apart of the tree or something I should remove?

Any insight would be muchly appreciated!

What kind of plant is this?

Hey ya'll! I'm in central Florida, moved into this house a couple years ago and this plant was already here. Last winter we had two very unheard of days of freezing weather, it along with my banana and two palm trees died. However it came roaring back over the summer, it usually produces some red flowers in the spring that only last a day or two but this is my first time seeing this and it looks way different from its normal flower! I just have no idea what it is! Any help would be appreciated :]

Had to switch from estradiol patches to gel and it made me so sick

Because of the patch shortage I've had to switch to the gel, same dose but it made me feel 'awful'. Chest pain, racing heart and just generally really unwell. I stopped using it and feel better. I've lost 74lbs so far with Zepbound, could weightloss be a factor here or maybe I'm just absorbing more of the gel? I've also had a dramatic increase in pain in the last few months, joint pain and left shoulder flared up worse than its been in years.. I have no idea why. Only thing that changed was that I was off the patches for maybe a couple months. It sucks because I was doing so well before the shortage got me ☹️

I've lost nearly 25% in a years time and thought the medication was beginning to stop working

My weightloss has definitely slowed a bit, going from losing 5-6lbs a month to 3-4 and during June/July I only lost 5lbs in two months. All the while eating considering less, around a 600-700 deficit and my weightloss slowed. Anyways its been a bit frustrating as I still have at least another 100lbs to go. But yesterday I noticed my underwear being a bit baggy, so I got out my tape measure and my eyes bugged out. I'd lost 4 inches in just a few months around my waist. Wild because I feel just as big as I was at my heaviest.. I don't feel smaller or lighter but being 5ft and 224 currently technically I am still very fat. I know it can happen but feels so weird to drop so many inches while not losing much lbs

Only flagged NSFW because I don't like forcing my face on people against their will lol. I guess there's a slight difference in them!

Starting estrogen gel made me feel like I was having heart issues

So I recently had to start the gel after being out of the patches for a couple months because I can't find them anywhere. I was on the 0.05 patch and started the 1mg gel. There are 30 packets and I assumed one pump was one packet? Anyways put a whole packet on and in less than an hour my heart is racing, stuttering and just in general feeling really terrible.. I almost went to the ER for possible heart attack or something. Obviously either I took it wrong and/or this dose is way too much, so now I only use a little bit of the gel after taking several days off from taking it. I am also feeling super bloated. Has anyone else experienced this? It was pretty scary of course.. I miss my patches ☹️

Survival games with dungeons, farming and animals(a bonus)?

As an old WoW player now turned mostly survival gamer, I really loved the caves in Ark. Really love the idea of prepping for a dungeon like experience, finding your way around, fighting enemies, loot, etc! But I also really love farming and the chill side of some survival games too. Off the top of my head I can think of Conan and Runescape.. any other suggestions?

I'm feeling a bit of a frustration that I feel like maybe only you all might get

I'm a year into Zepbound and have lost 73lbs, I'm 5ft tall and started Zep at 298lbs and am currently at 225lbs.  Now this is not me saying that I am not happy and grateful for it, I am!  Especially as a 44 year old woman who's hypothyroid, insulin resistant and in perimenopause... weightloss is so friggin hard

Where I get frustrated is when I talk about it in other groups that people act as if my life has been transformed and now I wear all new clothes, my life has changed drastically.  But the truth is that it hasn't changed in those sorts of ways.  I am still wearing all the same clothes, I am still feeling and 'am' really big.  Yes I can walk a bit more distance with a bit less trouble now but I am nowhere near the stamina of a normal weight person.  I am still morbidly obese and probably still have another 100lbs to go.  I am making great moderate progress but 73lbs on my small frame with my starting weight has and is not a transformative amount of weightloss and that's okay.  Sometimes I just feel a bit pressured to feel all these things about it that I am not feeling.  Anyways some progress pics so far!

Down 73lbs and its weird how much I don't see it!

And starting at a high weight does not help.. I've never lost this much weight before so its a bit of a mind trip. However something is happening because I was able to fit in an X large shirt today(my normal size being a 3-4x).. mind you it was too tight and definitely not my size YET. Plan to take photos of me in it over the next year to see how it possibly changes on me, as I still have at least another 100lbs to go! This medicine is wild, no regrets

My app and machine say everything is fine but having all the symptoms of sleep apnea still

I recently upgraded to a resmed autoset 11 from a 14 year old resmed machine. Everything was fine at first but recently I've started to wake up multiple times at night with a painfully bone dry mouth, sometimes with my heart racing or with a headache. I'm guessing my mouth is open possibly rendering the therapy ineffective? Just wondering why the machine or app isn't picking up on this and is showing me not having events when I wake up feeling terrible. I'm buying some mouth tape to see if it helps but just curious if any of you have dealt with something similar. Also I do not use the humidity because I don't like sleeping with hot air, if that could factor into anything

Do robot farms not work anymore?

So I'm on my 5th playthrough(yes I know I have a problem, the first step is admitting it). I like building robot kill traps essentially around office, labs, etc so they can't bother me and so I can have a steady supply of CPU's. However now everything despawns before I get to it and I don't remember it doing this before. The only difference on this playthrough is that I'm playing it on Xbox gamepass ultimate on my PC instead of Steam. I wanted to do all the cosmetic collecting and achievements again.. yes I know lol. Is this a thing or have I lost my mind or both?

Weird symptom I've dealt with for over a decade. Horrible fatigue all day if I wake up before 10am

This is a strange thing that's been happening to me for a long time, I have no idea if its related to hashi's but figured it was worth to ask if anyone else experiences this! I did have a radioactive iodine procedure back then too if that is revelent at all

Anyways my issue is if I wake up early and stay awake, I will feel awful and exhausted for the entire rest of the day.. no matter how much sleep I had. If I am able to sleep in to around 10 or later I don't feel quite as bad but still tired. My thyroid levels are all normal including T3(on Armour thyroid), its gotten to the point I'm considering seeking an evaluation for ME/CFS because this exhaustion is unrelenting. I can't even do a doctor's appointment virtually without being exhausted afterwards. I wish I knew how to describe it better! I don't even know how to explain it to a doctor to make it make sense

I've really come to love handhelds at my elder age of 44

Sitting at my PC is a lot harder than it was in my 20's lol, chilling in bed has been my favorite way to play lately. Switch 2 and Legion Go S with steamOS. However, games I prefer with keyboard and mouse I still play on PC. My latest obsession has been Abiotic Factor, absolutely stellar game and must play if you're a big half life 1 fan!

Keep getting shocked looking in the mirror

Had to go to a jury summons today, glanced at myself in the mirror while in the bathroom and was momentarily stunned by how much thinner I looked. Mind you, not thin because I am still very much obese but comparatively speaking. I still view myself as I did at 323lbs, my highest weight. I still feel embarrassed about myself being in public, that I look bad, feel bad for making people look at me, etc etc. Its a mind trip to be changing and every once in a while it catches me completely off guard. I never took before photos(because nothing ever worked to lose, so why would this), not really so its even harder to realize I am changing at all. This is the most I've ever lost so my little brain does not know how to process it all lol
