Why not put crybaby Laura or shar-pei dad in that position? I agree, it's not fair to Mike. He's consistently done well. Why put HIM through that?

Here's that story on octomom's doctor. Don't recall if I originally saw it here or on another site, so if it's a repeat, I apologize: Octo-Mom's Fertility Doctor Implants at Least 7 Embryos in 49-Year-Old Woman

Both are delusional and not able to deal with reality. There, I said it. And it's worth whatever spankin' Mindy is required to give me.

Omg, you're my girl! lol My ex-SIL used to fart as she exited a crowded elevator. Left a little present with them behind closed doors.

Hmmm... I'm guessing hulu can't air it until the original station does, but I don't know that for sure. I was just irked that I could catch The Bachelor the day after it aired but TBL, which I really hated to miss, I hadn't been able to see yet.

Omg, HATE that! I've had those ones where a teeny little one squeaks out and hangs in the room for 30 minutes. NOT fun for people at work!

What Donna said.

She's gonna be a child psychiatrist, yet hers are wild. Riiiiight.

Laura... GAK!

Sorry, yep, NBC. I had checked the right website (just mentioned the wrong one here ), but they didn't have it. And though I haven't checked in the last few days, hulu didn't have last Wednesday's episode either.

Because some people do much better being all talk and no action and cluck-clucking at people who actually point out the idiocy of all of this. And food stamps are NOT welfare?? WTF?? Since WHEN??

I read last week that this same doctor performed another fertility treatment for a lady who was in a similar situation -- no job and multiple embryos (though not as many babies). The guy should be tarred and feathered and run out of town.

Laughing at the baby farts, but SO sad for you about your friend! Omg, I know how you feel. My best friend died in 2003 after lung cancer, 3 months after he was diagnosed. Hardest thing I ever went through. My prayers and cyber hugs are with you, my friend.

Oh no, I hope I didn't sound like I thought anybody here was anti-band. If I did, I apologize and want to clear the air that I never felt that way about ANYbody who is having troubles. If you have problems with it, you have problems. That doesn't make anybody anti-band. Hope I didn't make you feel bad -- but I DO notice how many regulars here have been having troubles with their bands, and it does make me go hmm.

BINGO!!! This is more akin to the manmade Frankenstein monster. Not the babies, the situation. You make happen what never should have in the first place and THIS is what happens.

Okay, then it's probably what I thought -- it's me! :tongue2: So long as I keep reminding myself of this, maybe I won't be so inclined to repeat. It's HORRIBLE and is too similar to my hiatal hernia experiences, which I was glad were over. It's that much harder when you don't know what you're looking for -- am I too full or not full enough, am I eating just right, blah blah blah. lol

Wow, that sucks! I drink a protein drink in the morning since I am never hungry for breakfast. Other than that, I've been working hard to get it the old-fashioned way. However, as time goes on... I may need to rethink that.

I'm so ticked at ABC.com... I missed the Wednesday show last week (and my recorder went pffft), and I've been trying for nearly a week now to find it on their site, but the only one they have is from the week prior!! I haven't even been coming here so as not to have it spoiled for me, but I guess as of tonight all bets are off since I can do the figuring myself.

Yeah, Donna, I've been a bit concerned of all the ones here who have been having problems. It's not like I overlooked those posts before I got banded (I wanted to know the good and the bad), but it just seems like it's quite a few. I feel bad that they are experiencing problems, and then it tends to concern me. I can only hope I will be one of the ones for which this works as it should. If not, I will pay attention to what my other options are, possibly based on what I read from others.

I guess when you put it that way, it makes total sense. :tongue2: At the rate this is going, I won't be able to eat too many proteins.

Apparently. However, I can't read a couple people's posts as they are blocked.

There's no excuse for her to be such a sorry POS where her kids are concerned since she hasn't freakin worked since 1999! She shows constantly what a lousy mother she is. She is an incubator, plain and simple. Beyond that, she doesn't have the common sense of a swamp rat.

I have. I've seen him WASTE over a TRILLION DOLLARS in less than 30 days.

The pork chop the first night did have bbq sauce for dipping. The leftovers had none, but I don't think I'll be doing leftover pork again... ever! The chicken today was a cashew chicken at the local cheap Chinese place. The meat is tender (I'm guessing dark meat, cat, of course, lol) and in a sauce. I wasn't sure if the first few bites I took weren't chewed enough, resulting in my problem. It could be as a coworker and I were talking, and I find I don't do as well this soon since surgery if I am with people and talking during meals. Bread has given NO trouble. What worries me is that I'm tight enough to cause problems, but I don't feel "full" real easy. I don't know if this is normal this early in until I find my sweet spot.

I almost got stuck again today on chicken. Last couple of days my band has seemed tight... or else it's just me. Not pleasant at ALL.
