Octuplets and SIX other children??!!!



Recommended Posts

They're not really angry with me, It's God that they have an issue wth. This is why I don't let it bother me.

No, it's you. :blushing:

I believe in God, AND I adhere to what He says. The difference is that I don't bash people with it and act all high and mighty like you do. I let GOD sort it out, since I am not Him. Try again.

I guess you don't adhere to this part of God's word:

Rom 14:13Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this--not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way.

LMAO, this is CLASSIC. Everytime someone is in a snit and gets pissed they tell others to get offline and take care of their families/jobs/or something. As it happens, I am personally rather efficient with my time and I have enough time to take care of myself, my two kids, three pets, household, and everything else I have going on. I amm offended that you think Iam 'wasting my time' where as you are so superior you are ONLY online because it is your JOB to do so. Whatever. This is what it comes down to, if pattygreen is going to post her radical shit online then she is going to have to accept that people are going to shove it right back at her. Put on your Big Girl Panties and deal with it. If you want sunshine and rainbows and ass-pats, go somewhere else. Suck it up or take your toys and go home.

I <heart> Ginger!!! :blushing:

Everyone needs to keep in mind the LBT rules , Even though this is the Rant and Raves section the rules do still apply .

1. Everyone has a right to speak regardless of their perspective.

2. While we believe in free speech, keep in mind that this right is not absolute. Dissent is an essential part of any discussion where people are encouraged to express varying opinions; however, it is equally important to maintain both decorum and topicality as related to LapBandTalk.com’s mission.

4. Members will treat each other with courtesy and respect, especially when they disagree. We understand that bright, intelligent and educated people may not always agree, but personal attacks in the form of insults, abusive language or other means of obvious harassment will not be tolerated.

7. Please take the really personal discussions to PM or e-mail.

If you have a problem with another member take it off the board .

ANYWHOO! I knew the truth would hurt. The truth hurts, or you would not respond to what I have said. Some of you need to grow and get a life outstide of the net.

GANGING UP ON ME?? Hey?, OOOH I am SCARED! Yeah, right! High School Stuff, grow up.

For the ones who said I was a troll, if I am a troll, then you are GANGSTERS, you like to beat people down.

You spend too much time online, and I am quite sure you some of you have a family. If I did not have a business online I would not be online at all, but when I am online I am making money, not wasting time.

A couple of questions, do you pay my rent? Do you pay my bills? Do I have to live with YOu! Thank God, NO!

I have a life outside of the internet, you need to get one.

GROW Up!

All I can hear is the title to Hemminway's great novel: For Whom The Bell Trells.

But you are right; we do need get to a life. Trouble is, typing on the internet is so much more slimming than eating....

What is the difference between Pattygreen and God????

I wanted to educate myself on what having a lot of children would be like so I watched a double helping, a full hour, of the Duggars. At the time that this was filmed, the Ds had 18 kids and that is only 4 more than octopussy will have in her charge once the infants are home with her. I was very impressed with this show. The Ds seemed to be a highly organized family and they have the older kids pitching in and doing some of the work with the youngest ones.

Both the older kids and the younger ones seemed to have thrived under this system; the older ones take pride in their work to uphold the family and to ensure that it is running smoothly and there are emotional bonds of affection which are cemented into place.

The father is also around 24/7 and they have, over the years, worked out a system. They also have money which they need: for transportation costs, they need a bus/3 taxis, and I imagine that they work well with hand-me-downs in clothing. All of the Ds seem to be bright and healthy.

Sadly, of course, none of this will be available for octopussy for the majority of her kiddies are the same age and, I have heard, some suffer from health issues. And there is no father in the picture to give a helping hand. Studies have proven that the children of one-parent families do tend to run into greater difficulties - with the law, with finishing their education, with emotional development - than do their peers who come from two parent families. In other words, the deck is already stacked against those octuplets and octopussy's other children.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
