Hi Everyone!

I am curious. After two years, I have decided to name my band.

His name is Bandit. He is male because he acts as my "Food Police" the way my DH once did.

He is Bandit because he sometimes steals my meal from me!

My DH and I like it, he can ask how Bandit is doing and no one knows what we are talking about. Sort of like our little code. A bit of silliness.

So, did you name yours? Why or why not?

I am curious if you think giving a band a name gives credit to something other than yourself for your losses, when it is really YOU to whom the credit belongs. You make the proper food choices. You do the exercise.

What do you think?

I've been laughing at other people naming there bands but have decided since it's a part of me forever I might as well...I'm leaning towards Steve....don't ask...it has to be a male, I'm not sure why, but it has to be, and Steve is a simple, strong, decisive name :-P I'm not sure, I haven't written the birth certificate yet :)

Yes I named my band about a week after I was banded. I named it SNOOKIE after the short little over tanned chic from The show JERSEY SHORE. lol. My band is little, loud and obnoxious and can take a hit. lol

My Fiance asks me, so how is snookie behaving today? LOL

I named mine. Her name is Luna, because she only talks at night. 130 am hits and all you here is her grumbling in a silent room. It's amusing. :)

I named not only my band.. but my port too.

The band is Ben (because it's gone where no other has been) and just because the port is so picky... it's Jerry.

My port is right under my skin and very much obvious to me. Jerry doesn't like it when I hear something very very funny because he jabs me :) Ben and Jerry make a good team.

Mine is Hilda. There's a PBS show called 'Rumpole of the Bailey'. Rumpole always refers to his wife as "She Who Must Be Obeyed"...and that's my Hilda.

Doesn't matter whether I want another bite or that piece of french bread. She must be obeyed or I'll pay for it with immediate feedback.

I've named my band Bruce, after Batman's alter ego.

The band is not a magic wand (nor a super hero). However, he makes it possible for me to succeed (as Bruce Wayne does for Batman).

I've not named my port.

It looks like the no's have it so far, but we're not talkin' (lol). So, I'll jump in. I'm not into naming things...no name for body parts, cars, etc. My band is pretty quiet anyway. Unless I do something kind of dumb, like continuing to eat when I can feel things aren't moving well, I rarely hear a peep from it, so I guess that's a good thing. I've enjoyed reading your band names and why you've picked them though.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
