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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
