I'm not sure how I feel about naming it, but if I was to name it, I think I would call it 'Holden'. That was on my short list of names I wanted to call my son. And, I think of the band as HOLDing me iN from eating too much so that seems fitting. LOL

Unless I do something kind of dumb, like continuing to eat when I can feel things aren't moving well...

I sooooo HATE it when I do that!!

Part of the reason I started this thread was to see if anyone thought maybe naming their band could lead to over eating or something.

By giving an alter ego to an inanimate object. In this instance you have accepted the blame and outcome for the action of not stopping when you feel things not moving.

If I blame it on Bandit, might I continue to eat? At this point in the band game, I will not, because I KNOW I cannot eat when I feel it.

Just curious and rambling.....

Ha! Hilda is perfect. Now you need one of the PBS "She who must be obeyed" t-shirts :mad:

Mine is named The Governor. It's kind of fun to talk about The Governor--although it would probably be even more fun if I lived in a different state!

Hahahaha!! I was laughing hard when I saw this thread. I soo named my band the first week I had it. I named Mine Pancho. It just sounded like a good name. My husband thought it was silly, but when something doesn't sit right in my tummy I always say "Aye, Pancho why do you do this to me." My husband finds it amusing. LOL :mad:

I haven't named the band but the port is my alien belly button.

My Band will be BuddyAid....self explanatory name I think...

I figured that if I was going to have this for life, I want to embrace it:)

he he he! I thought about Pancho! Also Paco, but we have two Chihuahuas in the neighborhood named Paco, too confusing!

I never thought about naming the port. Will have to ponder that one.

I love the Ben & Jerry combo!!

Zippy is my band, because I think of her as a zip tie, due to the fact that when I get my fill it is pulled tighter.

Zap is my port, due to the fact that she must be zapped with saline to give me a fill. Once she is zapped, the weight starts dropping again, and zippy and I are happy.

My band is Lucy. It's a nice discrete way to let my husband know I'm full or hungry just by saying "Lucy is talking to me." (Although I just realized people around me may think I'm hearing voices.) My husband even calls it Lucy!

My port is Ethel. Good pair and they keep things entertaining, never know what to expect from them - the same as the TV duo.

Steve killed me - the people who live behind us have a dog named Steve!

Still laughing at Ben and Jerry - think I would have ice cream on my mind constantly if I had those names!

My best friend said I should name my band Larry for the Sit'n'sleep commercials. If anything ever gets stuck, or I hurt for any reason, I can say, "You're killing me Larry!" (Fortunately, he's been a good boy!) So I gave him a wife, Patty. My port.

My bands name is "squishy" (Little Nemo is one of my favorite Disney Movies and Dory is my favorite character in it, if you've seen it you know what I'm talking about)...He can be a baaaaaad squishy at times but, I still love him! :)

Ok, I think I've got names for my band and port - Bonnie & Clyde. Bonnie for my band, and Clyde for my port. Hopefully Bonnie (with occasional help from Clyde) will "shoot down" my hunger pains. :) Yeah, I know, it's lame, but it's the best I could come up with!!

      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.
