Naming your Band :-)



Recommended Posts

I finally came up with a great name (I think) And thanks to my DH... My port is slightly tilted so he says I should call her EILEEN... for "I Lean"... What do you think?

I had to go for the obvious choice of Bandit, because he steals meals from me when he decides to be mean and get stuck.

I did a poll on this a while ago.

The name that really cracked me up was Ralph!

Hey Debbie - What's your Port's Name? I never thought to name mine. It's kind of like the forgotten can of lima Beans in the cupnboard - you know its there but not neccessary until you need it :-)

Before the surgery, I named the band - My Hero. After 5 weeks, I changed the name to My Friend - realizing that much of the work would still be mine.

Hmmmm....... name of port. Have to think about that one.

It figures! Somebody already had Phil. :)

However, mine is Phyllis. So, it is still original.

After last week, yours could be Wyatt 'Urp'!

I haven't been banded *yet* but I refer to it as *Annie* which is short for Anaconda. Only my husband and my sister know I am doing this and I needed a code word for when we are around other family. My sister has 2 boa constrictors so she suggested the name and I have to admit I like it.

      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.
