name bands



Recommended Posts

I've read that some people have named thier bands, I want to also but I need inspiration. Everything I think of sounds like a movie, ie Godfather, Rocky etc. What do you guys call yours? I feel like Im naming a kid or something.

My band is named Pandora, as sometimes she is kind and allows me to eat and sometimes she is a mean, biting b**ch. I never know how something is going to work out until I am several bites into it. Like broccoli, sometimes I can eat it and sometimes it causes major PB's, thanks to Pandora. ~Mandy

It seems like I better wait before I name mine as I have not had a fill yet and aparently these things can get nasty sometimes. I have noticed that Ive lost my appetite for Choclate and Im mortified. I used to think that it was a food group all by itself and now Im not so fastenated. I didnt expect that so I want to wait till a get a fill as I dont know if mine will be bipoar babe or Jack the Ripper (no offense Jack OK?) maybe something like Pistol Pete...I dont know. I like sil acon Ha, good job, Pandora ya thats good too.

Okay...so first, you have to decide if your band "feels" like a boy or a girl. That is step one in the naming process.

Once you have that...then you have to visualize what you think your band "looks" like.....Like what kind of person or animal or whatever it means to you.

From there you pick the name.

So for me...I knew mine was a girl. One day Jack posted on here about his "little silicon fist" and that image really fit my thoughts perfectly. So I imagined my band as a little petulant ballerina. A little skinny ballet girl who had her tiny fist around my tummy. From there I knew I needed a Russian name.

And boom, Katrinka was born. On the days I love her, I affectionately call her "Trink". On the days she's being extraordinarily petulant, full name only.

Trink and I are having a good couple days right now.....

And there you have it, the process to naming your band.

Good luck and let us know when "a band is born"!!

I started the name your band thread if you want to search that for ideas.

Mine is named Bambi - because it is my alter ego sexy stripper name that someday with Bambi I could achieve a decent looking body.

Somone emailed me later and said that BAMBI - could stand for Band And Me Bonded Indefinately. I like it - it will come to you!

I named mine Nike, after the Greek Goddess of Victory. Thought it seemed fitting since 'victory' over my weight is my goal.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
