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!

My first name was IGGY and yes it was a boy. LOL!! Now that I it is gone I amazingly still have small amount of restriction so far so I will call this PHANTOM. LOL!!! You guys can decide if it is a boy or girl.

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

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
