What do you call yours?

I don't know if anyone has done a thread like this before, but I was wondering if anyone else gave their band a name?

Mine is called 'Elpeatha', which is the Greek name for hope. I'm hoping very much she and I will make this relationship work to my advantage!

Yep, this thread has been done, but it was a long time ago. Mine is called "Thang". My DH always refers to that thang I had done.

Nope haven't named my band (or any other body parts for that matter) ... but cars?? Oh yeah we could talk about that --- but that would be thread hi-jacking, and I won't do it!

My husband has nicknames for everyone and everything....he refers to the grandkids as Sally if they are crying or whiny...he tells them "cry baby Sally sittin in the Alley", makes them quit fussing and laugh at him singing. He refers to them as "Paula Punk", anything to tease them. Our son, when he was a teenager, he would call him Billy because he (DS) thought he was Billy Badass. So the other night DH told me he was gonna call my band Billy....

Billy Bandass. The man may need psychiatric help????!!!!

Here is one post on the subject...http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=12506&highlight=naming+band

But yes, I've named my little band. Her name is Katrinka, but we call her Trink. Her name came from the image I got when Jack called his band a little silicon fist. That made me think of a little tiny petulant ballerina so I went with a Russian ballerina sounding name. Thus Katrinka was born.

The few people in my life that know I had surgery know her as Trink...and it's funny, they talk in Trink terms. Like the other day, my sis had a good meal and she and her hubby were saying "yuum, Trink would like this!"

My boyfriend is forever asking me "Is Trink happy? Is Trink feeling ok?" and we refer to certain foods that work well as Trink food or Trink friendly.

I figure if Trink is going to ride around in my body, we may as well be friends!

I'm thinking of calling mine "Tunnel Rat". We heard a talk today... if you've been banging your head against a wall for forever & the wall isn't dented, then find another way to win! Why not try the tunnel!

The band is my secret tunnel! :party: But since I don't wanna be talking about my rat, lol, I'll have to find something else to call it!

Mine is the "Silicone Freeloader" - as I sometimes fear it is NOT doing its part to carry the weight, so to speak. :party:

I call mine Maxine after my previous boss. Some days she was in a good mood and everything was great. Other days she was in a bad mood and everything sucked. So Maxine it is.

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
