Has anyone named their band?



Recommended Posts

I'm going to name my band. It's my new best friend - and don't friends usually have names or nick names? I'm naming my band Lenni - ;)

Anyone else name their band? If you have - what is your bands name?

I name everything. My husband thinks I'm a wacko for it but things mean more when they have a name associated with them!

I was thinking about this yesterday since a coworker bought me a stufed stomach from her local hospital gift shop. I just have to think of a name for the band... dont know yet.

I was thinking there should be a key chain shaped like the band. =)

My DH has named mine Billy. He refers to people jokingly as "Billy Bad Ass", especially our DS when he is full of himself. So when I was banded he kept saying I was a Billy Band Ass....now we just refer to it as Billy. Not the name I likely would have chose, but it fits now. At dinner tonight when I stopped eating (we went out with DS, DIL and DGS), he asks me "Billy shut ya down?" My DIL was so confused, she finally ask what we were talking about!

Mine is Katrinka but lovingly called Trink. BF always asks "Is Trink treating you ok?" ;)

I had an image of her as a lovely pale ballerina with her tiny fist around my tummy....beautiful and often petulant. Thus Trink was born.

I named my pouch....call it Pooch, as in "gotta feed the Pooch," "Pooch can't eat that," etc. (FYI: for you city or foreign folks, pooch is a very common term for pet dogs in rural areas).

The "Silicone Freeloader." :biggrin1:

OK, that sounds harsh, but I do think it kind of sits around, hangs out, and only chips in when it wants to do something, LOL.

My band is Sven- the swedish task-master!

I like to think of him as a big burly golden-haired viking kind of guy- you know "you vill not eat that!!" hee hee

Mine is Neysa. Named for my dog, who I had for 12 years before having to have her put to sleep some years ago.

She was a great pet, but had odd quirks I learned to live with and love. So it seemed appropriate.

I asked DH if he had named his band, and he looked at me like I was nuts...

I think I'll name mine, my new car. Since there will be no new car in my future after taking out the loan for this!:)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
