Posted: Mon Nov 18, 2002 5:54 am Post subject: I named my weight loss Obie City, and you....?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I belonged to Weight Watchers, some of us decided to "name" our weight loss because it's always the weight of another person, from babies weighing a few pounds to toddlers, teens, and adults weighing all kinds of pounds. Some "losers" referred to it as a cyber baby, but everyone thought up a clever name.

I decided on Obie City. After I'm banded, I will start adding weight to Obie City until he's a big feller, ready to go out in the world to fend for himself. Or maybe we could send them all to a special place called Fat City. One condition: he can't come back. He can email and he can call, but he can't come back.

Some other names could be: Ima Gedden Thinner, Bustine Out, Thurgood

Tobie Lighter, or Hips Ahoy. Well, you get the idea. Thought it might be fun to watch each others' little critters grow and grow, the bigger the better. What do you think?

I read this on another forum and thought it was hilarious. Kind of reminded me of this thread and something Lisa/ Delarla said about somebody gaining our weight that we have lost. Otherwise this was a DEAD website. BORING, I left a couple of posts for people aiming them towards this sight. It was basically a few posts from a few people researching the band or on their way for a band and didn't seem to know much about it. Not very active AT ALL. Teresa

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
