My husband went to the gym with me this morning and I told him some people name their lapband and he had me cracking up - these are some he became up with: 1. Boa ; 2. Constrictor; 3. Shrinky Dink; 4. The Minimizer; 5. Squeezer; 6. Squeezey ;7. Slim fast - funny :)

Ahahaha! I hope you picked Shrinky Dink! :lol:

I have to go with Spartacus for mine. It will never surrender, back down or give up in a fight. It will stand up for me no matter what, and takes crap from no one.

My band' s name is Leonida.

Here in Italy we study Ancient Greek history at school.

Leonida was the king of Sparta, a small,but brave town which was being attacked by the huge Persian army.

He faced this enormous army in a narrow place among the mountains and ( just because the place was narrow and he was a great warrior) succeeded in stopping the enemy and giving his town the time to organize their defence.

So, my Leonida's task is facing and stopping the huge amount of food I used to stuff into my stomach.

I think I might name my band Seraphina! It translates into "fiery one" and my band is definitely got a lot of fire in her personality. Also, I decided it's a girl because she is way too all over the place with her feelings to be a guy ;)

I was banded a few weeks before the U.S. Open and named my band while watching the games. I named it Serenity in honor of Serena Williams.

Named mine Audry after a character in a musical. In the musical "Little Shop of Horrors," the man eating plant Audry has a great line, "feed me, feed me." Thus my band, Audry, will let me know when I am in need of eating, and how much I can eat. She says, "feed me!" and I give her 3 oz of food, and she makes a burp and we are done. Should I try to eat more and she alerts me to my overeating my burping loudly.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
