May Miracles doesn't feel right for this non-religious person... and perhaps some others, too.

Right of course. I was not thinking of miracle in a religious sense, but that is me!

May Motivators?

Hey...do you guys know if we can put a poll IN a thread... or does it have to be a separate thread?? Maybe we can put a poll up for our new name... Mayzie Daisies, May Poles (my favorite), MayFlowers, May Minis... and all the other great suggestions.. (I like the ide of adding a slogan too.)

That's a great idea! I wonder, too. Personally, I like Mayflowers. It reminds me of the pilgrims journey to the "new world". In a way, we are all new pilgrims on our own journey to find our "new worlds".

I love all the suggestions! My jr. High teacher called me slats when I was a kid because I was tall and flat as a board! May Pole brings back some memories, now I look nothing like a board . . . . more like a balloon!

The journey idea is great because we are definately on the journey to our new world!!! Gotta go to nutrition class . . . bye

sillywillymommy - I suggested May flowers way back on page 6 of this thread but no one responded. I still like the name! We could put it right under our name and then no matter what thread we were on everybody would know we were part of the May banders. I like it as one word 'Mayflower" and then something catchy like 'bloomin from within' or something like that.

Wenjea,

I second that! Catchy little name. I think it will be nice to see at a glance the other May bandsters!

Oh dear, talk about a nightmare!! Last night I dreamed I ate a filet mignon. I could even smell it. I guess Day 8 of just liquids got to me! Even a plain head of lettuce sounds appealing. How scary. It is MUCH better now, but still!

NVGirl, phuber40 and PghMomof3,

Good luck to all of you! Prayers are being said!

I LOVE the daisy logo! (I might even find a little spot to put a tattoo like that on my flat belly in a year or so!!! HA! I wish!)

Anyway, I like all the ideas...I think my fav so far is Mayflowers. (kind of reminds me of the pilgrims, though...but...they DID embark on an exciting journey!!)

For all of you on the "other" side, thanks for your updates. It sure makes me less nervous about the whole thing.

Everyone have a great week...only 4 days to go! Can't believe it's here!

I like the daisy and the slogan, but could we get it without the black background? It seems kind of depressing............ I don't know if we could maybe make it smaller, that way with our tickers it would not take up a whole lot of room. Just a thought........

My first post. I'll be banded May 17th..I'm so glad to join you.

I do have a funny story to share.

I went to my doctor appointment on Friday, and saw, in the waiting room, someone who regularly posts here. I've been reading for months, and when I saw her, I immediately knew who she was. It was like seeing a celebrity.

I didn't say anything...it felt a bit like stalking. ("Hey, you don't know me, but I know who you are." It was just funny.

Anyway, good to be here.

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

        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.

      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
