1 week out from RNY - need a good name for my pouch



Recommended Posts

I'm 1 week out as of today. Had gastric bypass on 4/14. Down 11.5 lbs since day of surgery, 21.5 lbs since 4/4. So thankful to finally be losing!!

I'm 5'7"

Highest weight: 299

Preop weight before LS diet: 270

Surgery day weight 260

Current weight: 248.5

Goal weight: 135-140

Anybody name their pouch? Looking for a good one for mine. Toying with a few names but none are just screaming at me. The ones I'm toying with are Polly Pocket, Penelope Pouch, Penny, or Joey (like the baby kangaroo).

Thank goodness for this post! I thought I was crazy. Day 1, I was already sick of pouch, pouch, pouch. It's been Joey for the rest of the month. It makes it more fun. For instance, Joey does NOT like broccoli!

Hey... I had my gastric bypass on 4/14 also! I think naming our pouch is an awesome idea I am going to start looking for the right name.

I love this! 'Joey' is pretty cute!

I'm going to have to think about this... my friend's daughter's name is Joey, so I'd feel weird calling my pouch 'Joey'...

I named my CPAP... Horton. There's no doubt I'll be naming my pouch, I just know it ;)

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
