Naming your Band?



Recommended Posts

I am glad I am not the only one that thinks like you. I had a name picked out before my surgery. I figured my band was my new life long friend and deserved a name and I chose LILY. I told another gal I met at the hospital my idea and today she emailed me and told me she named hers "Pheonix". I had my band done on August 5th and am doing great. Good luck to all you August people waiting for thier big day.

I have been thinking about the "Enforcer". I be Forced to make better choices and to eat healthier. It will also be a physical barrier in limiting the amount of food I can consume. It will Force me to lose this weight:biggrin:

The current leader in the clubhouse is "Stanley". Follow me here:

  • The band is a tool
  • The "Fat Max" line of tools is made by "Stanley"
  • The Stanley Tool slogan is "Make Something Great!"
  • As a bonus, the band is in my tum. And when I get to goal, he will be "Flat Stanley" (see Flat Stanley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
  • Flat Stanley has adventures and I will to!

I like the upbeat and positive associations with the name!

I've been wondering what name you have been leaning more towards.

I like Stanley and all the associations with the name. Much better then Abe. Stanley seems to be a really friendly name as well. Good choice if you go with it.

Love the Flat Stanley! I work in an elementary school and the kids send flat Stanley all over the country and have them sent back. I would love to be thin like flat Stanley!

I'm thinking maybe Fullerton for mine. Still haven't decided for sure.

If you'd like to go for obscurity on the "fuller" theme, how about "Bucky" for F. Buckminster Fuller? He designed the most famous geodesic domes, such as the one at the Chicago Worlds Fair and the dome at Epcot is built on his design.

So we've finally settled on Stanley! I ordered a silver baby feeding spoon with his name and birthdate engraved on it so that I will eat itty-bitty bites and not make him sick. :tongue2:

Some day I'll have that spoon mounted in a shadow box with a before and after picture (of me, silly, not Stanley :))

      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.
