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 :))

      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.
