Name your Lap-Band!!

[Brinabrina77 24]

I eat a LOT less than I used to preband. I thought that *I* was going to be the one who had to adjust to me eating much less. It turns out that my friends are even having a hard time remembering why I eat less.

I was chatting with one of my friends and discussing our day. The man is built like a NewPort cigarette and eveytime I talk to him he is eating or on his way to get food. He lives in MD and I live in GA. He was doing his nightly scavenging for late night fast food and he could not find anything he really wanted. So he jokingly asked could he stop by for dinner.

He knew me before I was banded. More importantly he knew how much I used to be able to eat preband. Well, I told him what I cooked for dinner ( a portion of a chicken breast and some vegetables) there was this long pause. I was like, "That's it. That's all I cooked."

There was another loong pause on the phone which was probably him basking in the disbelief that I cooked and ate so little. Then it must have suddenly hit him that I had been banded. He then says, "Ohhh yeahhhh. I forgot. You pretty much have a napkin ring around your stomach now."

For some reason that cracked me up. Since then, he and I refer to my band as "the napkin ring."

I've had my band for almost 3 years...

After about the first 2 weeks I noticed how much noise my belly made, it never stopped grumbling/rumbling/gurgling... So after laying in bed 1 night listening to it I started calling it... GABBY!!! And she ~still~ never shuts up !!!

Patricia....and Gabby :scared2:

On second thought... I think I will name my band Junie B. (as in Junie B. Jones) since I am getting Banded in June. Can you tell I am an elementary school teacher? :scared2:

Not really a name, but I refer to mine as "The Leash"

Might have to name my port though, now that I lost 80 of 100 lbs there's no swatch of whale blubber hiding it any more.
