Name Your Band



Recommended Posts

Mine was named soon after my surgery. It started with Jack calling his a "little silicon fist" so I liked that image. I imagine my band as a tiny Russian ballerina who has her little fist around my stomach. Somedays she is happy. Somedays she is petulant. So I call her Katrinka. Sometimes Trink for short. I often say "oh, Katrinka is hungry" or "Katrinka is NOT happy". Katrinka now governs my eating life and I happily let her.

Nykee - what is it that your talking about that means so much but you can't kill it? I'm confused there

...........

sorry, I was thinking of a name and I named it Nike and then I regretted it cuz I killed (or feel guilty of killing) a beloved pet I still havent gotton over at all.. and his name was nike... and I have been calling everything nike or nykee ever since even myself (like happy good things) and when I called my band Nike, I wondered if I would regret it cuz if It "died" I would feel guilty for killing it for what ever reasons (I am a guily monger)..

I dont know if that sounded more understandable or not..

I will just hope it all turns out well.. and I didnt name something thats gonna be a bad experience NIKE but something thats gonna be the best experience of my life.

I am apperently not sentimental, nor creative. It is simply my band, part of me, like my foot or my elbow. Of course, I didn't name any other body part, so I don't see any need to name a new body part.

I Think I Will Call Mine Twister, As I Am Having A Hard Time Explaining All Of This To My Kids. Twister Was My Middle Childs Imaginary Friend. He Was About Three Inches Tall, Had A Purple Afro, And His Skin Was Orange. I Had To Buckle Him In The Seatbelt When We Were On The Road. From Time To Time, David Would Forget About Twister On The Car Trips, And I Would Not Have To Buckle Hime In(or So I Thought He Forgot About Him.) When I Would Then Ask Him Where Twister Was, He Would Tell Me That They Were In A Fight, And David Was Making Him Run Beside The Car!! Hehehehe! I Wondered If This Was Healthy For David, And Decided That As Long As David Did Not Have Bruises From Their Fights, It Was All Going To Be Ok.

So I Will Call My Band Twister, And Tell My Kids That Twister Is Helping Me To Get Healthier. I Think They Will Have A Better Time Understanding That Than They Are With Just Seeing My Incisions And Wondering How The Heck That Could Be Healthy!!

Also, I Think We Should Start A Thread About What **we** Think Vinesqueen's Band Should Be Called.

Vines, I Needed You Last Week, I Was Having A Pity Party For Myself, And Needed Someone To Smack Me Out Of It...this Time It Was Not Rice-a-roni Related.

Mine, too, Nykee! We are not getting along right now! Maybe I'll call it something nice someday, but right now, it's called AL Bundy (worthless no good couch potato!!!) What do you think of Scrunchy? That could be good or bad, depending on the day!?

Anything to help our relationship become more symbiotic works for me (I have been at the same weight for three weeks...again!!)

I'm going for Bob. Silent Bob from the movie "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back." Pretty easy going until something happens that really pisses him off.

That would be my band Bob. Thank God, been banded 1 1/2 weeks and nothing has really upset him yet, just not going slow enough kinda caused chest pain.

:confused: Kristin

I really liked the name "Pandora". I just pictured all the evils spilling out into the world (PB) and Hope remaining. I wanted to steal it, but thought I would do better with a more whimsical band name... like Puckers. It's cute, its weird, and it sounds like it might even work on a Bad day.

So welcome Puckers, I will do what I can to keep you happy.

      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.
