Have you named your band yet?



Recommended Posts

I have. I figure that it must be a male band, as no female would intentionally cause me such pain when I eat something I shouldn't, so I have named him " Bernard". He does not like chicken and really hates bread and this is just the beginning. Bernard controls my life right now, but like any new relationship, once we come to an understanding, I will be in control. I just have to figure out his ways and then I will be just fine! We don't know each other that well yet, but I plan to love him forever. This is a relationship that I am willing to work on and eventually, we will become as one.

Oh yeah, my husband thinks I am nuts, naming this piece of silicone, but since this is a very close relationship, I just can't see letting Bernard stay nameless. I mean, I know the names of many folks that don't have nearly as much control in my life, so why not? At least it gives me a name I can yell out when I have a PB episode, right?! :blushing:

You are too funny! Thanks for the laugh. You may have something here however. I have been thinking of it as a "silent tool" but maybe I'll name it now that you have opened the subject.

I too love this idea, I have refering to it as a conscience or a cop, so I think "it" will need a name have a few days to think about it.

HappyHome, you could call it Jiminy :blushing:

I don't know if you get Little Britain (TV show) in America, but there is a cross dressing character on there, Emily. Who is a "Laaady, and does laaady things." I think of my band as Emily because she makes me eat "daintily, like a laaady". :laugh::Banane20:

I don't know if Sit N'Sleep is nationwide, but, in case it isn't, or for those in other countries, there is a guy named Larry, who is always selling matresses for good prices. He has a sort of sidekick who always says, "You're killing me Larry!"

So I named my band Larry because, if he causes me pain--which he hasn't so far--that's what I'm going to say.

My girlfriend said that Lary should have a partner, namely the port, so she named her Patty.

I am not banded yet but I too name everything. :thumbup: I plan to call my smaller stomach 'Smidge' or 'Smidgen' (as in I can only have a smidgen of that.)

The band I had planned to call Jesus (as in a Savior) but then decided as a Christian it wasn't probably the best idea.

I'm still thinking about the band name. I know when I do get LB I will say I've moved from 'Lazy Acres' to 'Bandyland.' :crying:

I just love this thread! :crying: It just made my morning.

I will definitely have to think about this one. I agree that we should also name our ports, as our band does have a partner in this relationship. :thumbup:

LOL, Jiminy, I like that .... Or in the spirit of Great Britian.... should I go for Bobby? lets see how rough or gently I need be reminded as to what not to do and we can choose from there:thumbup:

My neice that was living with us for 6 months would rag on my for my coffee consumption, so I would refer to her on the phone as my conscience when I talked to friends... So could be Lydia LOLOLOL she would die if she knew.

ROFL

I thought I was the only one. Mine is named Murray.

It's a really geeky story. If anyone plays World of Warcraft (I've not for more than a year), you'll know the sounds of the murlocs in the game. On days when I'm too tight, my band sounds like a murloc. Mur....Murray!

So..I'm a geek.

      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.
