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.

      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.
