Hi Everyone!

I am curious. After two years, I have decided to name my band.

His name is Bandit. He is male because he acts as my "Food Police" the way my DH once did.

He is Bandit because he sometimes steals my meal from me!

My DH and I like it, he can ask how Bandit is doing and no one knows what we are talking about. Sort of like our little code. A bit of silliness.

So, did you name yours? Why or why not?

I am curious if you think giving a band a name gives credit to something other than yourself for your losses, when it is really YOU to whom the credit belongs. You make the proper food choices. You do the exercise.

What do you think?

Unless I do something kind of dumb, like continuing to eat when I can feel things aren't moving well...

I sooooo HATE it when I do that!!

Part of the reason I started this thread was to see if anyone thought maybe naming their band could lead to over eating or something.

By giving an alter ego to an inanimate object. In this instance you have accepted the blame and outcome for the action of not stopping when you feel things not moving.

If I blame it on Bandit, might I continue to eat? At this point in the band game, I will not, because I KNOW I cannot eat when I feel it.

Just curious and rambling.....

Ha! Hilda is perfect. Now you need one of the PBS "She who must be obeyed" t-shirts :mad:

Mine is named The Governor. It's kind of fun to talk about The Governor--although it would probably be even more fun if I lived in a different state!

Hahahaha!! I was laughing hard when I saw this thread. I soo named my band the first week I had it. I named Mine Pancho. It just sounded like a good name. My husband thought it was silly, but when something doesn't sit right in my tummy I always say "Aye, Pancho why do you do this to me." My husband finds it amusing. LOL :mad:

I haven't named the band but the port is my alien belly button.

Hi...I named mine Princess. She can be difficult and a little bit hard to understand but we're working on it. Yes, Princess it is.

My Band will be BuddyAid....self explanatory name I think...

I figured that if I was going to have this for life, I want to embrace it:)

OMG! This is the funniest thing I have seen since I've been looking at Lap Band forums!! Now I have to come up with a name for mine . . . . :mad:

he he he! I thought about Pancho! Also Paco, but we have two Chihuahuas in the neighborhood named Paco, too confusing!

I never thought about naming the port. Will have to ponder that one.

I love the Ben & Jerry combo!!

Zippy is my band, because I think of her as a zip tie, due to the fact that when I get my fill it is pulled tighter.

Zap is my port, due to the fact that she must be zapped with saline to give me a fill. Once she is zapped, the weight starts dropping again, and zippy and I are happy.

My band is Lucy. It's a nice discrete way to let my husband know I'm full or hungry just by saying "Lucy is talking to me." (Although I just realized people around me may think I'm hearing voices.) My husband even calls it Lucy!

My port is Ethel. Good pair and they keep things entertaining, never know what to expect from them - the same as the TV duo.

Steve killed me - the people who live behind us have a dog named Steve!

Still laughing at Ben and Jerry - think I would have ice cream on my mind constantly if I had those names!

My best friend said I should name my band Larry for the Sit'n'sleep commercials. If anything ever gets stuck, or I hurt for any reason, I can say, "You're killing me Larry!" (Fortunately, he's been a good boy!) So I gave him a wife, Patty. My port.

Debbie

My bands name is "squishy" (Little Nemo is one of my favorite Disney Movies and Dory is my favorite character in it, if you've seen it you know what I'm talking about)...He can be a baaaaaad squishy at times but, I still love him!

Ok, I think I've got names for my band and port - Bonnie & Clyde. Bonnie for my band, and Clyde for my port. Hopefully Bonnie (with occasional help from Clyde) will "shoot down" my hunger pains. Yeah, I know, it's lame, but it's the best I could come up with!!

Becky is the name of mine. Vicki and Becky.

Yes I named my band about a week after I was banded. I named it SNOOKIE after the short little over tanned chic from The show JERSEY SHORE. lol. My band is little, loud and obnoxious and can take a hit. lol

My Fiance asks me, so how is snookie behaving today? LOL

"little, loud and obnoxious and can take a hit" ROFL!! :cursing:

too freaking funny
