What's your Band's name?



Recommended Posts

Today my doctor told me some people name their bands :lol:. She logs the name and asks how "enter name here" is doing during appt's. Now for me to find a perfect name...

OMG This is hilarious you posted this because I was just telling a friend of mine last night that I am still wrapping my head around the fact I have a band in my stomach and so I feel if I name it then I will feel like we can then move forward in our bonding expeirence! I just cant think of a name for mine. I feel its a female tho...:P

I can't decide if I want to name it Bandy, or Mr. Bandit, something along those lines.

However, I bought a pillow pet to help me through the surgery and I named him Mr. Lappy Bear.

Her name is "Smidge" because she only lets me eat a smidge of this or a smidge of that at any given time. :lol2: I love being banded, it has been such a wonderful blessing.

:lol: hahaha those are great! I'm thinking of something along the lines of a great ruler. Controlling, but great. I'd say Caesar but I don't want food to stab me in the back. Oh, what the heck, Caesar is great.

I also chose Bandit for mine because he was being a bad band at the time and stealing my meals from me!

So DH and I refer to him in the third person. How's Bandit today? People think we are talking about my dog.

One of the best names I've seen here is Ralph!

Mine is referred to as shameless. due to his ability to be shameless about hogging the limelight at meal times! After all it is about him

My daughter named her's Faith because she has faith it will work.

Mine is named Hope because I hope it works.

One of our best friends named hers Love because she loves her band.

So we have Faith, Hope and Love!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
