Explain your name on LBT...



Recommended Posts

Now some things are obvious Debbie1993 has to be a Debbie born in 1993. Bandedforever loves the band (sorry if someone actually has that name... not picking on anyone). But some names are off the wall. How did you choose your name?

I'll go first:

Origin of Poodles: I am a big LOTR geek. Was a Miriel at one time but was turned into a Poodle during an online game by a wizard. (Yes I am a geek) My so called "friend" said I was hyper and annoying like a Poodle, so everyone started calling me Poodles. The "Tricksy" was added as an adjective, because I made excellent moves in the game (I assume). My hubby says it kinda sounds like a porn star name. I have had it for so long now, I just keep it... because I am a little hyper and annoying. The hot pink is just me. Funny thing is I have a Schnauzer and a Mutt. I don't really care for Poodles.

Ok now... PlunderBunny... Vinesqueen and the rest... fess up, how and why do you have your name...

I have been called Ms.Vicki by everyone I'v known since the the 70's (Tiny Tim's Miss Vicki, for those of you that remember).

Funny, even people I just meet that do not know my knickname call me Ms. Vicki. Maybe its a respect thing. The kids in my Sunday School class call me Ms. Vicki too.

Mines probably pretty obvious...but like Poodles I am a HUGE LOTR fan (the theatre production in Toronto is spectacular, btw!!!) ever since I first picked up Tolkien in grade 6 (1976!!!). Anyways, I digress....I am also a very loyal Star Wars Fan. I was a goner the first time Hans Solo came into view on that big screen (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh... :P :P :P:):D:) *snaps out of it*)....I still have the entire collection of trading cards from all the movies, I have a life size cut out of Hans Solo in my garage (my husband made me move him out of the bedroom!!!) which sometimes scares the hell out of me when I come into the garage at night..."omigawd, there's a thug in the garage....oh wait...tis merely my lovely Hans).. Yes, and how does this relate to Yoda...well I must say that Yoda has always been one of my fave characters and he is a ROCKIN' fighter and is the best jedi around! (yes, I do realize jedis don't actually exist...ahem!). Plus, lets face it...Yoda is damn cute, even though he is kinda green & he has a tiny light sabre!!!! (but he beats Kermit anyday!!). As well, a few yrs ago, a friend started calling me Yoda because she kept commenting on how good my advice was and saying that I was "wise beyond my years" etc etc.....Okay, I'll stop now..otherwise I'll go on forever. Sidenote: I'm fortunate enough to have met and married my soulmate, who loves Star Wars (& LOTR) even more than me!!!! Yes...tis possible!!!!

Can't wait to hear some of your stories.

:)

Bubbyville -

Bubby is the pet name that my DH and I have called each other since we started dating almost 17 yrs ago. We started with "Buddy" but that isn't the term one would like to be called when you are dating someone. So we changed it slightly and "Bubby" definately fits us!!

Our first house was in the country right outside an uncorporated town called Bussyville. (several times a year they have to fix that sign - kids enjoy painting a big P over the :) nice huh.

So, we decided that we lived in Bubbyville - population 2 (at the time- gosh, that was @ 15 yrs ago ).

It is something that we still call each other and are very proud that Bubbyville now has a population of 5!!

I know I am boring because I used my first name and my last name initial. There are so many Mary's in the world I have been called everything from Mary Ann to Mary Sue. I like Mary B the best, so that is me! I never had a nickname...except my niece and father-in-law called me Murney...but it didn't stick. Oh and I am the _itch of the family, so that fits too with the Maryb

Well ... I became Jammin & Losin because MY name is Jamie and I was hoping I would be Jammin with my weight loss after I was banded !!! So far 100 pounds down in 14 months I'd have to say... I've lived up to my name sake!! LOL!!

Well, what can I say - our whole family loves archery. We even have an archery range in the back yard.

And to top it of we all are HUGE LOTR fans- we even have the prototypes of the Legolas elvenbows (and they have been shot- have a very acurat aim too)! WHOO HOO.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
