Does Your Sleeve Have A Name?



Recommended Posts

I like the thread someone started about how we got our usernames because it is a kinda get to know you in a different sorta way. Then, I saw a poast where someone called their sleeve by name. So....that got me to thinking, what do you call your sleeve? I'm still preop and thus can't contribute but I'm interested to hear from those who have given their sleeve a name.

My sleeve is named Rex, and Rex is male. Rex is because he's been downsized from a T-Rex (big to little) and male because he doesn't like for me to eat chocolate. Only a man would deny a woman some chocolate! ;)

I so love that.....especially the chocolate part being the reason you chose a male name. That made me lol.

Rex didn't like sweets from day 1. Sometimes now he'll let me have some chocolate, but he usually balks after a couple of bites. If I have any, though, I count it as if I ate the whole thing on My Fitness Pal.

I have two names for mine. When it is in a good mood - it's Steve, the Sleeve. When it's grumbly, I refer to it as Grouch, the Pouch. (probably not the most original names.)

I'm dumb. I don't have my sleeve yet. That's what I call my tummy now. I saw you were "pre-op"and then misread.

I've seen people naming their bands, too. Always struck me as odd, but I'm not judging.

Just out of curiosity, do you guys have names for your other organs, or just your stomach?

Do you refer to it by name, like in 3rd person? E.g. "No thanks, I'm not hungry, Sleevie Wonder ate at 2..."?

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

      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! 😞
