1 week out from RNY - need a good name for my pouch

I'm 1 week out as of today. Had gastric bypass on 4/14. Down 11.5 lbs since day of surgery, 21.5 lbs since 4/4. So thankful to finally be losing!!

I'm 5'7"

Highest weight: 299

Preop weight before LS diet: 270

Surgery day weight 260

Current weight: 248.5

Goal weight: 135-140

Anybody name their pouch? Looking for a good one for mine. Toying with a few names but none are just screaming at me. The ones I'm toying with are Polly Pocket, Penelope Pouch, Penny, or Joey (like the baby kangaroo).

    Thank goodness for this post! I thought I was crazy. Day 1, I was already sick of pouch, pouch, pouch. It's been Joey for the rest of the month. It makes it more fun. For instance, Joey does NOT like broccoli!

    I love this! 'Joey' is pretty cute!

    I'm going to have to think about this... my friend's daughter's name is Joey, so I'd feel weird calling my pouch 'Joey'...

    I named my CPAP... Horton. There's no doubt I'll be naming my pouch, I just know it ;)
