Names for my new sleeve

Okay so as of today I’m exactly 8 weeks post sleeve.
I’m trying to find a nickname for my new stomach because referring to it as “my sleeve” is just plain boring.
Anybody got any clever names for their sleeves? Looking for ideas

  • I call it Old Grumbler, because of the weird gurgly noises that emanate from it! ?

Never thought about naming my stomach. Ha! Like naming your car, huh? I'll have to give this some thought. We could get really creative with it.

How about putting your name into it somehow like I did? Lol

Since you have a "bear" in your name some ideas:

Teddy

Fuzzy

Grizzly

Winnie (The Pooh)

Yogi

I will stop now... :)

(I guess using part of our names would eventually make mine "The Little Forker?". :lol:

Lol. Keep em coming guys.
Hope you And Felicia finally sign a truce, well since Korea is and was a "police action" there cannot be a permanent cease- fire. I am usually "pistol- whipped" by MS Precious Pouch sitting quietly to see of
if I can trick,her into holding my little bit of protein down. So far so good!

If I refer to her at all it is Missy...as in Okay Missy settle down. that was something new I put in there. I have been trying a lot of new foods, getting so bored with the norm since surgery LOL

lol. These are all great ideas.
Hahaha, what I really want to call her now is “temperamental bi**h” but you can’t use that term unless you really know the person you’re talking to
So my quest for a PG-rated name continues...

My mom and I both had the sleeve and we refer to it as the pouch. OR I just called it a she. Like if I'm having a bad day (gas pains) I always say "oh she's mad today"

I call it Old Grumbler, because of the weird gurgly noises that emanate from it! [emoji44]
Right? For the little bit of work I ask it to do, I would think it would have the decency to keep the complaints down to a minimum! LOL

hmm...i hadn't thought of naming my sleeve, that sounds fun! Maybe i'll start calling mine a "test tube" or "beaker" like from the muppets...

Or even Honeydew like the Professor, that way you can say" Honeydew, digest THIS!"
