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 mine Felicia. Every she acts up it's "Bye Felicia!" [emoji23]?

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

So I’m definitely thinking it needs to be a female type of name.
I’m leaning toward “Myrtle” because it’s kinda fun and funky and the meaning of it is “victory”
And most importantly, I don’t know anyone in rl named Myrtle

I feel ya on that! I'll post some ideas as I think about it more
A lady I follow on ig calls hers Petunia. Like get it together Petunia!

So, I got to thinking about a female name....

How about Katniss?

As in Katniss Everdeen the main character from (what else) The Hunger Games. ;)

Mine is Baby. Because of the amount and consistency of the food when it was brand new like a baby. It would sometimes need burped like a baby and would be fussy when hiccups came.

Now I can eat real food... my Baby’s all grown up!

Lol.

I’m also considering the name Cleo- short for Cleopatra—- the queen of denial.

Steve. Steve the sleeve. Done :)

Has a nice ring to it lol

How about Virgil S. Gastrectomy for VSG? Still like all the others too, who am I to rock, the boat, after all I named my pouch Precious although some days Dang You would have been better!
Mine has different names for different times and different audiences. But generally she’s Polly Pouch. My little 2 year old grand daughter calls my stomach “ jiggle tummy”. She loves to push it and watch it jiggle. She then laughs hysterically. She’s so cute. I hate it. But we all laugh. It’s real life.

Hadn't thought of naming it before. Gonna have to think about this one.

I had a lap band for 9 years and I called her Lola, because what Lola wanted we got to eat, but what she didn't we spit up. But I hope the sleeve is better.

I named mine keke. She’s small, cute & feisty at times. Overall she’s been a trooper tho.
Evil monster who doesn’t let me eat? Pain in my gut? Little sh*thead? Is it gas or is it an ulcer? I could come up with mean names for my pouch.

Petunia is too close to what I’d name my vagina ?. Can’t have two petunias!
