Band Name Game



Recommended Posts

Since your band will be with you for a very long time, what will you name her?

I think I might go with "Beyonce" I'll just call her "B" for short.

So my short conversations would go kinda like this:

"Beyonce is working this weight off of me"

"B" is trippin' (when I'm pbing)"

"Beyonce" won't let me eat that"

"This is not in B's diet plan"

ROFLMAO!

(I got inspiration for this thread from another forum)

Have you really thought about how long the band is going to be with us? 1000 years from now when they dig up our bones they are going to find little bands and wonder what were for. Of course I would rather have the little band than two little silicone bags :thumbup:

I know, sick joke :banghead:

I never thought about a name, I may have to think about this since we will be togother so long. :(

Debbie you give so much insightful advice on this forum that I already view you as the samurai therapist-the conscious of the group / Maybe your band name could reflect that. Something like "freud" or the band could be your "ego" or your "shrink" shrink get it? lol:lol:

It must be those 2 years of therapy after my divorce when I discovered I had married my mother.:) Now that is one sick puppy!

Good thing I worked that out, still hate the ex, but accept my Mom for the person she is.

Honestly, I am not artistic. Give me an excel file and I can make it sing, but I have trouble with the art thing.:)

We tend to name everything in our house...all of the toys, stuffed animals..the cars, even my navigation system has a name. LOL

Why hadn't I thought of naming my band? I'll have to think on it a bit....

:rolleyes:

I'm thinking of a male name. Why? because you either REALLY love them, or REALLY hate them (from a woman's point of view). And when he's acting up, I'll say he's pms-ing, I tell my father and oldest son that all the time. Maybe Andy... my ex, was really fickle. And I hear the band can be that way.

I named my port but I thought I was the only one... Port sounded so nautical. I call my port Abby. Port Abby. I know it is silly but more personal.:smile:

Shrink! :lol:That's AWESOME! "my shrink says" "the shrink thinks" "I'll ask my shrink"

Someone should snap that name right up!

My band is named Stanley. Since I always refer to the band as a tool, my hubby decided he needed a "tool" name. The short story is that the slogan for Stanley Tools is "make something great" so that's what we named him. It's dorky, but I bought Stanley a silver baby spoon engraved with his name and birthdate, 8-28-08. I figure that I'll need to learn to eat itty-bitty bites in order to chew well enough, so I was going to get some baby spoons anyway. I decided to go with a fancy spoon when I was daydreaming one day about where I'll be a year or two from now. I plan to have Stanley's baby spoon mounted in a keepsake frame with a Before and an After pic. It'll make an interesting conversation piece.

Shrink :):lol::rolleyes: Seriously, Funny!!!!!

As much as I love Shrink, especially since I just had my Psyc Consult, I have to give you :thumbup: for Stanley. Stanley is a FANTASTIC name. Maybe I should name mine Waldo.

I was in High School. We were running the 50 yard dash and I ran my heart out. One VERY cute boy :tt1: started yelling 'GO WALDO GO":blushing:. Well all the Jocks were there, the name stuck, I had that damn nickname all through high school. :biggrin: I remember he came up to me during GRADUATION and apologized for giving me that nick name. :thumbdown:

It's about time I put Waldo to good use! :wink2:

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
