Hi everybody - I would like to share something that I do becaues I firmly believe in the power of positive thinking. Every few days or so I spend a few minutes rubbing my belly and affirming that everything is going to go as well as can be. No erosion, no slipping, and satsifactory weight loss along with my skin will not sag.

Yesterday I was doing this and kept calling my band - Band - I know you will work - we can do this together etc etc. I realize it all sounds a bit silly, but here we are back to the power of positive thinking and I need all the motivation I can get. It also helps me to feel connected to it. Well all of a sudden it came to me - I've been doing this for several months but instead of just calling it band - I decided to name it so I could actually have a personal relationship with it since we are now partners for life.

Sooooo I have named my band BAMBI - LOL - that's the name that came to me and popped in my head yesterday - I felt it was saying we're in it for the long haul and just calling it Band wasn't doing it.

I want to encourage everyone to take your personal band a bit farther by nameing it - now lets see what kind of silly names we can come up with here!

From now on I'll be referring my band as Bambi Silly I know but lets go with it!!! Who's with me?

I'm thinking of the name 'Precious'

Well, since my car's name is Rosita I will stick with the Spanish theme and name my band "Bandida" but hopefully she won't be too much of a rascal!

I named my band, Nike. She is recognized as the Goddess of Victory in Greek mythology.

we call her "Nicki"

I think mine should be called ....Lifesaver!!!!! Its for sure its added at least 10 yrs back to my life aleady!!

My husband named mine Coot. As in Bandicoot.

I really don't think i have picked a name for mine yet..HeShe is kinda upset with me this week ...I happen to have my very first PBStuck on Sat..So this week my band is laying in bed with a towel on its head..

A name will come to me sooner or later

Hi, I'm Jess and my band is Faith (because she's given me so much of it). Nice to meet you all

I named my band Donali after our very own Donali. When she lost her band due to erosion I decided that I would name it after her so I would remember her story and never take my band for granted.

mine is cybil...because I never know from one meal to the next what to expect!

Chewy, must I explain?

Lately, I could give my band a lot of bad names...none of them sweet and loving LOL! It's been hurting like hell, and very sore. It's also swollen in that area, but no redness. Fickle? Bandit? Crazy? I just don't know. A while back, I probably would have named it something like Lovey, Sweety, Lifesaver, Hope, Angel, or a slew of other names but not here lately. Anyone have any ideas? And, and ideas on why it may be like this?

Thanks

I don't have my band yet, but, I am gonna call it "BB" There is a 2-fold reason for this. My friend and co-worker is BB and she inspired me to have the surgery after her success. Also, BB stands for "Blessed Band". This is such a blessing for me. God has made a way for me to have this surgery. Approved on first letter to UHC!! Thank You Jesus!

I think I will call my band Will.... cuz with this band I "Will" succeed, I "Will" have "Will"power, and I "Will" be a better me.

I think I'll call mine phoenix, like the bird re-emerges from the ashes, I am re-emerging from my fat suit... and my life is renewed thanks to a healthier, happier me.

I'll name it nike to be possitive.... maybe it'll help

it has nothing to do with the shoe, its something very precious to me that I am even crying right now At the thought of naming it nike then possibly killing it.
