My name is Kathleen and everyone started calling me Kat a few years ago. My maiden name is the Polish word for cloud and my married name is the German word for shepherd.

Random thought-

Maybe I should change mine to my "hooker" name.

Name of first pet: Tina

Name of first street I lived on: Smithfield

TinaSmithfield. Has a nice ring to it.

I originally wanted to be Sleevie Wonder but it was taken. I just wanted anything that would replace Stevie with Sleevie. (reason still unknown even to me) So the only Stevie I could think of that particular evening was Stevie J. He was a very talented hip-hop music producer in the late 90's but has since fallen from grace and is now a lowly reality tv "star". I realized immediately after creating my new moniker that I would have much preferred to be known as Sleevie Nicks. BTW today I replaced the wasted cat pic with a real photo of myself in a fake cowboy hat!

OK, I had to interject that my hooker name would be Birdie St. Jude, which truly does sound hookerish. LOL.

My name comes from the word "bonafide", which means authentic or true. My name is Bonnie, hence the bonniefide. I'm bonniefide on everything... email, Facebook, tumblr... everything. :)

"outwithbenjiboi" is a handle I've used since 2005, when I came out of the closet to my family, friends and colleagues as a genderqueer, masculine-identified butch. "Ben" is the "boy/boi" I should have been, and the name of my inner child that I'm re-parenting into the strong butch that I am today.

Benji -- the nickname for young Ben -- has been busting "out" in myriad ways my entire life. This surgery is just one more way that's happening. And my handle is the way I continually give credit to Ben for his courage and for all of the decisions that have made me whole.

Everyone calls me "JB:" initials that stand for my given name + my chosen name -- "J"en/"B"en.

Hope this doesn't blow too many minds.....

I wasn't too creative and probably a little bitter when I came here from the lapband forum.

By the way, we don't call it a "hooker" name; we call it a "drag" name. And mine is "Freddie Elk!"

My wife's is awesome: "Brandy Redberry"

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
