Years ago when my kids were little we watched the movie Kangaroo Jack. There was a guy named Jackie Leggs. My name is Jackie just spelled Jaci so Jacileggs was born. I also use it for most things.

Wls4me because one day out of frustration, after quitting weight watchers for me I said to my husband "weight loss surgery for me it is now". Not very creative

My hooker name however: Buffy Fifth Avenue. Sounds like I'm a high class hooker ?de1c

My name comes from my dream to one day be skinny and beautiful wearing skimpy clothes. I was a lap band to bypass revision so I finally feel this may happen

I usually go by Toxiclight, as that's my handle pretty much everywhere (my website is under that, and most of my art is produced under Toxiclight Art and Design), but I wanted something different for here. In the few months prior to coming here, I had started designing tattoos, and I drew a whole lot of infinity symbols and butterflies, and I can relate both to this journey. The commitment to a new lifestyle is eternal (infinite), and the butterfly refers to coming out of my cocoon of fat and being the beautiful person I was always intended to be,

Back in the day 18 years ago, I needed a name for an EBAY account. There was a document labled Production Action Request (PAR). I used the acronim and added my birth years. I have used par1959 as my go to since then. It could also be my over par score playing golf.

It is the simplest description of me, county + "gal" + zip code, to be honest I use it for websites I am not sure of, well nearly 10 months later I am still a BariatricPal.

I played fiddle a lot during my college years (helped pay tuition, books and food). For a short while, I even was part of a Celtic band and we played a few pro venues (read: paid), including show box in Seattle. One of my favorite busking places was on capital hill because people were so giving and colorful. Now that I am "grown up with responsibilities", I have not fiddled so much in the last 10 years because of family, work and other time commitments, but I would love to get the bug again to do it. I used to play all over the Seattle area at this jam session and that jam session, hopping from tavern to bookstore to eatery, usually given Guinness for our tunes. So that is where my user name comes from.

What a fun thread! Always good to hear the "rest" of everyone's story.

Many years ago I was the office manager for a group of automation engineers at a very large defense company. Their nickname for me was Empress of the Known Universe and Beyond (EKUB). Since then, I've defaulted to the Empress moniker whenever needing to set up a userid (other than my actual name) and since I live in Colorado, it made sense to add the Colo to the front.

Blessings!

      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.
