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"

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
