My last entry before surgery. The death of a FatMan
15 hours to go until I need to be at hospital
The last few months have been hard, but rewarding.
Today I tried on a pair of shorts, 4 months ago they were so tight they cut into my stomach, (I wore them mainly swimming)
Today I tried them off, and they literally fall off me now (the knot is so tight I need to undo it so I can tighten up the shorts.
I've also gone from a massive 12xl to a (still massive) 9XL in 4 months.
While I have seen in some pieces of clothing the difference, the shorts were the biggest realisation of what I have achieved so far.
I am looking forward to sharing some before and after photos, but not right now, I will wait until I hit the 200kg mark.
So well that's about it from me, I can't wait for tomorrow, even tho it brings alot of unknown, I am pumped, I am ready.. lets do this.
Thanks to Steem Community for all the support and to my friends and family who constantly keep in contact, its been an amazing start to my final journey.
There is no post tomorrow, I will be out of it for alot and there may not be one on the 21st either, but lets see what the future holds.

Really proud of you, Paul. They do so much training to be doctors, its insane. It's not the end, its the start.
Can't wait to see those pics.
Given your fantastic efforts with losing weight without the surgery, is there a reason why you still need it, since your lifestyle changes are working without it?

Hey,
Oddly I was waiting for this question :)
Currently I am on shakes with only 1 meal a day.
It's not a long term solution and can cause some other health problems.
The surgery is a great boost that will allow me to have a regular controlled diet (and allow me to enjoy food in smaller potions) as opposed to now where I have to be very strict and be on shakes.
The surgery is just another tool in the war chest.
All the best for the surgery tomorrow! Ask the anesthesiologist if they need anything while you're out. :)
Dude. Dad jokes.
