Officially Not Fatty Matty

Update: surgery went well according to doctor. Had a hernia that was repaired. To be honest I’m in a lot more pain than I thought I would be, all centered on my stomach. I can feel the gas pain in my shoulders but it’s not bad at all compared to my stomach / diaphragm. So so thirsty. Waiting for ice chips. Happy I did it and I know it’ll get better. Just having a hard time right now. My girlfriend is here with me and is beyond supportive and I feel so lucky to have her in my life. Will update again in a day or so. Thank you all.

Heading to Mexico this morning, surgery tomorrow (12th) if all goes as planned. 7 day pre-op went well, 12.6lbs down. Ready to get this done. Will update when ready. Thanks all for the support!

Dear Marvelous Matty,
my late mother’s birthday was June 12th so I hope that it will be an auspicious day for you.
i have changed your name in my response to you because it takes courage to start on this weight loss path and it takes determination but it is so worth it. In a few months after your surgery you will have to change your name any way as you get thinner and healthier.
Good luck on your adventure. On June 3rd I have my nine month f/u appointment and I have lost 95 pounds.

I’m scheduled for June 12th so no photos... yet. I just want to say all of you look so amazing! I can’t wait to post some pictures myself. No exaggeration, I only own black dri-fit shirts (3xl so the “fit” part isn’t really accurate) and it’s the only thing I’ll wear. My kids can’t remember me wearing anything else, so much so the jokes about it died off years ago. One of the things I’m most looking forward to is some color and variety in what I’m comfortable wearing.

I’m scheduled for June 12, can’t wait. Hitting some stores tomorrow to pre test some different Protein solutions. Mostly worried about Water intake. I drink between 1-2 liters of water a night in my sleep. Since I was a child I can’t fall asleep unless I have water next to me. I drink large gulps in my sleep so I’ll have to make some changes to ensure I don’t do that.
