Hi, My name is Samantha and I live in Edmonton. I have been working towards the Gastric Sleeve for almost 2 years now and its been a struggle. I'm not what you would see as obese. I hold my weight very proportionately and dress for my size, so everyone I have spoken to about the surgery (except my best friend and a couple family members) have been very judge-y. Telling me I don't need it and that I just need to work out more and stop eating so much. I don't eat over my daily allotted calories and I am quite active. 

I know this is a similar story to everyone on this forum, I just need to write it down for myself, mostly because I think my bestie and family are getting a little sick of hearing it! lol. I am on my Pre-Op Liquid diet now and my surgery is scheduled for March 16. I am freaking out a bit and need to calm down. The liquid diet isn't terribly challenging. Although a friend brought in my favorite food to share with me on the first day of the diet and I couldn't tell him why I couldn't eat it, just that I couldn't. I was very tempted. 

Getting the call for the date of the surgery was a little shocking as I got a cancellation spot and it was actually LESS than the 2 weeks I should have had to do the liquid diet. Since I have been going through the Weight Wise Clinic, and have done all of the modules of learning and stuff, I think I'm prepared but there is always that little voice nagging you in your head that you still have no clue what you are doing. 

Well, there is my rant. If you read it, Thanks!
