I am having my surgery on the 29th and I just started my second week of my liquid diet. I am down 12.5 pounds and have 107.5 to go. I was going to get the realize band but have, at the last minute, opted for the lapband ap system. I liked the realize support but when I saw it inflated and looking a bit triangular I liked the look of the ap better. I am very excited about starting this journey. Currently I am just working out with my Wii Fit which is quite a work out! I have purchase a heart monitor to keep me in zone as per the exercise physiologist at the docs. I also use a really cool pedometer to keep track of my steps. I am a bit underwhelmed doing my post op shopping. I am finding nothing but artifically sweet things and things that are very salty. I am spending this week making broth, Soup and home-made popsicles. Glad to be here and be a part of the September folks
