    Well once again I am set for my baseline appt on Friday and the procedure nov 15. They are doing our labs, baseline, and meeting with the dietician all in the same day. I am praying nothing changes and it is a go this time. Did they give you some type of exercise plan/ guide to go by with your diet?

    @smithebeth I will keep my fingers/toes/legs all crossed for you. The only exercise guide I was giving was to aim for 10, 000 steps a day. My dietician said that realistically, start with what I was currently doing (closer to 5,000) and aim to increase it every week, even if it was just by 100 steps extra and try to work up to 10,000. On a good, active day, I can get close to or hit 10,000. I do Zumba two days a week, so I at least have two active days. I try to get outside and move or go to the gym at least once more during the week.

    I completed the baseline on Friday and the procedure is definitely set for Tuesday. I'm excited and a little nervous! Was your first 3 days hard?

    Today 2/6/17 is my procedure date. I'm in the second study in which the device will be in place for a year. I will keep you all updated on my progress.

    @lovlylady126 Good luck today! You'll do fine! @smithebeth I won't lie, the first three days were tough. I had a cold when I went for my procedure, so that didn't help. I think the hardest part was having to drink all my calories. I got bored and didn't look forward to meals.
