Anyone use an app to remind you to drink Water? I've tried out a few free ones but still not happy. Any suggestions? I am will to pay for an app that comes well recommended.

Thanks!

Tara - I use an app to track my Water but haven't looked into anything to remind me. My aunt also had lapband done and what her doc did is program the alarm on her smart phone for every one often to drink water and to get up and walk around a bit. This has been working well for her. Not sure if it would be an option for you? Try setting multiple alarms over the course of the day and I think after they go off they automatically stay on for the next day so you don't have to reset them daily...at least that's how my alarm works on my iPhone. I would have to manually turn it off if I didn't want it to go on at the same time the next day.

I've been using the timer on my phone. Take drink and set it for 10 minutes. It works unless I'm not at my desk and then I have no idea when I last drank something. I know that sounds silly. But I can get up to go to the printer and get pulled into an hour long meeting easily. I just can't seem to keep track.

Tara - I hear you on that. Same thing happens to me at work. But I suppose in that case an app wouldn't help either unless we had our phones and Water bottles with us constantly. When I have the opportunity (aka being at my desk) I try to drink as much as I can. Or on my drive to work. I've got the 64oz down now but I want to increase. I think you will get there. We just need to get into the habit.

Yeah. I was hoping to find an app that had more details than just the timer on the phone. Hopefully someone can recommend one.
