LRD liquid consumption - anyone know of an app?



Recommended Posts

I started my LRD today. First of ten days (VSG scheduled for April 10). I have to drink three to four shakes plus 64+ ounces of liquid. I was wondering if anyone knows of an app I could use that would track my liquid intake so that I know how much I'm taking in (I want to make sure it's enough). I could be old-fashioned and just write it down, but apps make life easier, which is why we use them, right? :-)

My Nut said to buy a case of bottled H20. 4- 16.9 oz bottles a day= my need. It was a helpful visual for me to track. I just refill the bottles for a day before recycling and setting out another 4. I aslo use My Fitness Pal to track when my Water as well

I just downloaded the hydrate app. You can track intake in different measurements and even set reminders to drink. This is going to be great for me at work post op

I work part-time in a coffee shop, so when I work I usually fill a large cup with Water and then mark off when I finish, but even that's a flawed system, since I don't always finish. And on days when I don't work or when I'm working in my office or from home, that's what I'm most concerned. I need to figure out a system where I can remind myself to drink, because I'm really bad about that. If there was an app that would send me a notification when it's time to drink more liquid, or that would warn me at a certain point that I'm not up to par on my requirement, I think that would be super helpful.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
