I was just on this website reviewing an automatic refill on my supplements that I CAN NOT afford this week. I honestly don't remember signing up for the automatic refill program but oh well, the damage is done and my Vitamins are on the way to my house. $75 dollars that could have gone in my gas tank! LOL

Anywho... I noticed they have a program that sends a text message to your phone to remind you to take your vitamins. What a great idea! Has anyone tried it out yet? It looks like I need to go in my PC to set it up but I was just wondering how dependable it is.

that would be an awesome app to have, that is my biggest worry for after surgery is how to be sure and get all the Vitamins in. I think the Protein and fluids will be ok but the vitamins I worry about.

if we had a message everytime we were to drink, protein, vitamins, walk, rest our poor phones would be worn out lol. but you have to love modern technology

Yes, I'm terrible about remembering to take my supplements. I know a few people say they set alarms but I can never remember to do that either! LOL :-/

I am bad at remembering too. I have small containers, seven of them that I line up each week and put my weeks worth of vitimans in them, so each work day when I am getting my food packed I just grab a container of vitimans. During the weekends I just put one out on the kitchen counter and every time I pass I take a vitiman :) This works great for me !!

Yes, I do the same thing. I pack my Vitamins for the day in little plastic containers when I go to work. 75% of the time I come home from work with them untaken. I'm just so busy working I forget. I need to find a solution!

I use an Android app called "Anytimer " that will track meds and message you if you want.

      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.
