How did you time out your water intake?



Recommended Posts

I know that we need to be taking in a certain about of fluids in certain time intervals after surgery. I've heard mention of some apps that people use to remind them to drink or to help track this, but I can't remember the names of them. So my question is, how did you time yourself to remember to keep drinking Water?? Did you set a timer in your phone, use the clock for reference, or is there an app that someone has found helpful for this? TIA

I just kept a water bottle (or Protein shake) in hand and never stopped sipping all day from wake up to bedtime. It was definitely a full time job to get in all my fluids in the first couple months and that had turned into a strong habit. I actually kind of panic if I don't have Water readily available so I make sure I always have a full bottle before leaving the house.

i am the same as Kindle. I wake up and the FIRST thing is get my Water bottle out. i drink 10-15 oz during my first 30 minutes awake then go straight to my 30 oz Protein shake/milk.

i refill my Water bottle with various flavors of crystal light and keep it with me all day and just keep sipping.

car trips have been VERY different, in the past the first thing hubs and i did was stop by the filling station for a big guzzler (pop) before we embarked on a roadtrip. now we have our waters and head out!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
