How did you time out your water intake?

[Photo925 100]

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 have an app on my phone that reminds me every hour, its called Water your body.

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!
