Is there an APP for that - "Reminder Drink More Water"



Recommended Posts

I am one week post opp. and I am having difficulties drinking the required amount of Water.

How does everyone remember to drink up?

I am looking for an app that will beep/buzz every hour or 20 minutes to remind me to drink. Is there such an app.

Yes there is a really good one and it's on Android or iPhone. Search for "Hydro". The icon looks like a blue drop of Water. You can set it to remind you as often as you need and it keeps a running total of all the oz. you drink throughout the day.

Here's my trick that doesn't require an app... I bought two 24-oz Tervis tumblers (and handles) at Bed, Bath & Beyond – one for home and one for work. I fill one with Crystal Light Decaf iced tea about 45 minutes after Breakfast and sip on it all morning, finishing it 30 minutes or more before lunch. I fill it again about 45 minutes after lunch and sip on it all afternoon, making sure to finish at least 30 minutes before dinner. 45 minutes after dinner I fill one more and sip it throughout the evening. And voila – 72 ounces of fluid! Weekends are a little trickier, but I take one with me in the car while running errands or whatever. The same basic schedule applies. One between Breakfast and lunch, one between lunch and dinner, and one after dinner. Once you get in the routine, it's easy to get all your Fluid in every day. Plus bonuses for coffee and hot tea. Good luck!

I used the alarm feature on my phone. Set it for every 15 minutes. Used it for about a week and it drove me crazy, so now I basically do the same thing Rogofulm does. Fill up the glass in the a.m., another in the afternoon and one or two more at home. Luckily, I've always been a big Water drinker, so my biggest issue is getting in the Protein drinks and trying to actually eat something 3 times a day.

well, i suppose the Awesome Blossom app. It not only reminds you to drink Water also helps you to count your steps everyday. It's really useful. Plus, the more Water you drink, the more beautiful flower you choose is. It combines growing tree and drinking water.

I did lose 2 kg within 3 weeks thanks to this app

you can search on google play or iOS.

      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.
