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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
