Eating Timer

[Newme17 3,444]

Anyone with experience using an app (example attached) for timing of your meals, how long to chew, when to drink? Has it helped?

The drinking thing!! I had to do this for the first few months to remind myself to push liquids. It helped a lot if you're forgetful/busy. My main issue was at work because I don't always have access to a bathroom so I had to be real crafty on when I drank and didn't.

I'm forgetful and busy, so I tend to just, well, forget to eat, drink, etc. And when I do eat, I'm eating way too fast. So, I'm thinking to maybe try it out. ??? Not sure yet. Thank you for your input!

I haven't used this, but it's worth a shot!

So funny. I was just researching this myself. I'm going to school learning about app development. I already decided I'm going to take on making Bariatric-centric tools and apps as a personal project. A quality eating/meal timer is definitely on that list.

Not saying you should wait around for that lol! It's just surprising to me that there are so few apps aimed at WLS patients.

Yeah. I think it is. I going to purchase it and see about it. I guess I'll make updates on the app. We'll see how it goes. I've got maybe two to three months to get a hold of myself. The workout part is easy, it's my awful habits.

I just downloaded Baritastic & Bariatric IQ. Both free.

So far, it's ahh-ight. Too much to navigate when tired. So, for now, I'm happy for the timers.
