Any suggestions on a good app?



Recommended Posts

Getting ready to start my pre op diet for surgery July 25 and want to start on a good track for Water intake etc. Can any one suggest a good app that will remind me every 15 mins. get busy at work a completely forget to drink or eat. Any help how you start on track would be helpful. Thanks

I use Baritastic, it's great for pre and post op, especially post op. But I always set a reminder on my iPhone, not the timer, the reminders just make a ding noise vs the annoying alarm. I know there is a some specific Water apps but I like the all in one Baritastic app

Good luck! The liquid diet is like bariatric boot camp, you'll be great by day 3, I had a 2 week full liquids only pre-op diet. The first few days are tough, I'm not going to lie, but by day 3 it gets easier. I didn't work so I just drove myself crazy!

I also use Baritastic- its great with measuring food (with all nutritional info), Water, weight, body measurements, etc. I'm pre-op and just started my liquid diet today, but so far I really like it. It also has a timer and reminders to set for when you're post op- reminders to eat, timers to slowly chew food, etc.

      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.
