I am sure someone probably posted this before- but if not- Everyone should check out the hidrate spark bottle. I have the second generation and I love this thing.

It connects to a phone app, counts your amounts for you- reminds you to drink throughout the day, and even flashes at you as a visual reminder if you aren't looking at your phone.

I have been trying mine since I found out I was going to have surgery and I am way ahead in the Water that I used to drink.

I have a link if you PM for 10 percent off- but please know that I also get a percentage off my next bottle...

If you aren't looking to order online, I found mine at Target in the USA- I am not sure about internationally.

However this has been an amazing tool to use- and I thought it was worth sharing.

Another great tool I bought that I am loving is the Tespo Vitamin dispenser - again if you are interested I can send a link that I have to give you 20.00 off the machine or first order for friends.

I am using the sleep pods and Vitamins pre op and I am really loving sleeping through the night, and the energy pod does actually keep me boosted working.

I will admit I haven't tried the bariatric formula yet- as my surgery isn't until 10/29/2018.

I just thought I would take the time to share these two items, and let you know I find them pretty valueable.

I do believe the only way to get Tespo right now for those who might as is online.

Again I do not want to post links here in the forum- but if you PM me - I can send you refferal codes.

Otherwise check the products out on your own, and see if they could be a tool for you on your journey! :)

Also if anyone else knows of any other cool tools or things to use- please add to this topic.

As I would like to find something to help with portions.

I just use Mango app along with My Period app to remind me to take my Vitamins and Water. No need to spend extra money on a water bottle to let you know via app that it's time to drink.

I think the best plan of attack for hydration post-op will be to just wear workout clothes and carry a Water bottle everywhere sipping on it all day. People will always think you just finished working out or doing yoga (2 things that are super cool these days) AND you get your water in. Win win! LOL

Please don’t invest too much money/stockpile Vitamins, Protein, etc., pre-op. You may be surprised by the things your post op stomach may not tolerate.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
