Has anyone come across a good "timer" app that can be set to go off every 15 minutes & also every 3 hours to remind us to drink our Water & eat our meals? I've found a couple but they have to be re-set each time.

Had my pre op today. Found out the following:

Doc gave me go and eat a good meal tonite for tomorrow you shall die...t, LOL

10 days of Optifast 5 a day. And clears the last two days

He uses a 40 bougie stables up tight

All his pt have good weight loss and little of the intolerances.

He uses the triple row stapler and does not over sew or seal the line (feels it causes more complications than not doing it

I feel much better

LOL - I answered my own question by searching more. I found a neat (free!) one in Apple's App Store called "Timer" by App Cubby. It's very simple but it does exactly what I need it to. Although I can't set a RECURRING alarm, it will count up from the alarm time so you know how much time has elapsed since the alarm so you can reset as needed. And you can set up to 12 alarms & they are all customizable.

Hello all!

I've been reading through these forums for a few weeks now and finally I decided to join this amazing and supportive community.

This is my first post and I'm excited (and admittedly a little scared) to share that my surgery date has just been scheduled for Oct 25th! Susan, I hope it's not too late to add me to your "OctoSleevers" list!!! (I love that name BTW)

Thank you to all for helping me finally take charge of my life.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
