LRD liquid consumption - anyone know of an app?



Recommended Posts

I started my LRD today. First of ten days (VSG scheduled for April 10). I have to drink three to four shakes plus 64+ ounces of liquid. I was wondering if anyone knows of an app I could use that would track my liquid intake so that I know how much I'm taking in (I want to make sure it's enough). I could be old-fashioned and just write it down, but apps make life easier, which is why we use them, right? :-)

My Nut said to buy a case of bottled H20. 4- 16.9 oz bottles a day= my need. It was a helpful visual for me to track. I just refill the bottles for a day before recycling and setting out another 4. I aslo use My Fitness Pal to track when my Water as well

I just downloaded the hydrate app. You can track intake in different measurements and even set reminders to drink. This is going to be great for me at work post op

I work part-time in a coffee shop, so when I work I usually fill a large cup with Water and then mark off when I finish, but even that's a flawed system, since I don't always finish. And on days when I don't work or when I'm working in my office or from home, that's what I'm most concerned. I need to figure out a system where I can remind myself to drink, because I'm really bad about that. If there was an app that would send me a notification when it's time to drink more liquid, or that would warn me at a certain point that I'm not up to par on my requirement, I think that would be super helpful.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
