Is there an APP for that - "Reminder Drink More Water"



Recommended Posts

I am one week post opp. and I am having difficulties drinking the required amount of Water.

How does everyone remember to drink up?

I am looking for an app that will beep/buzz every hour or 20 minutes to remind me to drink. Is there such an app.

Yes there is a really good one and it's on Android or iPhone. Search for "Hydro". The icon looks like a blue drop of Water. You can set it to remind you as often as you need and it keeps a running total of all the oz. you drink throughout the day.

Here's my trick that doesn't require an app... I bought two 24-oz Tervis tumblers (and handles) at Bed, Bath & Beyond – one for home and one for work. I fill one with Crystal Light Decaf iced tea about 45 minutes after Breakfast and sip on it all morning, finishing it 30 minutes or more before lunch. I fill it again about 45 minutes after lunch and sip on it all afternoon, making sure to finish at least 30 minutes before dinner. 45 minutes after dinner I fill one more and sip it throughout the evening. And voila – 72 ounces of fluid! Weekends are a little trickier, but I take one with me in the car while running errands or whatever. The same basic schedule applies. One between Breakfast and lunch, one between lunch and dinner, and one after dinner. Once you get in the routine, it's easy to get all your Fluid in every day. Plus bonuses for coffee and hot tea. Good luck!

I used the alarm feature on my phone. Set it for every 15 minutes. Used it for about a week and it drove me crazy, so now I basically do the same thing Rogofulm does. Fill up the glass in the a.m., another in the afternoon and one or two more at home. Luckily, I've always been a big Water drinker, so my biggest issue is getting in the Protein drinks and trying to actually eat something 3 times a day.

well, i suppose the Awesome Blossom app. It not only reminds you to drink Water also helps you to count your steps everyday. It's really useful. Plus, the more Water you drink, the more beautiful flower you choose is. It combines growing tree and drinking water.

I did lose 2 kg within 3 weeks thanks to this app

you can search on google play or iOS.

      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!
