Anybody have a hydration tracker app they like? Most of the ones I've found you have to put it in by glass or bottle, and I really want to keep track of each ounce since I'm only post op day 3. I want to make sure I'm getting at least 48 oz over the course of the day. Thanks!

There is several apps......I mainly use my fitbit application. In the beginning I used an app on my phone "Water tracker" it is good and you can set up alarms to remind you. You can also purchase glasses that are marked to remind you. I bought an insulated one online that is marked so many ounces every hour.

I bought a 72oz jug an challenge myself everyday to finish it. Apps are good for many things but I feel good ol' competition works best for me.

I use Hydro Coach,

It lets you put the info in my ounce. It has suggested ounces and also a place to put in something different. It can also be set up to remind you to drink or if you're lagging behind, which is nice. It lets you set when the reminders will start and end during the day as well.

Thanks! I will check those out. So far I'm doing well with getting my Fluid in, but it may be more challenging when I return to work. Want to plan ahead.

I feel like a dunce because have a hydracoach that I have never used because I can't for the life of me figure out how to set the darn thing. I have a Water bottle with the markers on the side and just use that.

@@This New Kim - I can't get the thing to switch modes so I can enter my weight and info, etc... I get the thing blinking and that''s it. I'm just glad I didn't pay for this because then I'd really be upset.

On mine there's a menu tab at the top left where you can go to your profile and put in your information. Do you have three bars at the top left? If so, click that and it should open up an option to go to your profile.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
