    I use the bariatric pal app... it has a chewing timer! It also has an alarm for when it is time to eat and drink![/quote

    I have the app where can I find it!

    When you first open the app, it is on the bottom right in blue. It says timer... once you select it, you can choose what you want timed.

    I don't have it in my app.

    Do you have the Baritastic app or the bariatricpal downloaded? I have the Baritastic app and it is on there.

    I do.

    I have the BP app, and it's not on that.
