Hi everyone! First time posting I start my liquid diet in 3 days (for 1 week) and my surgery is scheduled for April 7th .

I currently use MyFitnessPal to track food and Water, I was wondering if you used an app to track pain meds and water intake (especially for the first few weeks post-op). I want to make sure I don't miss pain pills, Vitamins l and that I'm drinking enough liquids.

Thanks!!

I don't know about an app, but I do use the "alarm" function on my phone for when I need to take vitamins and my BC. I have it set to repeat daily at the same time.

That would be kind of annoying for water intake, but you could probably use it for pain meds.

PS: Good luck with your surgery

I downloaded one called Baritastic that I believe has trackers for that. Good luck!

I am using the calendar feature on my phone to remind me when to eat, drink, and take my meds

I use one called "Round". And I love it. It's made specifically to track medicines. You enter all you me dines and it'll send you a reminder it has a nice clock like interface With a list feature that color codes the medicines green if you've taken, blue if it's time to take and red if you've skipped. I like that as I am intentionally skipping painkiller doses as I begin to heal

Thanks everyone! I am just so nervous/excited, but reading about all your success stories is easing some of my fears
