New here and have an app question



Recommended Posts

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 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

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.
