Any suggestions on a good app?



Recommended Posts

Getting ready to start my pre op diet for surgery July 25 and want to start on a good track for Water intake etc. Can any one suggest a good app that will remind me every 15 mins. get busy at work a completely forget to drink or eat. Any help how you start on track would be helpful. Thanks

I use Baritastic, it's great for pre and post op, especially post op. But I always set a reminder on my iPhone, not the timer, the reminders just make a ding noise vs the annoying alarm. I know there is a some specific Water apps but I like the all in one Baritastic app

Good luck! The liquid diet is like bariatric boot camp, you'll be great by day 3, I had a 2 week full liquids only pre-op diet. The first few days are tough, I'm not going to lie, but by day 3 it gets easier. I didn't work so I just drove myself crazy!

I also use Baritastic- its great with measuring food (with all nutritional info), Water, weight, body measurements, etc. I'm pre-op and just started my liquid diet today, but so far I really like it. It also has a timer and reminders to set for when you're post op- reminders to eat, timers to slowly chew food, etc.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
