I am sure someone probably posted this before- but if not- Everyone should check out the hidrate spark bottle. I have the second generation and I love this thing.

It connects to a phone app, counts your amounts for you- reminds you to drink throughout the day, and even flashes at you as a visual reminder if you aren't looking at your phone.

I have been trying mine since I found out I was going to have surgery and I am way ahead in the Water that I used to drink.

I have a link if you PM for 10 percent off- but please know that I also get a percentage off my next bottle...

If you aren't looking to order online, I found mine at Target in the USA- I am not sure about internationally.

However this has been an amazing tool to use- and I thought it was worth sharing.

Another great tool I bought that I am loving is the Tespo Vitamin dispenser - again if you are interested I can send a link that I have to give you 20.00 off the machine or first order for friends.

I am using the sleep pods and Vitamins pre op and I am really loving sleeping through the night, and the energy pod does actually keep me boosted working.

I will admit I haven't tried the bariatric formula yet- as my surgery isn't until 10/29/2018.

I just thought I would take the time to share these two items, and let you know I find them pretty valueable.

I do believe the only way to get Tespo right now for those who might as is online.

Again I do not want to post links here in the forum- but if you PM me - I can send you refferal codes.

Otherwise check the products out on your own, and see if they could be a tool for you on your journey! :)

Also if anyone else knows of any other cool tools or things to use- please add to this topic.

As I would like to find something to help with portions.

I just use Mango app along with My Period app to remind me to take my Vitamins and Water. No need to spend extra money on a water bottle to let you know via app that it's time to drink.

I think the best plan of attack for hydration post-op will be to just wear workout clothes and carry a Water bottle everywhere sipping on it all day. People will always think you just finished working out or doing yoga (2 things that are super cool these days) AND you get your water in. Win win! LOL

Please don’t invest too much money/stockpile Vitamins, Protein, etc., pre-op. You may be surprised by the things your post op stomach may not tolerate.

      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!!
