Best Kegel App?

Posted by undetectable @undetectable, Aug 14, 2023

Inquiring for my husband (71, G8, PSMA PET clean, surgery scheduled 9/7). Has been doing his kegels religiously, but would like an app to keep him on schedule. What worked for you?

I'm just reading some of Vanita Gaglani's book.
In the section under food & drink to avoid, she lists:

flavoured milk
carbonated drinks
tea
coffee
chocolate
citrus fruits

dairy products
ketchup
mayonnaise
butter
grains
cheese
most breads
tomatoes
ice cream
cookies
potato chips
canned soup

That's my whole diet.
Kill me now.

Yeah, the dietary restrictions really suck! I had such a healthy diet with great BM’s until this radiation low fiber diet. Cannot wait until I can eat good food again!

I'm seeing the surgeon in an hour, for post-op news & pathology results.
I have a list of questions - including was I allowed the coffee I just had with brunch.

The surgeon just said forget all that - if it didn't irritate your bladder before surgery, it shouldn't after.
He said I can eat/drink whatever I want.
I celebrated by buying bags of oranges & apples. Now I can use my juicer again.

I only live once. Eat and drink what I want. Too many other things to worry aabout. Enjoy life and be happy I am still alive.
