Do anyone have problems with low potassium after gastric surgery

please give me some feedback

I have not... the first few weeks post-op my NUT suggested making my own "sports drinks" by using SF drinks (like crystal lite) and buying "no salt-salt" because it has postassium.

I did. I ended up in the hospital 5 times for several different complications but the one constant was low potassium. The Dr. Finally put me on a supplement and I haven't had any problems since.

I went to the ER for a non-wls issue and blood panels were run and my potassium was low - not real bad but low . . I searched and found this . . Low potassium in the blood (hypokalemia) may result from many different conditions. The most common cause is excessive potassium loss in the urine or from the gastrointestinal tract, such as due to: Use of diuretics Impaired kidney function Excessive production of the hormone aldosterone (hyperaldosteronism) by the adrenal gland Excessive use of laxatives Eating disorders Severe vomiting or diarrhea Rarely, hypokalemia is due to not getting enough potassium in your diet. Potassium is an electrolyte that is critical to the function of nerve and muscles cells, including those in your heart. Most of the potassium in your body is inside your cells. So the levels of potassium in your blood may not reflect your total body potassium. Signs and symptoms of low potassium may include: Weakness Fatigue Muscle cramps Constipation Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) Treatment is directed at the underlying cause of the low potassium and may include potassium supplements. A very low potassium level is life-threatening. I searched to find potassium rich foods so that I could increase them and to see how the differed from my last blood draw. . . . . I have been eating more raisins and green vegetables. Hope that helps. Phenom
