Good Morning Buddies,
I was AWOL last week . I was having some issues and ended up at the dr. office on thursday.
Found out I was dehydrated and that i have low potassium.

Tried the horsepills for potassium over the weekend and could not take them. Had to call the dr. this morning so I can try the liquid. (my level is very low).  So this morning for breakfast I have munching on a banana.

Also having acid reflux issues.. UHHHH.. I never had these issues before surgery, but dr. will get me straightened out. 

On the positive note.. Down a total of 90lbs since starting my journey 7 months ago!

Have a wonderful day buddies.. check in with ya'll later today.

I am glad you checked in Ledaizey, sorry you are not feeling well.  I have seen the potassium horsepills.  They are very large.  Hope your potassium and fluid levels improve quickly.

Congrats on the successfull weight loss.  Catch up later on.  Hugs

Ohhh you poor thing. I had the acid refulux before surgery, and still have it if I do not take my meds for it daily. It is miserable! usually after RNY there isn't enough acid to bother us at all.. but a few of us get lucky.. HA! (Not so lucky huh?)

I sure hope your potassium levels improve quickly! usually if you put the potassium tablets in a liquid they swell then turn to a slurry, then you can drink it. May depend upon the brand you are on. I think most will do this tho. Maybe you can try this.

Feel better soon! thanks for checking in.
WOWWWWWWWWWWW on the wonderful weight loss! you are doing awesome!
