Should I take Potassium w/o my Dr telling me to?

I'm almost 3 months post-op. I've been reading about the importance of potassium. BUT I won't be seeing my surgeon for 6 months from now and I won't have my blood work done until a week before that. So, what I wanted to know is should I get myself some potassium pills? Or do I need to contact my surgeon? Also, I can't seem to tolerate bananas; and even if I did, I can't tolerate protein supplements so every meal is protein, protein, protein. What would you guys do? Thanks~
