I read a thread that said if you don't get enough of _________ , you will begin to get muscle cramps.

My back is cramping. My feet, my legs. It sucks.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Hi :) I've always heard not getting enough potassium leads to muscle cramps.....maybe that's what it said in the thread you're talking about?

I try to be on top of my Vitamins but I'll be honest and say that I don't always get them all in. Potassium huh? Maybe I'll try some banana baby food. : ( my back is KILLING me. I work on my feet 8 hours a day and cramps just don't fit in to my schedule

When I went back for my 6 week checkup I told my dr that I was having cramps in my calves every time I tried to do my walking, he said it was from drinking to much Water and he told me to start drinking Powerade Zero, it started helping me by the next day. I'm now 6 months out and don't have that problem anymore.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
