KristenLe 5,979 Posted August 25, 2016 Drink more and try something with electrolytes and broth. It could be dehydration or potassium deficiency. Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cindyw41 761 Posted August 25, 2016 My pre-op diet was at least 100 grams of Protein per day. Did you start taking your multi Vitamins yet? With just consuming Protein shakes you may want to start them pre-op. You could be low on potassium. My doctor suggested it for me.
