I went to the gastric Dr today to check on my surgery.. Everything went well he was happy to see the weight loss and to know about the walking.. I let him know my potassium was low cause my PCP and already called me that morning and upped it to 100 mg a day... Well after seeing him I had to go see the dietitian and she told me I couldn't have the frozen sugar free yogurt anymore or the tomato soup.. I said so basically I'm on a clear liquid diet she said yes besides the protein shakes.. Then you should of said that from the beginning.. OK I can deal with that I only have a week left.. Then went and done pre op.. That seem to take forever.. So I get home and not a hr after I get home does the gastric Dr office call me.. My potassium in critical and he upped it 4 more pills.. Like 10 pills isn't enough.. So now I am taking 14 potassium pills a day and I have to do blood work on Monday and we will see what he says about surgery on Monday.. OK so Ill take the 14 pills along with the 1 pills I have for my bladder the 2 magnesium the 2 vitamin d3 the 1 multivitamin and the 2 calcium pills... Ill leave the water pills alone... I weighed in at the Gastric Dr's office at 288lbs 1 pound less then what my scales say at home.. YAY very excited about that.. But the thing that really made my day is putting on a pair of Jeans that have always been tight since I bought them yrs ago.. And knowing that I didn't have to lay on the bed to button or zip them and feeling so good...So as Jason said if its gods will I will get this potassium level up by Monday and still be ready for surgery on the 17th.. Needing prayers.. Thank you...
