I'm finding that I have to do some research on my own. I also ask a lot of questions. Typically you see low potassium levels if you have vomiting and frequent stools. But the body still needs more that what we give it so typically the surgeon puts you on vitamins.

I had surgery 9/15/16. It's been really frustrating. I still can't drink more that 20oz a day. I get IV fluids a few times a week. The Vitamins make me nauseas and most foods heavier than the soft/ mushy diet hurt. On top of that the gas and constipation in the last week have been killer.
