Potassium/electrolytes?

I seem to be low in potassium according to My Fitness Pal which i have been using for three months. Now i am on pre op liquid diet for 2weeks...it is worse...i feel weak espec after exercise.

Any suggestions on electrolyte drinks? Do they help?

    Sport drinks hmmm, ok...the sugar in them don't make you dump? I really like Powerade and just assumed that they would be off limited after WLS.

    I have drank one of those that is like zero calories or 50 cal did fine. Drank the powerade slushy from sonic and dumped horribly.. Learned my lesson there.
