Low potassium level!?!?

Has anyone else has this problem? My surgery is scheduled for March 31st and if I don't get it up before then won't be able to have surgery. Just wondered if anyone else had this issue and how long it took it to come up?

I haven;t had this issue. Did they give you any recommendations on how to pull those levels up? I know bananas are high in potassium (but also high in sugar), as are coconut Water and gatorade which are both lower cal/sugar ways to get potassium. I think some leafy greens are good for potassium as well. Let me go google.

Here ya go!

Thank you! Mine wasn't incredibly low. I think normal is 3.5 and mine was 3.0. So I basically have a week to get it up .5. lol. Hopefully my pcp is going to give me a supplement. Thanks for all your help!
