    Totally normal. A nurse friend told me to get drops for my water that contain magnesium and electrolytes. I got mine at Sprouts. I had terrible calf cramps. Good luck.

Always speak to your surgeon about any concerns BUT - if you are getting cramps in your legs or feet - it could be dehydration or a vitamin/mineral deficiency issue. Make sure to be getting at least 64oz of water/non-caloric beverages (no caffeine) a day, enough Protein and take your Vitamins. If you are at the stage you can have soft foods - try eating a banana and see if that helps. Keep us posted as to how you're doing!

You can mix it into shakes, puddings, yogurt, etc.

You can also reconstitute it with water to make a paste (peanut butter).
