Default Need help with Potassium supplements

My sister had gastric bypass surgery on Oct. 12th. From the start there were complications - a hole punctured in her intestine, so they had to go back in and do a complete cut. She is a natural "gagger" and simply cannot take the potassium in either pill or liquid form. She hasn't been able to eat for two days as just looking at her protein drink, or even thinking about food makes her heave. She's seeing her doctor this afternoon, but has anyone had success masking the taste of the potassium? Thanks for your hhelp - her sister, Sherry

I was in the ER last night with heart palpitations, sweats, lightheadedness... blood work showed low potassium! I'll see my PCP on Tuesday to figure out treatment....

Hope your sister is doing better! It's nothing to fool around with!
