Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 Geeez, I can't believe I am still dealing with these. I've upped the calcium. I take Potassium. I drink my water. And I still get killer leg and/or foot cramps every evening. It's very painful and my toes curl up so funny they look deformed. I don't know what else to do, but I don't want to just live with it, either. Any wisdom? I'm almost 3 years out. hugs, Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I do. ;^) For all those other wanting to discuss other vitamins and minerals: Are you happy now? hahahaha In Charlottesville, VA RNY w/ gall bladder removal, 3/31/99, 318 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only had the cramps post-op, I'm not sure what to tell you. But my husband has had this problem his entire life; his WLS has made no difference. Like you, he has spent a lifetime of diligent vitamin supplementation, drinks at least a gallon of water a day. I keep telling him to add a banana, even though he takes potassium, but he won't do it Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 I get the same leg cramps when I do not take in enough Protein. In addition to my solid food, I take in an additional 60+mg of protein via protein shakes. Try that and see if it makes a difference.
