Is it possible you're drinking so much water you're diluting the electrolytes? Supplementing is good, I do it too, but if your supps have magnesium stearate in them, chances are pretty good you aren't absorbing as much as the bottle says you should be. It's a filler that chelates to the vits/minerals so you don't absorb as much. Then you toss that in with a zillion other individual factors and you might not be getting nearly as much as you think you are. I like fried potatoes with greens and eggs a lot.

It's definitely possible @Jess. I'm an anxious water drinker. So if I'm anxious or in bed, I'm sipping constantly. I probably drink 4-6 33 fl. oz bottles a day. and I'm currently just taking the one a day adult vitamin gummies, since my husband started taking them. I supplement my potassium/sodium with powerade and potatoes mostly. I have lost my appetite a bit in the last few weeks so it's entirely possible that heavily influenced my pre-op tests. and I've had GI problems with malabsorption forever. so who even knows lmao. And I just have not been going to all my doctors like I should be with my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I'm not *too* worried. I just don't want them to cancel my surgery over this e.e
