Wls Patients Boost Potassium Intake With Chicken & Squash Stew

Potassium is one of the nutrients gastric bypass patients tend to be deficient. In fact many weight loss surgery patients supplement their diet with potassium.

There are many foods rich in potassium which are well tolerated by most weight loss surgery patients. Foods such as apricots, butternut squash, grapefruit, salmon, halibut and chicken are all potassium powerhouses. By incorporating these foods in our meals after gastric bypass we benefit from flavor, range and healthful nutrients and perhaps stave-off some of the food boredom we all complain about. In addition, we know Wls patients are at risk of potassium scantness so why not get some the old fashioned way - delicious home cooked food.
