Good info! Muscle loss and weight loss



Recommended Posts

This video was made with bypass patients in mind but I think it is really good info for ANY WLS, and even b4 WLS. It discusses the prevention of muscle loss in WLS patients. I found it to be very informative, hopefully someone else will too!

Hnmmn so why aren't we all taking creatine? Sounds almost too good to be true. Sigh .. might have to do a test run and see if it makes that much difference.

You find it in body builders formulas....

I just ordered some from Netrition.com (they charge $4.95 for shipping no mater how much you buy, so I stock up on other stuff at the same time... good selection of low carb stuff...)

The 3 things he said were creatine, whey Protein (we all know about that) and glutamine. He talked mostly about creatine. He didn't say much about glutamine. Glutamine is an amino acid and therefore some should be in the whey protein in all those Protein Shakes I am trying to get down.

I wonder if you can get this creatine at any drug store? Anyone know, or do you have to purchase it online??

Thanks in advance for your response?

either in that video or another one he said you can get them a "walmart, GNC or amazon" so I am pretty sure it would be at walgreens or CVS or the like.

I listened to quite a few of his videos, and he does change his advice from the earlier ones to the later ones. I quoted a new study that says the milk is just as good as whey to keep muscle mass... (of course milk has more carbs...) He also is talking more about NOT taking some Vitamins in his later videos.

I believe creatine is a component in my Protein shake powders that I get from GNC, will have to check. I cannot open the video, what does it say?

Creatine helps the body to build muscle, but also improves the brain function. He sited studies done in elder care homes 5 gms a day was the dose. He has a channel on Yotube.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
