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!

I know, right? I had never hear of it until today. There is another one mentioned in another video.... seratin or something like that.... you can watch the vid for for yourself if you would want to know what it is... just follow the link.

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
