bcaa info needed



Recommended Posts

Has anyone else gotten nauseous after taking bcaa drink following an intense workout (mine had lifting and body weight exercises)? Maybe I need to carb up more closer to start of workout? My stomach was empty post workout. I drank 14 g bcaa on wake this am and another 14 g bcaa before, during and after workout. Also had creatine and recovery shake at about the same time post workout. Just felt really sick to my stomach and had to lay down. Maybe it was just a reaction to the flavor and not the bcaa, per say. Every online info says bcaa is safe and more is better. Thoughts?

I found it was not the bcaa, but the creatine taken around the same time. The creatine is sometimes rough on my stomach, but minor nauseous feeling goes away in a few minutes after drinking it mixed with a Protein shake.< /p>

It gets to be part of the lexicon when you discuss it all the time. :) creatine and BCAA are essentially Protein synthesis supplements that help prevent the muscles from entering a catabolic state; rather, they keep muscles operating in an anabolic state. Creatine helps draw Water into the muscle during repair. BCAAs are super efficient at racing towards the muscle to help with energy and repair. It is really important to optimize the results after hard work during your workouts.

I don't do creatine but I do BCAA pre and post workout. I haven't had a nausea problem due to my supplements but it's pretty common for me to work so hard that I throw up. My trainer does require that I eat something 60 minutes prior to workout that gets in at least 30 grams of carbs - usually 1/2 cup of brown rice or oatmeal (regular oats not the instant stuff with all the sugar). I do lifting, resistance training and crossfit type boot camps. - nothing more satisfying than tossing around a tractor tire.

      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.
