I don't know much about creatine !
A long time ago, when I was thin and working out a lot..... I had dizzy spells and went to the ER and when they ran my blood work I had abnormally high creatine - they admitted me for a few days to give me fluids/ meds
I never really knew why it happened
Wish you luck!!!

Creatine shows abnormal kidney function. I can't tell you how it works in humans, but in cats, yes. It's a symptom of kidney failure in them. You may not be drinking enough water/noncaffinated drinks depending on your other meds. I need a minimum of 80oz of drinks a day because of my 2 cups of coffee and dehydrating meds. But ask what can be done to lower it.

Are you getting in enough fluids? I'd recommend speaking with your Dr about this. Elevated creatinine can happen from dehydration, working out too hard, increased Protein intake. I'd also recommend checking in with your NUT in case you may need to make adjustments to your diet.

Dr office nut is who called with lab results. I drink about 100pz of Crystal light or Water daily. Take no meds except Vitamins. Have dizzy spells quite frequently and low bp. Told its not from dehydration but thats about all I know.

Just out of curiosity, do the crystal lite packets have caffeine in them? I noticed when I was shopping the other day some of them do. They were mixed right in line with the other flavors as well.

Mine do not. They have some with"energy" that do and Vitamin ones as well. I use just plain Walmart brand most of the time sugar free drink singles.< br>

Went to my pcp today. My high creatinine levels are not due to bypass as they have been that way on occasion previously. I have neurogenic bladder and hydronephrosis. This was from a spinal cord injury in 2007. Apparently that is a "normal" level for my condition. Good to know..

      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.
