How to build muscle postop



Recommended Posts

Can women take a casein shake also' date=' dr wants me to put on 2 to 3 lbs of Muscle, I don't know how....[/quote']

I have to admit I do not know what a casin shake is. Before WLS when I was working out big time.

( one of the fittest 'big' men in da gym)

I would have a whey shake AFTER EACH WORK OUT.

MY trainer TOLD ME GENERALLY whey shakes for men and soy shakes for women we best.

Casein is a slow release Protein...opposite of whey which is a fast release Protein. Casein is great for a bedtime shake as it feeds your muscles slowly all night.

As BTB says, casein is great for at night. I take mine every night for 8 months now and love that my body "works" during the night while breaking it down. Whey is best for morning when waking up and for after working out. A Protein matrix (mix of whey, casin and other proteins) are good also during the same slots (morning and after workout). For reference, I take 40 g synth 6 (a protein matrix) in the morning, 25 g before working out with steel oats and some times 40 g post workout (not so much any longer as eat AMRAP bar instead). I take ON casein (50-60 g) at night.

From what I've read, the best you can hope for while you are losing the fat is to try to hold on to the muscle you have, or if really out of shape gain a little. Then once you lose it all you start rebuilding process in muscle.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
