Gnc Irony



Recommended Posts

Celebrate makes very good Vitamins. You can get them with or without Iron depending on your needs. you can order them online. You may want to check with your doc as to whether or not you need a liquid Vitamin for the initial period after surgery.( my doc. had me do that for 3 weeks and i was glad when that ended)

To anyone thinking Fiddle is being mean/whatever, would you take any advice from a Doctor who weighed 400 pounds and was telling you to lose weight? Same concept. I'm not going to take a recommended supplement for strength from some GNC kid who's calves are the size of my forearms.

Our local Vitamin shoppe is run by a local strength trainer and natty body builder. Dude is legit and cool as hell to talk to. GNC uses product targeting to push their crap. They have a list of things to recommend for each goal, and their based on a sales number, not what works. I wouldn't go to GNC to buy a bottle of Water, that's for damn sure.

If you're looking for supplements, google them, review them, research them, and then you'll likely find the best price online somewhere. But, beware of the 15 year olds reviewing products on bodybuilding.com. supplements are so sketchy these days since they don't have any regulations put on them until they kill someone, then they're taken off the market. I.E. ephedrine. A great product got dropped.

I do have to say what I like about Vitamin Shoppe is they let me shop but if I have questions they are there, GNC employees won't leave me alone.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
