Should I stop taking Creatine before/during/after surgery?
talking about this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatine

I'm also taking protein powder on a daily basis, but I don't see any reason that could interfere with the surgery (well, it's food...).

Thanks. :)

Creatine does not interfere with surgery in and of itself.The issue with creatine is that you make get a bit dehydrated if the creatine upsets your gi tract. I like to have patients stop creatine for the aforementioned reason a day or two prior to surgery so their hydration is optimized.

Alright. Thanks a lot doctor.
I'll take your advice and stop taking Creatine 2 days prior to surgery. :)
