truthfully: drink a gallon of water a day, eat a high protein diet, take a good whey protein shake after every workout (Icehog3 and I recommend Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Rocky Road), and take a good multivitamin.
also: be sure you don't overtrain and make an effort to stretch before and after every workout.
you don't need creatine at this point to help you stay less sore. that said, you're going to be sore if you've taken 14 years off. there's nothing you can do about that. taking the steps I outlined will minimize that soreness and speed your recovery time, though. but you're still gonna feel the ouch.
