[QUOTE="johndoesmith, post: 52279, member: 13404"] It can be so many things, it will also depend on your body composition before TRT, your lifestyle now(do you lift weights?), and also beginning TRT or going from ineffective to an effective protocol can increase appetite in the beginning. Like another poster mentioned, testosterone will increase glycogen storage in muscles which will increase water weight, but it is not a bad kind of weight. I gained some weight when I started TRT, I am 5'8, 150lbs before TRT and now about 160lbs. I don't lift weights really, but I seem to have gained muscle or at least it appears to be muscle, people have mentioned out of their own volition that I seem bigger in the shoulders, arms, and even my chest. My shirt sleeves are tighter. I did gain a few inches on my waist, but that's a good thing for me because now I am a more normal pants size! This is all assuming E2 isn't high, if it is, lab tests will show and if you lower E2 most of the water weight will go away. [/QUOTE]
