unexplained weight gain???????????????????

Did anyone who has started TRT have an unusual weight gain after a few weeks. I guess my weight gain is not unexplained, I feel like I could eat everything in sight. Is this normal?

You need to figure out what you are gaining: fat, muscle or water. Is your estrogen under control?

Thanks. Trying to figure out about weight. Est seems to be ok. couple of weeks before labs. may need to do sooner

Hmmm. Seems like you answered your own question.

For me, when I was on 200mg/wk of test, I had a larger appetite. On 100mg or 150mg/wk, my appetite was less. I try to eat 6 "meals" a day, so I don't really get too hungry. I gained some muscle during the initial 6 weeks of trt. I've seemed to level off since(been on trt 8 months). I'm starting a different workout program which will hopefully help me gain more muscle.

I am on 200 a week. I will eat anything I can get my hands on. Taking a lot of effort to turn food away.

Yes. It was bloat/water retention. The swollen ankles and neck were the giveaway. It subsided gradually over several weeks.
