Thanks Mark!

Thanks for all the replies so far!! Keep 'em coming!

Heya Folks!! I started my journey in Nov 2012 with my sleeve surgery. I started at my highest lifetime weight of 431lbs and weighed in this morning at 313lbs. I am feeling great! Working out 5x a week and enjoying a lot of activities I haven't been able to do in a very log time. I take all my Vitamins & supplements, I'm getting my required daily intake of Protein and Water etc and overall, feel like I'm doin pretty well. I did notice however, that I tend to be somewhat forgetful as of late and not as full of energy as I feel I should be so I started researching Testosterone treatments as a possible solution. While doing research, I came across some info on HGH that makes me feel like that may be the better choice since it should help with my existing symptoms but will also help with skin elasticity and a few other things I'm currently experiencing. I have my 6 month follow up with my bariatric surgeon in about 2 weeks and I plan on setting an appointment with my primary care physician after that to see what they have to say about it but I Figured I would ask here too and see if anyone had any experience. Any info is greatly appreciated!!!

Lol, I'll try that again...... I was sleeved on 11/13 so I'm officially 5 days out. I've been drinking as much as possible and doing the Popsicle/jello/fudge pop thing. Through this recovery I'm also attempting to go cold turkey with caffeine, soda and chewing tobacco. The wife was sleeved a week earlier so we are kind of recouperating together. She has experienced getting full from half a cup of the pre packaged Jello etc but I have yet to FEEL full.... I'm just not sure I'm doing it right..... Night one in the hospital, I was chewing up and swallowing the ice chips I was given to use to swab my lips etc with while I was technically not allowed to eat or drink anything. I just couldn't help it..... My throat was dry and I was thirsty..... And it didn't seem to hurt my stomach either. Day 2 at the hospital I was cleared for Clear liquids and was given a bunch of 1oz cups to keep track. 4oz per hour was not an issue... I was drinking Water, juice cut with water, broth and tea with lemon. Nothing bothered the sleeve but nothing seemed to fill me up either. Fast fwd to today.... Still haven't experienced the FULL feeling and even though I'm using baby spoons, the jello is taking nowhere near a half hour to finish. Maybe 15 mins at most..... Also, my wife and I were "arguing" about protein/vitamins/b12 at this stage of the game..... She feels clear liquids are clear liquids.... Period. So, what say some of you pro's out there? Any advice for me? Thanks in advance!

I was sleeved
