Ok, time to contribute!
I was off NBE for about week before surgery and another 4 days post-op.Also gave up coffee,yeah,crazy right?,started coffee at 16 yrs,4-5 cups a day for a long time!
It seems when I break I'm still seeing some kind growth,albeit in the shape more than cup size at this point.
  So starting back on PM, but here's an updated plan
  PM-2000 to 3000 mg a day
  Hops 300 mg 3x daily
  Spearmint tea 4 bags throughout the day 
  Fenugreek 1830 mg a day
  L-Arginine 2000 mg (starting dose)
  B-6 100mg 2x daily
  Massage 2-3x per day
Lost 13.5 pounds in in the last 3 weeks,added a lot more protein into the diet,light excercise,hey I'm trying,but nagging back issues are really making it tough!
Took out SP, (hops and spearmint are my AA's now)
I've also noticed how my skin has developed more fat tissue underneath it (fat distribution), like you can pinch it rather than being usually firm.
