Poll: "Weird" things since surgery
My pouch likes extremes - either really cold or really hot. Also constipated for the first time in my life (yes, I know that isn't weird in the majority of people BUT being lactose intolerant my whole life and having some butt issues in the past 2 years, I normally went the Hershey squirts way....Sorry for the TMI)

I noticed a weird but good thing. My elbows have been rough and "alligator like" for years. The dr. even said they were so bad nothing could help them. The other day I realized they are SOFT again! Don't know if it is the vitamins, protein, surgery, or what caused them to get soft again but enjoying it.
I had the same thing with MY elbows!
It wasn't terrible before surgery, but definitely noticeable despite all kinds of lotion, exfoliating, etc.. About a year after surgery, though, I suddenly noticed that they were soft and smooth even without lotion! I don't know why... the rest of my skin has not changed since surgery... but I would bet that the extra vitamins are somehow involved.
