I used to be able to drink water at room temperature...bottled water that is.  Now, water must be on ice for me to enjoy it!  I'm freezing all the dang time though!!!

What "weird" things have you noticed 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.
