As far as subject matter goes, hey, I had two little brothers. I

think I have seen it and heard it all...LOL >>

I had older brothers as well and also taught preschool so I guess I'm in the

same boat! LOL Glad I helped.

Hi Genz,

Yes I noticed it on my face. I attributed it to two things. First I'm not

so bloated as I used to be so my skin isn't so taut from being puffed out.

Second, since I'm eating less fat and sugar my complexion is clearing up. My

pores are probably breathing for the first time in years! lol

Clair,

Thanks for the hot chocolate tip......I won't be trying it anytime soon.

I

do have a question though. Have you noticed your skin being softer and smoother

since surgery?

Yesterday I made the comment to my hubby that my face seemed smoother and softer

and he said he had noticed the skin on my arms felt smoother and softer. I

haven't

changed my beauty/bath products and the only thing different is the surgery. I

just thought I would see if anyone else has the same thing. This may be a new

fountain of youth!!!!!!!!!!
