Thanks; I'm about to call mine! This is crazy! It is right at my rib cage and it stays steady for bout 30 minutes.

So my dr said this could very well be a direct result of an intolerance to milk. I don't know, I'm not lactose intolerant but I've also never drank this much milk. He said if it persists I should switch to soy or lactose free milk.

I actually go tomorrow for my pre-op appointment; so I should find out something tomorrow! I hope so! :)

I don't do milk; so I'm good! Have you tried Muscle Milk for your Protein shakes? I like the chocolate; they have no milk in them!
