Ok, so for the past week I've had bronchitis and have been coughing by head off! So much, that it has made me throw up several times (upside, I did lose 3 lbs. in 5 days!)I went to the Dr. and got anitbiotics and cough medicine, but the episodes of coughing continued. Yesterday I was stretching and felt a SHARP pulling pain in my lower abdomen. I quickly stopped and applied pressure. Nothing is protruding, but when I stretch like I am going to do a back bend it is PAINFUL! Could this be a hernia from coughing? Could this be something else? Is this nothing? Any insight will help before I take the doctor route. BTW...Go Kentucky Wildcats!

I'm not sure if it's a hernia, but I would call the surgeon's office to clarify with them so I wouldn't worry about it. We can speculate, but even then we could be wrong and with delaying any treatment could cause you more harm than good. Please keep us informed so we know your doing ok. ;)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
