I was thinking that too, but the same cramping can come up within an hour after eating, and I can't possibly think there's any way I could be hungry again. Also, if I ate every hour, there's NO way I'll lose weight because I'll always be filling my face.

I agree with the above poster as far as unflavored Unjury...start adding it to your food. Also, I am the same way with protein shakes. BUT, I was lucky enough to find & try Unjury Chocolate protein powder. It seriously tastes like chocolate milk. Everyone who's tried it, raves about it. You can order samples from the company, it's worth a shot. Without my protein in my shakes, I wouldn't be able to get my protein in either. Each 8 oz shake has 20g of Protein (plus the protein in the milk). But you DEFINITELY have to find a way to increase your protein.

I am 5 weeks out from surgery and just in the last 5-6 days started having an issue that I never had before. I had felt GREAT post-surgery up until this new situation came up. I am having a weird kind of feeling in my new stomach. It's hard to explain, but it is an intermittent gnawing/crampy type feeling in my stomach that comes and goes every couple minutes. It seems to get a bit better when I have a "full" belly (just after I've eaten) but reoccurs just a short time afterwards and continues until my belly is full again. I am taking Prilosec for previously diagnosed acid reflux/GERD. I've even bumped up to 2 doses a day (am & pm's) to see if that would help, but it doesn't seem to help the gnawing/crampy feeling. I don't believe it's anything "serious," but it is uncomfortable and disrupts my whole day. Nothing has changed in my normal (soft foods) diet and I've not been eating/drinking anything unusual. And I don't seem to have any unusual gas, etc. I don't overeat and I keep my portion sizes small. I really don't know what is causing this. Have any of you had this issue? Any ideas what it could be? I'm becoming very frustrated and really looking for some relief.
