  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
