Is this pain hunger??

Hey everyone:
I'm having a very hard time. I am trying so hard to BOT, and I feel like my hunger is making it impossible. I have already had 910 cals today (50 grm Protien), and it's only 4:00. During the day, I just feel this pain, kind of radiating around my belly and into my sides. I have been thinking it's hunger, and today, as an experiement, I have eaten almost every 1.5-2 hours. It seemed to make it better then yesterday, where I felt like no matter what i ate, it wasn't enough. I still had the pain. Maybe it's gas pain? I just don't know, and it's very distracting.
Here is what I have eaten today. Keep in mind, I am only 9 months out.
2 veggie sausage patties w light sour cream
2 cheese sticks, 1 serving of turkey pepperoni, 1/2 serving baked chips (this is a first)
2 sugar free peanut butter cookies (the kind with no flour, just PB, splenda and egg)
1 cheese stick, 1/2 serv turkey pepperoni
1 S/f pudding cup
2 cups of s/f mocha coffee, with jus****er (you know, the international foods mix kind)
50 oz of water (so far)

I just feel like I am eating SO much food. I've been at a little stall and I'm worried I am doing something really wrong. I usually end up with about 1500 cals a day, (75-90 grms of protein). Isn't that too much??

Sorry to come and whine. I am uncomfortable and feeling down. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If I were you, I'd sure check with my dr to be sure nothing is wrong - Have never had a gall bladder attack or an ulcer, so haven't a clue whether your symptoms could be that or not.  But it just doesn't sound right that you should be having pain like you are. 

Good luck in finding the cause

Well, I have had my gallbladder out, so I know that's not it. Maybe I should call my Dr.

I would be greatful for any suggestions on my food as well

Thank you for responding!

Yeah I'd definately check with the dr. about your pain symptoms...sounds like gallbladder but you said you had that out... but your food and calories sound great. especially the water girl i wish icould drink that much im just in a motivation slump to do anything at the moment. so i am on here to find my encouragement and motivation. may be the only thing to change is less sugar free stuff and maybe cottage cheese or hard boiled egg.....but i know it amazes me now how many calories i can take in and alot of the sugarfree products are great but pack more calories easy and less nutrion value! keep up the good work and maybe i  will get back on the program with you cause i start my day and slip up with packing the kids lunches and grab carbs...hope you feel better!

Kayjay - Someone on here one day said they chew gum when they're tempted to eat.  Since I have some dental work that that just wouldn't work with very well I've never tried it, but it might help you as you pack lunches - kind of messy mixing food and gum.  Might give it a try and see if it works for you.

Tulasop - Does it make any difference whether you eat soft foods or solid foods?  I like Quaker instant Weight Loss oatmeal with protein powder - I add a little DaVinci sugar free syrup for extra flavor.  But, please do see your dr - it just seems as though there must be something wrong for you to be in pain like that.
