Question about BM and cramps- sorry!

Without getting too graphic, I wanted to ask if any others had a similar issue. I'm 9 months post-op from LAP RNY. Everytime I have to go to the bathroom, right before I get severe cramps, so bad I cannot even talk or move for the moment. It almost feels as if I can feel my bowels passing through my intestine. It eases up after a few minutes, and then I have a BM, which usually hurts. Sorry to be gross, but it's also very very big, which surprises me b/c it was never like this pre-op and I eat alot less. Has this happened to anyone? Anything to help this problem? It's kind of embarassing, so I really appreciate your reading this and comments!
