losing a few more pounds, my protein drink is acting up again

Okay, I am at about 155#, size medium which i am pretty happy with. I have pretty bad skin/cellulite pockets on my inner thighs and I want to see if losing just a few pounds doesn't reduce that before having plastics so I would like to drop around 5-8 pounds and get under 150 before November. I don't NEED to do this, but i want to. I don't want to lose more then that because I start looking older which i don't like either...haha

I have been inspired by the 5/2 diet and roughly following it, using my favorite Protein drinks, Premier Protein as a key tool. Well, back when i was about 7-8 months out I was really burned out on Protein Drinks and i developed a "stomach cramping" reaction to the protein drinks so the NUT said to just not have any for 3 months (at the time I said hooray!). She was right, when I started drinking them again, no problems.... until now. Starting last week, I started getting that symptom again. The thing is, I find them very filling, they taste good, are handy and most importantly they are a protein bargain at 30G of protein in each - they just work well for me. I don't like the side effects but don't want to take 3 months off from drinking them since they are helping me toward my Nov goal. I also like the taste of the nectar Syntrax protein powders but for some reason they don't satiate my hunger like the premier does.

So, does anybody have any ideas of why premier protein starts attacking me like this and what I can do about it?
