Why do you have pain: First thing is to figure out why you have pain when you postpone eating? Losing weight if you have weight to lose, can be a great thing for your health, but don't ignore signs that your body is telling you if they are not going away. Ulcers are common and can be treated by seeing your doctor. Gastric pain can be related to other more serious conditions that you will want to rule out. Take care!

See a doctor: You should see a doctor first to find out the true cause of the pain before starting your diet plan for weight loss. Sometimes the diet plan could make the symptom worse.
