Could I have an Ulcer??

Hi everyone, I have a question....I'm 3 weeks out and had been doing really great, then starting about saturday, when I drink anything --right when it gets to right above my belly button it hurts like crazy...like a bad gas pain and I have to wait it out with my stomach clutched it's pretty bad..I called MB and they want me to have a CTscan for a hernia...but I just realized the one BIG thing I was doing wrong..is.....I haven't been taking my anacid pill....big fat ooops......when I realized that it made me think OMG it's an ulcer...but can you really get an ulcer in 3 weeks.....this has to resolve quickly as I have just been given a live in position on a horse farm (everyone stand up and cheer---its my destiny) and although that won't start for 4-5 weeks I need to be ALL better by then....ideas suggestions..did this happen to you?

wow thanks for all the response and support...way to make a person feel blacklisted for not ever attending the circle of friends....from now on I will post on the main board at least there people are supportive and respond to postings, I have often felt this way about the MO board but I keep coming back since I am in missouri..but I bet 95% of the time NADA...no response...I used to get readers and no response but jeez now i'm actually having a medical thing and I barely get readers..geesh way to go Missouri how lame...

Kim... Sorry that you feel that way but I can understand a teensy bit of what you are talking about.  I used to post here all the time but frequently just lurk and read.   I just don't feel a part of "it" all (whatever it is *s*).... so I hear you on that. On the posting thing though... you will have to give folks a break as many will not answer if they don't have an idea to suggest and also, like me, I didn't even get home til after midnight last night!.....    So I'm sorry that folks were not more accomodating for you info. wise....  but please don't bust everyone's chops for the miss-step.   Heck....*LOL*... I answered you! *g* Elizabeth~* who btw is off to work yet again!  ( I work 3 jobs!)...

Hey Elizabeth, wow 3 jobs that has to be tough..soon I will have two myself so I am building up strength!! Anyways you should come over to the main board people are very friendly and  there is NO clique-ish attitude at all there....you get alot more support and suggestions.

Kim except for this post i have always responded to you and im sorry about not responding to this one. on my defense i just started to work and dont get home till late and havent been on as much.  I did see your post but didnt have any idea how to answer you at the moment . I think you shoud have the problem checked out dont know if it would be an ulcer down that low would it? Your new tummy is right uner your breast bone.  Again sorry sometimes when you feel left out it is because you dont put yourself in , I know i have invited you to the meetings and to post more often and the rest is up to you . Again sorry if you feel like you havent been welcomed  but i assure you , you are most welcome. Jan

I apologize for being the big drama queen....but I have felt like my few posts I have put on the MO board get overlooked...or actually they get looked at but not responded to.  I thought maybe I could have an ulcer because I did a big fat NO NO...I have been forgetting to take my antacid.....BAD BAD .....it's very hard for me to get used to taking things everyday, I never have..the vitamins I remember because I am still on kids chewables and my kids love them so we all take them together but I hadn't taken my antacid in over a week....and for some reason milk doesn't hurt like water does weird huh...I wonder if you can get ulcers further down the digestive tract like maybe where the old stomach reconnects with the intestine....who nows..but so far today the good news is I am down another pound, and the pain on drinking isn't so bad...( I took my antacid) I don't have pain when I eat..only liquids do it....weird weird weird.... Once again sorry for being the big ole drama queen....my head is all over the place...you never realized how much you love food until it is impossible to eat it....I had no idea ....so I am dealing with the walking around feeling unsatisfied and ticked off alot and even though I am dropping weight I am still way above what my "normal" was..so I won't feel like there is a big difference happening until I hit 215...at that point I will feel like me, and the rest of the weight I loose will be icing on the cake (sugar free of course) Its sad when the loss of 45lbs doesn't make a dent really ...
