Does anyone feel his tailbone when sitting? Since I lost weight I can barely sit on any support. It's like I lost my cushions lol. when I sit on a flat surface I feel my thigh bone and joint, and my coccyx is uncomfortable and painful. At first, it was just a little sore sometimes, not having any real impact on my day-to-day. It slowly and gradually got more painful. Lately, if I'm on my feet, even just cooking or washing dishes, for only a half hour, my tailbone and the area around it throb and ache. I hope I'm not the only one around with this weird pain.

I have the same problem, and I know of others who have lost a lot that have the same problem. Goes along with being cold in temperatures that used to be comfortable or too warm...

Mine is more just sore from sitting too long and having lost the padding. Yours sounds like something else might be wrong if it's getting worse. Maybe your spine is readjusting or something. Do you see a massage therapist or chiropractor? Or even your doctor. (standard disclaimer on my medical advice, just thoughts, of course).

Yes, yes, yes! I had this pain starting at about 6 months after surgery. It lasted about 8-9 months...then I guess my dairy- air got used to having less cushion and it went away, so there is hope! :)

Thanks for ur reply. I've been reading on internet that this is a common pain for people who dramatically lose weight. It has nothing to do with posture. I am not sure if I am describing well. The pain gets worse after a long period of sitting. I think I should do some workout to grow muscles in that area.

OMG, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE! :lol:

I started referring to it as my "you've been sitting too long" alarm.

I don't have this issue standing, however.

In a way it does have something to do with posture, because for a while we still walk like we are carrying around all of that extra weight out of habit. I believe it gets better because we start adjusting slowly to our new weight. It is very hard to break habits that we don't even realize that we have! Lol

I have been give exercises by a trainer that are Pilates based to build muscle tone in my behind to try to replace a bit of the fat I lost and give me a cushion. But relieved to hear its not just me :-)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
