Oh my gosh!! My butt (tailbone)hurts all the time! I mean when I am sitting my behind is in constant pain these days. Heaven forbid I sit on the floor or other hard surface, because then it is way worse. Even on my soft couch or soft office chair my behind is just in pain. It aches and I think it is that I have lost my awesome soft built-in padding, but OUCH!!

Any idea if or when this will go away and I can stand sitting again. I have no choice but to sit and do my job etc, but wow I never thought I would prefer to stand over sitting.... To make it worse I am so lightheaded (massive headache and dizzy as well) the last couple days I do not want to stand either, what a situation Ha-Ha.

Of course even lying down is kinda an issue (but since I only lie down at bedtime it is not such a big deal) but when I lie on my side my bones hit the floor or bed and hurt the same as my tailbone. I want a bit of my fat back, and the sad thing is that I am not that thin in those areas yet, can you imagine what it will be like when I get to my goal. Oh my gosh!!!

Whining over... LOL

How much have you lost? Ive lost almost 95 and my ass hurts when I sit on hard places like the tub and stuff.

I am down 71 pounds only. This seems like such a silly thing to complain about but it does make things difficult and it is painful. But I just have not found anything to help it either. Pillows do not even seem to help.

You are losing all your padding which is a good thing. I once fell down cement steps and landed on my tail bone, it hurt like hell. When I had to sit at my desk I used a tube, it helped a lot. If you can get something with a hole in it you will not have that direct pressure.

I have the same issue and butt squeezes seem to help...about 10 morning and 10 evening. Have lost 40 before surgery...20 since surgery...two weeks ago. Same exercises work in the car and on airplane (also do ankle pumps) .

Hope that helps.

My butt still have cushion thanks god. Does anyone know how to give my self a boob lift I'm getting flat. The photos are real & the boobs but I'm wearing a push up bra.

I have the same problem. It started when Iost about 40 pounds. I really can't sit for a long time. Luckily for me ( not really) I stand on my job my whole shift. The really horrible thing for me is, and sorry if it's gross, but I can literally FEEL my tailbone ewwww!!!!! My fiancé commented on how I squirm in my seat now. But I can't help it! It's super uncomfortable.

I had that prblm for about the 1st 3wks

5 months out and still have the problem. I'll be sitting there and all of a sudden the pain shows up. No warning, it just hits me. I have to stand up for a while to get rid of it.

Same here, down 150 and my tailbone hurts when sitting.. It's not hurting right now, but if i push on the bottom of the tailbone it hurts.

I was thinking about seeing a Dr. about this.....

I have the same issue and to add to it next week I will be in the car on a long fun car rude from Ca to NC .... Been apologizing to my tail bone in advance!!!

I'm 11 months post op, and yeah, if I sit too long, my tailbone hurts! Lol keeps me from sitting on my butt all day, for sure!

my superpower is......

Anyone try a donut cushion?

Anyone try a donut cushion?

Or just a round float with the hole in the middle, a lot cheaper
