A Different "butt" Issue



Recommended Posts

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 :)

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.

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.

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.....

      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!!
