Strange tailbone question



Recommended Posts

Has anyone noticed having a sore tailbone since losing weight?I have lost almost 80 lbs after the sleeve and exercise 5x per week. I have had no falls or accidents but I feel like my tailbone is really sensitive. I realize that my butt is much smaller but it's not that small! It feels sore sitting in my car, on the couch, etc. Anyone else have this? What did you do?

When I was at my highest weight, I had a sore tailbone constantly.

I lost some weight with the sleeve, and then my tailbone felt good again.

I lost more weight, and now I'm back to being in pain. :/

I honestly have no idea...

Maybe we just have bony butts?

Yep, and many other bony prominences also hurt. I drive my family crazy having them feel my bones. My collar bones are very prominent, and so are by ribs. I can also feel my hip bones, and when I'm sitting my arms always seem to rest on them, and it hurts a little. My tailbone hurts if I sit wrong, but I can also feel my femur and hip bones in my behind when I sit. I can't just sit down in a hard chair. Sitting in wooden pews at church is painful. I am really surprised at how much closer my bones are to the surface than they were at this weight before I became super obese. I always say the fat dripped away from where it needs to be - what I have left seems to be puddled around my knees, lol!

My tailbone just started to hurt at times also. This must be what it is like to have a skinny but. LOL

OMG...thought it was just me...butt bone hurts all the time...I have a pillow at work. I have found that sitting up straighter helps to a certain degree.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
