Pain in rear end after weighr loss



Recommended Posts

Hi

Ever since i lost my first 35 pounds i found that my rear end hurts after sitting more than 20 minutes, im guessing its because o now have less padding, is this something other ppl experiance ? And what solutions are there bcause i have a 12 hour flight tomorrow and am freaking out

I had to sit through a 15 hour one. My suggestion would be rotate between sitting on your pillow and switching sides from weight bearing.. other than that, I am afraid there is not much else that could be done.
Oh, try to change your seat to an isle one so you can get up and stand up every once in a while when things start going numb.

I have the same problem and also recently took a long flight. Like the other poster said, alternate putting the little airline pillow under you. It really helped me to wedge it between the seat and my tailbone to remove some of the pressure. Aisle seat was key for me.

I'm thinking it could be:

- Less cushion (as mentioned in this topic already)

- Depleted muscle mass (happens with weight loss but especially if not getting enough protein)

- Sitting on a toilet too much/hemorrhoids

Get a coccyx cushion.

Thanks guys

Anyone know if this is a short term problem or long term?

Me too. I don't think it's hemorrhoids because the pain is much more in the cheeks/upper leg area. I guess I'll get some pillows.

Mine is coccyx pain for sure. My tailbone protrudes so much more now that it's not covered in fat. I had to get a pillow for work and it makes it better but sometimes the only thing that really helps is to get up and walk around and get the pressure off my butt.

      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! 😞
