Probably worlds stupidest question. I lost a lot of weight since my surgery in December.(80lb) I had a pretty big booty before, now its very boney. Every time I do floor exercises my tailbone hurts so bad. I avoid floor exercises, as well as sitting on the floor. I doesn't hurt during other activities or sitting on soft things. Is this normal when you first lose weight. Does my body just have to get use to the lack of padding. I know this is a very stupid question. My husband and daughter say it cause I'm skinny now. So I was wondering if it really was normal.

Hi Ya, I can totally relate!! I have always had a no butt syndrome. LOL I'm sure there isn't a club for this...but I have had the hardest time with my tailbone. I'm not sure if it happened because of my accidents when I was a teenager and then again going roller skating in my 30's. Also my many falls from my horseback years. I can not tell you how many different pillows!! Now I am 5 years out and I just found out that they can put something around your tailbone. I envision fat from my upper body and filling up my tailbone. I did find this out from the program called "BOTCHED". I did ask my DR that works on my knee with a gel injection, I ask him about putting something in my bottom. He just kind of smiled and looked at me like I have birds feathers sticking out of my mouth!! I know we live in a city that is kind of slow getting info sometimes but...if it is on TV I wonder if they have seen it. Lo and behold I am still suffering with my achy breakee tailbone!! So sad but oh so true!! I hope you can get some help. Good Luck and have a great day!!

Even though I still have a lot of weight to lose, I never had much of an a$$. Now, even my nice computer chair hurts my butt. Yikes! I don't know what it'll be like in another 50 pounds. I'm already looking for decorative cushions for work.

I’ve lost a lot of weight since WLS 14 months ago, am below goal weight, and now have issues with coccydynia (aka tailbone pain). There are a variety of ways to relieve this discomfort (Google them), but when they didn’t do much for me I went to a pain clinic and had pericoccygeal injections of local anesthetic and steroid performed under fluoroscopy done. I had this procedure twice and have been pain free for a couple of months now. I hope it lasts for awhile.

Getting a coccyx pillow for your office chair and car seat is helpful if you sit for long periods of time. You can buy them on Amazon or at a medical supply store.

no joke! My computer chair is a hard wood mid 1800's colonial mid-back and it hurts my butt now, I have to sit on a small pillow!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
