Hello everyone, been a while but I have a question, now that I've reached my goals and then some I noticed for the past few weeks my tailbone hurts when I sit down or driving. I know I lost all cushion on lower back end but theirs no fat so when I sit down its uncomfortable and painful anyone out there as experienced this situation also? Going to buy a tailbone cushion to sit on because ita a little too much.

I bought two very similar pillows and they work wonderfully.

So far I'm happy with mine!

Yes, thank you! I was so relieved to see this thread! I kept saying this to my children! Happy to lose the weight and inches, but yeowch!!! Lol

Bought myself a tailbone pillow off the "As seen on TV section" at Wal-Mart. Tomkitten grimaced at the,price but I do feel it helped. And I do drag it from chair to chair like a toddler with his " blankie". I would send a picture but I still haven't figured how to text it in to Bariatric Pal from an Android phone. Fluffy Chix tried once to teach me, might as well have wrote,it in binary, I must be electronically dense or something. Oh we all have our strengths, that must be MY FLAW!

Didnt know this tail bone pain Im experiencing was so common. I too use a pillow between my knees when I sleep.

I made the mistake of driving to Florida and the pain in my tailbone is so bad I can’t even stand. I did buy a pillow like the ones others have shared and I almost felt like it made it worse. When I’m sitting or standing I’m fine but going from sitting to standing feels like my tailbone is going to snap off. Is this normal??

lots of pain here too.

Im having the same pain! My doc says that it might get better once the nerves get used to the lack of padding. Until then I'll haul my U shaped pillow around like Linus and his blankie.
