My butt is always sore



Recommended Posts

Ever since I lost weight my butt is always sore. I can sit for a few mins and it feels like I've been sitting for hours. Does anyone have this problem. I'm not sure is it bcuz I lost a lot of muscle in my butt or what. Its very annoying. I guess I'll ask the Dr when I go for my annual check up.

It happens to do many of us after rapid weight loss... I've lost weight before and never had this problem but since the surgery and lost wait even sitting for a few minutes hurts.

If you google "sore tailbone after losing weight"

You will get pages of theories. The padding or skin on the actual tail bone becomes very thin why I don't know..

The best advice I've read is to do squats and lunges to build up the muscles there.

Or as my husband says just get up off your lazy (skinny) azz.. :P

I have this issue too - sitting in the car for anything longer than 15 mins is painful!

I'm getting it on my hip bones when I wake up... Its not nice...

and also my shoulders...

I was actually giving consideration to get some of that padding they use for people who are bed-bound, it's that sore!

Oh, I'm having pain in my shoulders and tops of my arms, especially when I waken up - I tend to sleep with my hands underneath the pillow....

I'm so glad that this problem isn't unique to me! I had ankle surgery and have been almost completely sedentary since Oct 18th, in the past month my butt has been so sore and uncomfortable. I've lost 90 pounds since March 2013 and still have 50 to go. Any suggestions for how to relieve the pain?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
