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 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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
