Butt cushion recommendations?



Recommended Posts

As I am losing weight, my office chair at work is rather painful.

I got an egg crate cushion but it hasn't helped much.

What are you using??

I recently got the Millard memory foam seat cushion. I paid $24.99 and it's very comfortable.

Try a donut cushion which has the hole in the centre so there is no pressure at all on your tail bone. This is where your butt pain originates.

I bought two coccyx pillows when this started happening to me - one for my office chair, and one for my car. I still use them almost eight years later (or at least in the car. I'm now retired). In general my butt doesn't hurt as much as it did (maybe I just figured out how to sit to avoid the pain?), but long-ish trips in the car will still do it to me, so I still use the pillow. Coccyx pillows look like this. The "U" part goes in the back.

If it's your sit bones bothering you - get used to the pressure. I'd recommend long bike rides for this. (Only half kidding here.)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
