Topic: RE: Anyone hurt MORE now?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! My butt hurts big time!!!! If I lay on the recliner, it seems to hurt more, if I sit straight up, it doesn't seem to hurt as much. The one hour car ride to work, kills my butt.. I am constantly trying to change positions or sit on a slant to avoid pressure. It's really weird, and hurts like heck! My parents were talking about driving out to Myrtle Beach again, and I said I'd rather fly, only because I think my butt will be dying in the 8 hour car ride! Since my surgery, I've had so many little ailments - all bearable, but so weird, we have this surgery to better our health, and all this bizarre ailments occur after the weight loss! Pinch nerve, carpal tunnel, SORE BUTT, sciatica (but I fell in work, that triggered it). sore neck. My feet don't hurt anymore! I don't sweat profusely when using the tiniest bit of exertion! I have lots more energy than I have in years... so you take the good with the bad, I'm happy, healthier and so glad I did it. Even though I've still got a long, long, long road ahead of me, when all of you will have been at the finish line a long time, I'll be there someday soon hopefully! You're not a freak Felicia - unless I am too!!

Felicia, No you are not freakish at all. Once my weight started coming off my knees and back began to get sore again and I kept tripping over my feet. It finally dawned on me that I was walking "funny". Without the huge thunder thighs to keep my feet in their normal place, I had changed my gait. When walking I had to make a concentrated effort to place one foot in front of the other. I got tired of tripping and hurting. You go right ahead and complain, I feel for you. After losing 200 pounds you are probably carrying your entire body differently, so every bone, muscle and joint is having a fit. It WILL get better. Annette
