New Post-op Tip of The Day

Let's talk about tailbone pain !!!!!  You're not imagining things, when you start feeling a lot of pain in your tailbone as you start losing weight. This is a common problem for wls patients. One of the main reasons has to do with that you're losing that natural cushion, the almighty bootay. Also when we lose weight at a rapid pace our skeletal system gets all out of whack because it was used to holding us up at one weight and struggling but now we change weight so quickly that our bones need a chance to catch up.

I've lost so much of my butt that my tailbone rubs the chair I sit in at work causing me great pain and numerous trips to my ortho.

It is a good idea to carry a pillow with you to sit on. There are pillows made with an area cut out just for the tailbone that will relieve that pressure. Yoga or simple stretches help some also. I haven't tried a chiropractor yet due to insurance issues but I have used one in the past as well as acupuncture.

You're not crazy and there really isn't much to help combat this pain yet but I'm sure we'll find a way. Maybe if I buy that butt at Fredrick's of Hollywood it wouldn't hurt so much.

 Nooo not the butt panty, they make you look like you have two pieces of wood in your pants.  lol

By the way I love these, thanx

NOOOOOOOOOOO not the BOOTAY!!!   Is it the first to go or the BOOBIES?

My butt deflated like a balloon. My boobies cup size got bigger while the band size got smaller.

Hey thurr Killa,

"the almighty bootay"
Gurrrl you aint eva lyin about the bootay being almighty, but I will certainly welcome the tailbone pain and a washboard butt anyday.()

Ok when you get the ironing board bootay I'm going to remind you of this post.

Whoops

well since my mother told me that I was BORN with a big butt I just can't fathom all of that happening. Lawd my metamorphasis is going to be wild

These posts are great! Thanks!!!!

But Lawd does the booty really go like that????? Dang!!!!
Well I guess it will be better than lookin like I have a butt in the front AND the back!

Not everyone loses the butt. There are a few  beautiful sistahs on BAF that still have their juicy bootay and I'm hatin' but mine went from a shelf to a wall.

Alright Killa,
here is the copy paste my computer would not let me just post just the link so I hope that I did this correctly.
