Yeah that is funny cause I was thinking about that at work today sitting on a hard bench......I am loosing the junk in my trunk.....

This must be a common thing! I've been thinking that for a couple weeks now. Man does my butt hurt at times! Im considering carrying a cushion with me!

Hey?!

Ever try to stand against a wall while waiting in line!? This was a regular practice before surgery, if I was in a long line for something! When we went to vote last month, the line snaked all the way around the gym, of the school we use as our precinct. I was against the wall for most of the trip around the gym, by the time I got out of there, it felt like someone had been playing xylophone on my spine with a rock!

Yea, my butt hurts, but there are other parts too...I need bubblewrap!

God Bless!

Mine too! That is so funny. Also I am feeling the bones in my shoulders the one in the back, by purse sits on it now and that even hurts, never noticed that before. Look at all the things we get to find new to us!!!

I literally have to sit on one butt cheek to stop from hurting. I guess it's a good thing cuz it gets me up and moving around, but there are times I would love to sit and just relax, however, I feel that any of the downsides are so worth it. Who would have even thought we had bones. LOL Have a sparkling day!!

I've lost 106 lbs and have another 94 to go and still my butt kills.....i need a new chair at work. and my tailbone.....yikes don't get me started

Boy can I relate!! After losing 120 lbs. I can feel bones that I didn't know I had.

I has surgery in May and finally a month ago I purchased an inflatable donut ring as I have been in so much pain. I have felt much better since.

I've heard from several people that they had to learn to sit differently after surgery. They said we're so used to compensating for our bodies when we were bigger it's affected our sitting posture.

I still have the sore tail bone problem, depending on the chair, but I try to remember to sit on my "sits bones" - those two spots at the bottom of the pelvis - and it really helps. If you sit down and roll your hips forwards and backwards you can feel your body roll onto those sits bones and off your tail bone as you sit up taller in your seat. Sure feels strange at first, but it does take that pressure off the sore spot.

I was so disappointed to find this thread was not about donut donuts. *sigh*
But, then again, I haven't had my surgery yet so I still crave those sugary little buggers.

I have to say, signing up for this group was the best idea. I am learning so much about the whole GBS process and what to expect. I am really grateful to everyone willing to share their experiences.
It feels weird to say this but, I look forward to the day my butt aches from the lack of cushioning!
Thanks, All!
