Hello.  I am 6 mos. Post rny surgery and have just successfully lost over 100lbs.  Here is my issue...  when sitting in a chair or performing sit-ups,  I feel as though my spine i****ting the surface.  Sit-ups have almost become impossible.   Has anyone experiencedown this and if so has it improved?

I have a similar issue, but on the other side of my body.  Hip bones during double leg kick in pilates?  Ugh.  I have to alternate single leg kicks instead.  :/ 

Things you can do - for the chair, consider a ****yx pillow.  You can order one from Amazon and it helps a lot.   It will get better.  I used to need one for movies and long car trips, but I noticed that I forgot it and would be fine at some point.  

For sit-ups, consider adding padding like sitting on a pillow, or a pilates mat.  Or a folded yoga mat.  

It will improve as your body changes.

Thankire you so much for your advise and time.   I ordered a pillow through Amazon as I sour at a desk at work.   Thank you for letting me know of these pillows.   Good luck with your hip.
