Does it hurt for you to sit after weight loss?

I've lost 79 pounds and I have noticed it hurts to sit on any hard surface, like a floor or a toilet! I guess I'm so used to having a lost of cushion back there. Just curious if anyone else is seeing this. :-) Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I've lost the weight and I guess it is a good problem to have. It is just going to take some time to get used to it.

It doesn't hurt to sit (I hope I don't get there but I do have another 60 to go!) but I know I can't do sit ups/crunches on hard floors anymore. The bone where my butt is starts to ache like crazy!

Yep, I get a serious case of bleacher butt after a game. Used to do a triple header...no way now!

Haha! Me too! I have noticed that chairs are harder, even car seats get me to bouncing around after a short time. But, I would not trade this feeling, my butt has almost disappeared.

Yes! I have pelvic issues to begin with (history of trauma)---and the lack of cushioning is really painful1

Glad to know that I'm not alone. LOL Yeah, I wouldn't trade it for anything either. It is a good problem to have. :-) It also hurts when I'm in the tub.

Sitting doesn't bother me but lying in bed at night (I'm a side sleeper) my knees hurt terribly! And my dh now says my bones hurt him!

Yes! My butt bones and my tail bone hurt after sitting for a while. The tail bone especially.

I NEVER had that problem before!

So funny that I read this from you. I have lost 93 pounds and I am now 150. I asked my husband the other day if you are supposed to feel butt bones when you sit....he thought I was joking...I wasn't! I have been well padded in that area since I was a child. Now , for the first time, I can feel the bones!!!!!! :biggrin:

YES, it hurts to sit. :thumbup: I can feel my bones starting to poke through and my tailbone gets achy after a while.

I also have another problem. I have loose skin on my butt and if I do not get it situated properly it sort of folds over and pinches. Anyone else have this happen?

I hope that skin will tighten up more and fit my new butt after a while. :scared2:

I still have a lot to lose so I hope it does not get worse!

Of course, I would rather have to wiggle around frequently than be fat!:biggrin:
