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:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
