Boney Butt



Recommended Posts

Have a question I dont know if it's just me, but ever since my weight loss my tailbone protrudes and it hurts when I sit for long periods of time. Its not sticking out like a tail lol but you can definitely feel it, my dr said its because when I was heavy my tush had that extra fat padding around my tail bone and now 90 pounds lighter my tailbone has no cushion on it and that's what causing my tailbone pain. Does anyone else have this issue and if so what do u do to help the uncomfortable feeling

my tailbone doesn't hurt but it is uncomfortable to sit on unpadded chairs for me. I joke with hubby and say I need a Kim kardasion or Jennifer Lopez butt, and he tells me I never had butt to begin with. i have a small lap blanket under my desk that I use sometimes, have you checked with a chiropractor? I've haven't been since operation.

Oh I feel bad for both of you but I am thrilled that I am not alone!!! it is such a weird feeling! I am about ten pounds heavier than when I was in college and I never noticed my tailbone then but I guess now with the weight loss and butt muscle loss of just getting older (Im 48). I guess squats can build up the butt muscles and I probably should get going on those! Thanks so much for posting!!!

OMG I was thinking about posting this as well! I'm around the same amount of weight loss and my tail bone hurts so bad sometimes! I was at a friend's house yesterday and after sitting on the couch for a while, I was SO sore. I get it at work really bad too but my butt doesn't look bony and my tailbone isn't protruding either. I'm definitely going to be following this post!

I went to the chiropractor once he re aligned my hips and quiet honestly I didn't feel any difference, my regular dr gave me Mobic which is an arthis medication for inflammation. I will have to try lunges and anything else that will give me Buns of steel lol, keep me posted if anyone finds a better relief, I dont really foresee myself carrying a donut pillow with me everywhere lol

I feel your pain....pun totally intended :D I have early arthritis and a compressed disc in my lower back as well, so sometimes it can be very painful. I am going to try the stair stepper or just run up and down the local stadium. I've always had a larger derrier, so it feels weird to be bony down there. It is kind of nice to sit on my hubbies lap and him say "Get your bony bum off me!" :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
