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!" :)

      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!!
