I've found two negatives from major weight loss!

Yeah the boney butt feels like sitting on jagged rocks! Also, boney knees have been hurting me. At night trying to sleep on my side with on one leg on top of the other I have to realign my knees so they aren't on top of each cause it freakin hurts.

Mine is my collar bones, I keep thinking someone could just tear them out, and actually seeing definition in my muscles through what fat is left, I feel like I'm wearing a costume of a fat guy, but I'm buff inside..........lol sort of

Yes! I try to tuck one knee behind the other. I've tried one of those pillows in between my knees but I toss and turn too much to keep it there.

I never noticed I have coarse hair on my upper arm, but now that the surface area is smaller, all the little follicles have gotten together and become bushy friends. And I have added an ergonomic pillow to my office chair because I lost so much of my "natural" padding. ;-)

I lost hair, not only on my head. All my armpit hair is gone, or maybe turned into very fine blond/grey wisps. On my legs, I just pluck the few longish dark hairs that remain or ignore them altogether. The hair on top of my head has gone from thick, straight and strong, to curly, frizzy and thin. I don't know if this is from the weight loss, or from genetics. As my mom got older, she lost a lot of hair too.

I've unfortunately gained back 20 pounds and am no longer in onederland, but this hasn't made any difference to the changes in my hair status!

Maybe try waxing the armpits?

You can also get a knee pillow

Waxing is the only way to go!

      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.

      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!!
