As funny as it sounds it really sucks that I have lost my butt! It hurts bad! Sitting down for some time hurts. Getting up after sitting for a bit hurts… any tips? Anyone have a cushion that helps them with this? Will it get less painful when I loose more weight up top?

Literally my only complaint of this process…

Okay this may or may not sound ridiculous but I assume if it is really hurting it may be a solution. They actually sell underwear that it made to wear under jeans to make your butt look better. I know they are pretty cushioned cause my aunt bought them for under her costume when she was Olivia Newton John one year. I am assuming they have different levels of padding where they would be more practical and less cosmetic. She got hers at Walmart so I’m guessing you can find them anywhere. I just realized that you are male so you may or may not want to wear these under your clothes but for the ladies these are seriously something I would consider if I lost all my padding. They didn’t look fake or anything. For the OP, I would definitely consider a cushion for when I was sitting long periods of time. Maybe one of those donut like ones to take the pressure off your tail bone. But for the record I just googled it and they do sell boxers and briefs with the padding in them for men too so idk it may be worth considering.

I had to get a pillow for my office chair - it became unbearable. This, along with getting up to move/stretch frequently helps.

I had this problem for awhile after surgery. It got better eventually with the office chair. We went to a music festival this weekend and I sat on the hard ground for hours. I couldn’t sit for two days! Not even in my recliner lol

Wait until the butt pain starts radiating up your spine. That happened to me at work & it was horrendous. Took a few days to realise the cause was my bony butt not that I had done something to my back.

Three years on & it’s a little better in that I can sit for longer periods of time without discomfort. Must have developed some calluses on my ass. Ha! Oh & I’ve been doing some exercises that are supposed to boost your butt for years & I still have no ass. Nothing there at all.

Donut cushions are probably best as they protect & take pressure off your coccyx. Oh, & I bought a thick exercise mat from Kmart a few months back because I was struggling a lot doing sit ups which I’d added to my nightly routine (pain from the bony ass & bony spine). It’s a thick foam about a centimetre thick. Made a huge difference.

So sorry you lost your butt, lol

I'm on my way to losing my butt. It's quite weird. I never thought this would happen to me, but it's okay, fat burning is a good thing, and I can't wait until I can build muscle back! 🏋️‍♀️

that's pretty common. Usually it gets better over time. I bought two coccyx cushions - one for my office chair and one for my car. I retired four years ago, but I still have one in my car for when I take long trips (and I'm over seven years out...)

I never had a butt, so yea.... haha

BUT! The last little bit I did lose doesn't seem to effect me too much. Mostly sitting on the toilet seat it kind of grinds into my butt bones and isn't comfortable.

I will say the way my skin dropped I actually look like I have more of a butt now than I ever did. (in clothes! hahah)

Dude, I feel you! I always had a big butt I'm currently trying to tone and add muscle to that area but sitting is a real problem for me. I was wondering if it was just me so thanks for posting. It's nice to know I'm not alone

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
