Ouchhh . . . My butt hurts . . . Is it the band?

I am finding that since being banded and losing almost all of my excess weight, my tail bone really aches. I notice it even more when I am sitting on the floor, or in the bathtub, or doing floor exercises. It is almost as if it had been cushioned for years by my genorous, pillowy tushy which has all but dissappeared.

Has anyone else experienced this??? Could it be that banding has become a big pain in my arse or do you think it is completely unrelated???

Geez, I can't wait until my butt hurts too!!:biggrin:

I went to disneyland recently and as where I used to fit really snug in all the rides, this time I had lots of room and even slid across the seat on a few of the rides. And my spine hurt from hitting the seat backs all day, never had that happen before.

Wow. I guess that whole saying, "Cushion for the pushing" made sense.

I can't wait until I have: protuding bones, scabs, the chills, and bruises.

Sounds awesome.

(Actually...there is no sarcasm there. :biggrin: It's the little things that we can delight in when we're at/get to goal.)

"Look Ma! Bones!"

Hey Ladies,

I'm with Glou - can't wait until I have protruding bones, chills (well, I have those now), scabs and bruises...

I don't think I've seen my hipbones EVER...and though my legs seem to have fared well during my ups and downs with weight, I'll be glad to have some bones to rub together while sleeping:lol:

I'm also looking forward to the day when my booty sticks out further than my tummy! My husband always said I had 'junk in the trunk' but I can't tell because the padding in my tummy always catches my eye first!:unsure:

Amazingly enough, this has finally gone away. I think I just needed a few months to get used to changes in my personal padding, lol. :wink_smile:

Ohhh, great laugh HeatherO. My son and I just had a great chuckle over this post.

About 7 years ago I lost about 70 lbs and I remember my tailbone and back hip bones hurt for a while. And, for maybe about a month when I lay down my front hip bones stuck out, so, when I slept on my stomach they hurt in the morning too.

...Alas that was the moment my reproductive system decided to work and well you know. Child number 2 came 9 months later.

LOL, I think we have a lot in common . . . I seem to be suffering from that affliction myself. :tongue2:
