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!" :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
