Question for the vets



Recommended Posts

I everyone! I lost - little over 75 pounds in the past 4 months and I am 5'5 and weigh 154.2 as of this morning.

Here's my questions....I noticed that when I sit I can feel my tail bone. If I sit on the floor it hurts! I can't do crunches on the floor because of this and it feel like I'm forever sitting on something hard! Is this normal????? This is the lowest I have ever been in my adult life so I really don't know if this is normal because I no longer have the extra cushion? But pain?? To do sit-ups??

Thanks in advance!

-Ruthie ????

Oh, yeah, Girl! I had to change positions SEVERAL TIMES on my way to WORK!!!! My tailbone, unfortunately, also extends longer than average! I can literally feel it all the time!

My suggestion, buy you one of those padded butt thingy! LOL it might be worth it, though.

And yes, I am 3 1/2 years out - below goal - I DID NOT REGAIN ANY BUTT FAT! :)

Yeah, I've begun to notice that my car seat puts pressure on my butt bone. :-0 So I'm adding squats to my workout routine to put some meat between me and the chair!

I find this so odd! It's not the first time I've read a thread about this very same thing... It happens to a lot of people. I too have this problem and it is very painful even making me grimace and sit up slowly..

But what is odd? Well I've lost this weight a MILLION times before and have NEVER had this problem??

Ive lost weight before but not this much. I though maybe there was something wrong with my spine/tail bone or is it just the lack of extra padding I've had pretty much all my life. How come I never hear thin people complain about this? I see them sitting in all kinds of positions lol

I need to get my BUTT in gear and start exercising.....yup I have not been regularly exercising. Maybe some Buns of steal on me will help!

Thanks All! I am glad its not just me! :P

I have this problem too! Sitting too much is just painful. I'm 4 months out on Friday. None of my family understand it either. Yesterday I went out to eat and focused so much on shifting around it was like I was suffering with some hemorrhoids or something lol

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
