I've lost 75 lbs & my rear hurts! It doesn't matter how padded the surface is I can't sit for long before my tush starts to get sore. I was reading online that this can happen with weight loss as our bodies adjust to the lack of padding between our bones & the chair. I guess I need to do more squats! Nobody told me this before surgery!

    Yes! All the time. I just figured it was me- good to know I'm not alone. I guess in a way it keeps me active because there's times where I just can't sit anymore and have to get up and move. The only other time I had a problem like this was when I was pregnant- another time my body was going through a lot of changes.

    Yep. I was so excited that I could fit into my bathtub and take a nice hot bath, and after a few minutes I was over it, my butt couldn't take it lol!

    Yeah, that and my area seems to be more in the hips.
    I used to be a side sleeper and now I find myself adjusting a lot more to get comfortable :neutral_face:

    Our 12 hours in airplanes sunday/monday were great because i fit into the seat but painful on my newly non padded butt. I'll take the tradeoff!

    Haha! Guess I wondered if I was the only one who had this issue...constantly having to shift in my seat! I'll take it, though!

    If only I could "rearrange" my padding --- take from my stomach and add to my butt!!

    Definitely this, but since we are making our wish lists, I would add take some from my stomach and add it to my boobs. Gawd they are just not what they used to be lol!

    I have a desk job and use an exercise ball chair. It takes a little getting used to, but you're working the core and butt while sitting. For me, it is actually feeling better post op!

    Oh, I hate squats, but know they are crucial. My favorite place - the bathroom. Each time ya go do 10 squats before finally sitting!

    My hubby switched to an exercise ball, too. He likes it MUCH better than a chair. :)

    Oh my yes, the butt is boney now. I have been doing squats with weights and it seems to help a bit, kickboxing helps as you do kicks that use those muscles. I am thinking about getting the brazilian butt lift videos. My husband was a track star in college, he said that running should help too. I must say that the squats are shaping up my quads!

    Thank you. I feel so much less weird now. I had convinced myself that this was all in my head.
