Question:
Why does my butt hurt all of a sudden?!?
Hi everyone, I am almost 3 months post-op and for the past month, I noticed that I can't sit for long on the floor or any other hard surface for more than 5 minutes without my tushy being sooooooo sore! Last night at church, I was sitting on a regular chair and OMIGOD I was in pain! Is this because there's less cushion? How do thin people handle sitting anywhere then? Also, what can I do to help it if any? Any exercises to build the muscle up? — Iris B. (posted on December 25, 2002)

Yes it is because the fat is melting away and lack of muscle tone...I am
also 3 months out and experiencing the same thing, oh well there are worse
things to deal with, like too much cusion!!! (:

Welcome to the club! Yes it is because we have lost our fat cushion and the
bones in the tush don't like it. How do I handle it? I figet and wiggle
alot... and just plain get up and walk around before I sit again. Even a
heavly padded chair hurts my butt now. Sure wish I had this wonderful
problem YEARS AGO. ;)

When we don't exercise while losing weight, the fat leaves, & muscles
as well. If you exercise your gluteus maximus & minimus, you will have
muscles to sit on that don't hurt so much. Active sex builds gluts (it's
true!)-SMILE!

Remember, we've had all this extra "cushion" and now we don't
have it anymore and it's going to take a while to get used to it. I had
the same problem.

I was saying the exact same thing a couple of weeks ago at a restaurant
that had hard wood booths. I think it is because my rear is a little on
the bony side now. But you are right it does hurt.

Loss of padding that hasn't been replaced by muscle. There are exercises
to build the muscles. However, I haven't done them and my butt rebels
against anything that isn't well padded. I walk at my lunch every day at
work and at the end, if I have time, I like to sit by the fountains before
going back to the office - that concrete wall gets harder every day - LOL.
