Yup!!!  Not as much cushion for sure... but what I love most is taking up less space in seats, yay!!

Awesome NSV Keith!!!

I just noticed the same thing. It's funny, I was sitting in a chair the other night and usually I had problems of being scared to sit in it. Now I couldn't sit in it very long due to it hurting my butt! That is a NSV! :)

It does eventually get better. At least, mine did. I started having a lot of tailbone pain while sitting after losing my initial 35 or so pounds. I found that if I did "bum ups" (consciously exercising my glutes while sitting) it helped somewhat. Several months of doing that and losing a bunch more and although I admit that sitting isn't my most favourite thing, it isn't excruciating anymore. (but keep that butt moving every so often)

I don't mean to take this down a different road, but since everyone here is likely to continue to struggle with this - I will.

Although I am only 5 weeks post-op and down 22 lbs, the dreaded tailbone pain has already started. Years ago I lost 140 lbs and went to an orthopedist about my debilitating tailbone pain. He x-rayed and said my tailbone is genetically shaped a bit wrong and there is no real way to fix it other than cutting it shorter which he said is the most pain a human can experience.

I asked him why it never bothered me before. He said when we are younger the tissue in our butt is more dense and holds us up better. We can't regain that totally as we age, but working directly to build that muscle with exercise is very important.

He said once the tailbone is severely agitated it takes a very long time to stop the pain. It is very important to do what I can to avoid it in the first place. I avoid all hard seats when I can, need to sit on donuts, etc.

You might not have the severe problem I do, but the message is the same - exercise those butt muscles!

NSV=non scale victory

This was one of the first things I noticed too.  Discovering my collarbone, ribcage, and pelvis was a huge shock.  My children don't like laying their heads on my shoulders, because they say it hurts.  lol
