My butt hurts?!!!
I noticed it about 3 months out but then I started getting used to it, I guess because it really only bothers me now when I sit on something hard for a really long time, like the bleachers at a 3 hours ballgame. I think I cross my legs alot now, too, which moves the weight from one hip to the other. That's new for me....the crossing legs part.
I weighed 313 pounds on December 1, 2008 the day of my RNY surgery and have lost 81%
of my excess body weight to-date. Current as of November 1, 2009
OH Mini-Challenge Goal for New Year's Day is 170 pounds. 11 pounds to go!

And as far as I can tell, it never goes away. I call it "hurty butt" and I have it after road trips to Dallas (which are frequent right now since I'm in the process of moving.)Let me know when you get settled enough to meet for lunch or something.

Yep, that was me...Im always referring to how "normal" Im starting to feel and "normal" things I do. People look at me weird. They must be thinking "Well how ABNORMAL was she?".....

U tell me that I sin,
U say Im bound for hell,
So once ur judgment condemns U,
I SHALL SEE U THERE. 
I'd rather be an OPEN sinner
than a FALSE saint...
What Meggie said, and LOL @ "carpal butt syndrome" . 
This is a common phenonmenon a few months out from WLS, and I have read it explained that it is due to the lack of "cushion" (i.e. fat) that we had in that area before, which causes the nerves in that area (i.e. the "tailbone") to be unduly sensitive to presure for awhile, like a form of neuralgia .. Eventually the nerves with "adjust" / toughen up (for want of a more scientific explanation) in that area ..

Frank talk about the DS / "All I ever wanted to be was thin, like that Rolling Stones dude ... "

Yes, that;s my mantra...except I use the A word instead of butt. I have a butt pillow that i take in the car, its just a squishy pillow. I haven't gotten a donut pillow yet. I do cross my legs alot these days, and that was an amazing occurrence the first time it happened. WOOHOO even. It helps to shift the weight from one butt cheek to the other. I know that I must say out loud at least 20 times a day, "MY A$$ hurts!" It motivates me to get up off of it and do something more often than not.
