Discovery: I have bones

Same here. I've lost 96 pounds with 30 still to go and it's weird to feel my hip bones and ribs. I also can't sleep with my knees touching anymore. I'm cold constantly but looking forward to summer to see if I handle heat better than before.

My wife and I have both noticed the same thing. It felt odd at first and took a while to adjust to. Sitting on a stool is no fun now.

It really is a great feeling. My husband says he feels like he'll break me when he hugs me now. I tell him I'm probably stronger overall than when I carried more weight, just less of me to hug.

I'm a side sleeper and now I wake up often because the skin over my hip goes numb.

This is hilarious, especially the sternum part. I haven't lost a ton yet but yesterday when I went to inject in my stomach there was way less to pinch. I had to lift my shirt to make sure everything was still there.

Too funny. The first time I noticed it was wild. We went out to eat and the chairs were regular ones. My butt used to be too big for them so I was secretly happy I could sit in one. Five minutes later I was begging for a booth because it felt weird and hurt in a new way. My husband asked why I was squirming like a toddler and said people were staring. I whispered that my butt felt strange and hurt. He said he could have told me there would be no padding left. I wanted to smack him with my spoon. Now I carry a big purse everywhere for cushion and people look at me funny.

As the weight came off I started feeling a pulse in my abdomen and worried it was an aneurysm. After losing 110 pounds I can now feel my normal pulses and rib cage. It's nice.

That bump is the xiphoid process. I also freaked myself out thinking it was cancer when I found mine. Did anyone start a thread when the site went down for seven hours? I was surprised no one made a big post about it like last time. I was at work but way more bored than usual without the site.

Yeah but I seem to have misplaced my butt. Anyone know where it went?

That original message sounds exactly like what happened to me too. I experienced identical changes. Now it hurts when I sit directly on the ground. But it's great that rising from a seated position on the ground happens smoothly and fast these days. Also, I saw in the reflection that my ears seemed to have grown larger throughout the period of shedding pounds.

I'm down 72 pounds and literally lost my rear. My nice desk chair at work is only comfortable for fifteen or twenty minutes now. My car seat bothers what's left of my butt and I have to recline the chair when watching TV to take pressure off. My ribs feel like they could poke through from inside. On the plus side I fit an airplane seat without being squeezed by the armrests. The trade-off is real but I'm adjusting.

I get it. I've got a killer eight-pack, it's just still wrapped in bacon. Congrats. These threads are great.

Yes, the Ozempic butt is real. My once-comfy recliner now feels like I'm sitting on concrete.

This week on a narrow flight seat I noticed the outside of my elbows have no cushion left and hurt against the armrests. Massages also don't feel as good anymore.

I'm a side sleeper and now the bones in my knees touch and bother me. I might need one of those pillows that goes between the legs. My collarbones are also very pronounced now.

Rediscovering who I really am feels so rewarding. Seeing all the accomplishments people share here makes me smile.

Two things I've noticed. All my life I couldn't feel my own pulse but now I can. And in bed I thought I had some kind of intestinal lump until I realized it was just the top of my hip bone at a slight angle. It's the little things.

The butt bones get me. Hard surfaces hurt now.

I can't use my stomach to help carry things anymore. When I try my hip instead it hurts when stuff hits bone.

Haven't seen this mentioned. I'm a 75-year-old guy, on tirzepatide since August, down 50 pounds most days. My butt disappeared and bones came back. The biggest visible change is veins. They're everywhere on my calves and arms look like they have rivers running through them. Blueish tubes show under the skin anywhere I look.
