Thanks for posting this. I'm starting month 3 and this has been on my mind daily. I needed to be reminded of everything you said here!

Can I get a hallelujah? I agree wholeheartedly, and I would like to add: you (general you) are not a failure because you had your heart set on being a size X and didn't get there. I see posts, though thankfully not as many, in which someone is convinced she's a failure because she's a size 10 but her friend Sally is a size 2. The size in your trousers doesn't define your post op sucess. Stop comparing yourself to anyone else.

Oh boy, talk about a double entendre. That should read 'The size tag', otherwise that's a completely separate problem, possibly needing a urologist or trip to the ER after four hours.
