And the rest of my life is yet to come! Exciting! I don't know where to start. One year ago this morning I had VSG and it has changed my life dramatically for the better. I can't begin to number the NSVs and SVs. They are similar to all of yours and yet they are uniquely mine. I am still learning new things about myself and about my relationship with food every single day. Thank you to all of you here and on MFP who are a support to me. If I am even a fraction as supportive to you as you are to me, then I am successful. This day deserves special celebration, but I still have not decided how I will celebrate. It will have nothing to do with food, that I can guarantee! I am open for suggestions. What did some of you do to commemorate your first surgiversary?

I love ya'll and wish you all the joy and happiness in the world. Thanks for being here with me throughout this journey.

Congrats!  1 year is a nice milestone.  

Celebrate by doing something you couldn't or hated to do a year ago!  Shop for some new clothes maybe?
