And for the record, I didn’t need any more toxicity in my life. But as with many things I have endured in my life, I had to learn the hard way. Going through something that was pretty much life or death made me re-evaluate where I was channeling all of my energy. I was angry…
So I went back under the knife a week ago for another major surgery. This surgery was not planned at all. I wasn’t going to say anything at all, but this is much bigger than me. I’ve discussed my issues before with severe acid reflux that I started suffering from after my Bariatric surgery almost…
Only a handful of people know what I have been through health-wise over the past couple of months. It’s been a lot and I will open up about it one day, but right now I am not ready. Hell…it’s still a lot to comprehend. Just know that I am good right now, not out of…
On this day, 3 years ago I had bariatric surgery which has changed my life forever. This has been a journey, to say the least, and not an easy one as many people would like for you to believe. Now let’s talk about how it’s been and where I’m at in this journey. As of…

In a previous post, I talked about what I learned in 2019 and how I plan to proceed going forward. I usually don’t speak too much about what I want to do and where I want to go. I’ve always been a private person about everything. However, this journey I’m on is teaching me to…
One of the most annoying drawbacks of having bariatric surgery is that you have to take vitamin supplements for the rest of your life. I guess this same logic goes for anyone who is lacking in certain nutrients. It becomes a part of your daily routine, at least it should, but it can also become…
Actually, I bought two pairs of jeans. And if you could care less or wonder what the big deal is…
! I could have worn jeans before surgery but you know I am going to keep it real with y’all. There were many reasons why I hadn’t worn jeans in years. One…because of my small waist…
I get many questions about my bariatric surgery, but one that I get asked all of the time is…Why do y’all talk about food so much? Usually, the question is left at that, but we all know what they want to say. Food is what put you in the situation to get weight loss surgery…
