Dining out after bariatric surgery…
Since I let it be known that I had bariatric surgery, I get asked so many questions, and I love it! One of the questions I get hit with all of the time is, Do I still go out to eat? If I do…what do I eat? To answer the first question…of course, I go…
Back in the day…Pt. 2
Growing up in Columbus, Ohio I’ve seen a lot of stores, places and things come and go. I know people older than me have seen many more comings and goings than people my age have. I just want to visually reflect on these places that we miss. No explanation should be needed as to why…
Why I got rid of my Apple Watch
I’ve had my Apple Watch for 4 years…now what? I know…GET RID OF THAT BISH! No need to upgrade, no need to try another “smartwatch,” it’s just time to move on. It’s time to start detaching myself from much of the technology that I’ve come accustomed to. It honestly feels like my life has been…
My grocery shopping method…
Grocery shopping goes along with this lifestyle change. It’s probably one of the most important parts of this journey. You have to eat. There’s nothing wrong with eating. Yes…you won’t be able to eat as much, but don’t let that fool you. You will still spend a coin. I’ve mentioned how I enjoy grocery shopping…
Why I’m leaving my bariatric program
As much as I hate doing it…I had to do it. And “it” is leaving my bariatric program. After a year and a half, post-op…they’re tripping; like REALLY tripping! I haven’t met with my surgeon in six months. The reason I bring that up is this past Tuesday I was supposed to meet with my surgeon…
90’s hip-hop raised me…Part 3
….in conclusion! “C.R.E.A.M.” – Wu-Tang Clan (1993) – Another self-explanatory song just by the title alone. GET THE MONEY!!! I’m all about my coin and being comfortable. Wu-Tang let us know early on the rules on what should rule. “Gotta Get Mine” – MC Breed featuring 2Pac (1993) – If I’m out here hustling to…
90’s hip-hop raised me…Part 2
Let’s go.…. “Can’t Truss It” – Public Enemy (1991) – One of the many old-school hip-hop tracks that’s still relevant today. You can’t trust shit anymore, nothing or no one. This was the song that brought this to my attention. To this day…I don’t trust a damn thing. Like they say in the song…”just watch…
’90’s hip-hop raised me…Part 1
I’m a true ’90’s kid to the bone. As much of a history buff as I am…there’s no other era that I would’ve wanted to come of age in. The ’90s were such a fun time. The fashion, the music, the movies, TV shows…just everything going on spoke fun. Hanging out at Northland and City Center…
Real Talk: How to prepare yourself for bariatric surgery – Step 1
