Amy: It's been four months since

I had weight-loss surgery.

So far, I lost 124 pounds,

my weight right now is 282.

Growing up, I honestly didn't

think I would live past 30

because I was fat,

I was depressed.

But now I'm getting skinny

and getting healthy.

I never dreamed that I would be

living this good of a life.

That's what we love to do.

We don't do it for the money.

We started our YouTube channel

We don't have no friends.

Ah!

Whether it be makeup or cooking,

it's just the way

I was kind of scared

that I would lose followers.

But I'm getting more love

now that I'm actually

getting healthy.

But Tammy still has haters.

It's like that old saying,

The doctor told me that

he'll have to take an X-ray

to see how much

you're clogged up.

In order for you

to get an X-ray,

you have to take

a pregnancy test and all that.

So I did the test.

He come back in, he goes,

"we can't do the X-ray

because you're pregnant."

I'm like, "what?"

All right.

[ Line ringing ]

Yeah!

Tammy: Wow.

I mean

Amy: It's only been a couple

months since I had the surgery,

and Dr. Procter told me not to

get pregnant for two years.

Oops.

I wonder how long

we'll have to wait to have kids.

How long should you wait

to have kids?

That's a great question.

Honestly, two years.

- Two years?

- Two years.

Oh, my goodness.

Yeah, I know it seems like

a long time, but right now,

if you got pregnant,

you'd be a high-risk pregnancy.

It'd be dangerous for the baby.

You can get into some bad

nutritional deficiencies.

You can even have

permanent neurological damage

if you're not taking

the right vitamins

over a long period of time.

So we want to make sure we've

got you on the right thing.

You've already got

an appointment
