02x05 - Dropping Bombs

[bunniefuu]

[woman] Previously on

1000-lb Sisters

[Dr. Eric] You want to see

what you weigh?

- Yeah.

- Let's do it.

[Dr. Eric] 397.5.

You're an excellent candidate

to have the surgery.

[Tammy speaking]

[Dr. Eric] So we're at 644.5

right now.

[Chris] Gaining 50-lbs in

30 days,

you almost have to exert

yourself to gain that kind of weight.

[dramatic music playing]

[Chris] 50-lbs in 30 days, damn!

I didn't even know it was possible

she could gain 50-lbs in a month.

She's literally going to eat herself

to death if she don't stop. [bleep]

How do you feel about seeing

that weight?

[Dr. Eric] You didn't think

you gained that much weight?

Well, I don't think I'm

telling you anything

that's surprising you that we've got

to make some progress from there.

So what do you think

you're struggling with?

As far as your diet right now.

[Dr. Eric] OK?

[Dr. Eric] Okay,

So last time Tammy was at Dr. Proctor's

office she weighed in at 595-lbs.

Today, Tammy weighed in

at 644-lbs

and she's gained about 50-lbs.

So it really shows you how quickly

the weight can pile on for someone

at a very high weight

like Tammy started.

And how dangerous that could

be for them

to get to a point where they

become bedridden

and really not able to care

for themselves at all.

Our first goal, long term goal

is we've

got to get at least a

100-lbs off you.

[Tammy breathes heavily]

If we do not reach that, we

can't move forward with surgery.

Doctor Smith tell Tammy she

had to lose 100-lbs

and I damn near walked out

of the office because I'm like,

that's a really big number and

talking about doubling down.

I mean, that's what he did

he doubled down on Tammy.

[Dr. Eric] Chris, you definitely would

be a candidate to have the surgery.

So I'm going to give you a

goal as well.

Although I've already seen you

based on what you're telling me,

accomplish some weight loss

on your own.

I want to see you lose 15-lbs.

Okay.

I gave Chris a much lower goal

than Tammy

because he continued to

lose weight

since the last time

that he had weighed in.

So he's shown me he has

the potential

to be successful

if he continues to work at it.

What do you think, Tammy?

You're probably sitting there saying

'You jerk, you gave him

only 15-lbs

What about me?

Yeah.

There's two big reasons why

need to see that weight come down.

And first and foremost,

we have limitations

to every bit of technology

that we use.

And, so just the tubes

that we place our

instruments through

they're only so long.

And so we really have

to reduce your weight

to really give me the ability to

access your abdominal cavity.

The second reason,

and as if not more important,

is I need you to show me

that you can do what you

need to do.

Not just to get the surgery,

but I want you to show me

that you could do what I need

you to do after surgery.

[Tammy speaking]

So here's what I want you guys

to do.

I want you to get that pedometer

and a heart rate monitor for me.

I want you to be as active as you can and

walk and move around as much as possible.

But on top of that, I want you to give

me 5 minutes a day where your heart rate

is at 70%

of your maximum heart rate.

If we would have checked your

heart rate just walking to the scale

there's a good chance

it's there.

Tammy, how's that make you feel?

Do you think you can do it?

[Dr. Eric] Okay.

[Chris speaking]

So I mean, anything I can do

to help Tammy I will do.

But at the same token, I got to

get as much effort back out of her

as what I'm putting in to

help her.

[Dr. Eric] So Tammy, I would love to see

you give me 25-lbs before we meet next.

And I want to see you

in about 4 or 5 weeks.

About a month.

[Dr. Eric] Can you do that

for me?

Let's see in a month and

let's see

how much success we've made

and then we'll make it a go.

- Okay.

- Okay?

Have a safe trip back. Okay?

[Dr. Eric] Alright.

[inhales sharply]

[Tammy speaking]

- [Amy speaks]

- [man speaks]

[Amy] So today we're home from

the babymoon

and I can't wait to talk to

Tammy about her appointment

with her new doctor.

I'm nervous because I know she

ain't sticking to her diet,

but maybe this will be an eye

opener too.

Look it here, who's that?

Hey baby girl

Did you miss Mommy?

We got these shirts

while we were down in Georgia

on our babymoon. Mine says

-I love my crazy husband -And

mine says, I love my crazy wife

So tell me about

your doctor's appointment.

Amy

Oh, hold, hold on.

Oh, don't do that.

Oh! [bleep]

Ow.

[Amy] I've been having a lot of

pain, a lot of Braxton Hicks cramping.

Contraction?

[Amy speaking]

Tammy needs to get off her a*s

because I'm not always

going to be around her.

Me and Michael are actually

thinking about moving to a bigger place.

Alright, bye.

[farts]

Amy! Amy!

a*s [bleep]

[Amy speaks]

If she gets to where

she's not able to move around

that'd be like having

[Amy] I feel like we're stuck.

I mean, what more can we do?

[Amy speaks]

[Amy] Hey, Uncle Chris is here.

What's going on?

Nothing, trying to tidy up

the porch.

[Amy speaks]

- Sure.

- Okay.

Come on, Little.

[][Amy speaks]

[Chris] I like it.

Me and Michael got tired

of sitting in the same spot

all the time,

so we built a little

makeshift patio.

It's kind of neat.

I mean, we've already helped

her a lot.

- It has to be.

- Yeah

And we got to do

something because

if she continues on that path,

she's going to eat herself

to death.

God hoping, No,

[Amy] I feel like we're stuck.

I mean, what more can we do?

She don't know how

to control her portions.

You're going to be

with the baby full time.

Tammy was in a hospital

before she came

and lived with us,

and I wanted her to live here

because I knew she didn't have

nobody else

and I did not want to see her

being in a home again.

But I've tried so hard to

help her,

and sometimes I feel like

she's given up.

[Amy speaking]

Whatever.

- Hey, I made you guys presents.

- Hi.

- Aww.

- Tammy, I made you a sock monkey picture.

Oh, my God!

- For luck.

- That's right.

I mean

[Amy speaking]

We will email you links

to a virtual

party.

Basically.

Come party with the Slaton

sisters virtually

Be on call with us.

[snorts]

You could be in your house, in

your pajamas for all we care.

You know, sipping on some wine.

- What?

- You know sipping on some water

Hopefully.

So keep your eyes out for that

and we promise to make this a

one of a kind experience

for you and us.

[Amy] I'm hoping that our YouTube

followers can help Tammy. You know,

it's nice to hear praise

and adorement.

She needs support because

Tammy has to lose the weight.

Her life is literally on

the line.

[Tammy] For now, we have to go.

So thank you guys for watching

and have a nice day.

[together]

Bye YouTubers, Subscribe!

That was beautiful.

Aw, thank you. [laughs]

[Amy speaks]

[Michael speaks]

[Amy speaking]

[Amy] So me and Michael are

going house hunting

because we're thinking about

moving to a bigger place.

[phone buzzes]

- Hello.

- [Tammy on phone]

[Tammy speaks]

[Amy] Okay.

- Alright, bye b*tch.

- Bye

[Amy speaking]

- [Michael speaks]

- [Amy speaks]

Hi, guys. How're you?

[Amy] Good, how're you? Good

Thanks for meeting me today.

What kind of brings you

to the Henderson area?

Well, he works in the area,

and we need a little bit

more room

because I'm having a baby.

Oh, congratulations.

- Thank you.

- Alright.

So what we're going to do

because of the pandemic,

I'm going to keep my distance

from you.

I'm going to let you

walk through the house,

and I will meet you on the

back porch after you're done.

So I can get your feedback.

- Okay?

- Alright

Does the toilet work?

I'm sure it does.

- [Amy speaks]

- [Michael speaks]

[Amy] Yeah.

Babe! [gasps]

[snorts] [laughs]

[Amy] It really is a

dream come true.

So I need to focus on my family.

Yeah.

[Amy] Watch your step babe.

[Agent] So what you'll think?

[laughs]

I think it's called "up flush".

[laughs]

Did it say button 1, button 2?

Well if there's a button 1

it's for number one,

button 2 is for number 2.

That's all right, that's

all right.

So was there anything that

you didn't like about the house?

Because you have steps

going up here

and you have steps

at the front too.

There's a lot of changes.

We're moving to a new place,

and I just can't wait.

I'm excited to have my

own family

because

being a mom is everything I've

always dreamed of

since I was five years old.

- [Michael speaks]

- [Amy speaks]

I don't get as many

hate comments

as I did about a year ago,

so I'm just scared-

-Hey yawl it's Amy -And Tammy

And Michael.

And today, we're-

[snorts]

- Quit it.

- I'm sorry.

- Shut up.

- [giggles]

Hey! b*tch.

[Tammy laughs]

Oh yeah!

[retching sound]

[Tammy speaks]

I don't know if these people

have intentions

on trying to help by hating,

but it's not helping.

I'm an emotional eater.

And I wear my heart on

my sleeve.

I'm easy to upset

and things like that doesn't

help me.

So we're back and

we're about to help Amy

pull this

monkey-traption off her belly.

[Amy speaks]

[ripping sound]

So, guys, this is what it

looks like.

Hope you guys enjoy this video.

[Together] Thank you,

guys so much for watching.

And have a nice day!

[Amy speaks]

[Amy] It's time to tell Tammy

that we're moving.

I know that I need to move

on and

I got to do worry about

my family.

- [Michael speaks]

- [Amy speaks]

[Amy speaking]

[Michael speaks]

[Amy speaking]

Thank you.

Thank you.

About time you stick up for me.

No!

I've done it before.

Twice!

No it's not.

[Tammy speaking]

[Amy speaking]

Next time on 1000-lb Sisters

[Amy] Yeah.

I fear that Amy is using

this pregnancy

as an excuse to move away

from her.

Bariatric diet

Oh my God! He's here.

I don't know, I'm just. Ugh.

Waddup baby girl!

- How did you meet?

- The Internet.

We met in a group for big women.

Wow. I worry that Tammy's

going to sabotage her diet

because Jerry does like

bigger women.

- Have you been very transparent with him?

- No. not yet.

Jerry knows me pretty

well by now.

But there's one thing he

doesn't know.
