Tammy Slaton, star of the reality show 1000-Lb. Sisters, has been showcasing her impressive weight loss journey on social media. She recently shared a picture on Instagram sitting poolside with her friend Haley Michelle, wearing a blue-and-silver swimsuit. Haley captioned the image with words of support for Tammy’s weight loss journey.
Tammy has been updating her fans on her progress and accomplishments in her weight loss journey, with many leaving supportive comments on her posts. People have been praising her for her transformation and encouraging her to keep up the good work. Tammy expressed her happiness at being able to swim again, something she loves to do, thanks to her weight loss efforts.
The TLC reality star, who appears on 1000-Lb. Sisters with her younger sister Amy Slaton, has lost over 400 pounds recently. Tammy revealed that in addition to the health benefits, her weight loss has allowed her to start thinking about learning to drive. Despite feeling anxious about it, she mentioned taking baby steps towards that goal and even having tried driving a golf cart.
In September 2022, Tammy underwent gastric bypass surgery, which played a significant role in her massive weight loss. She shared with People magazine in June 2023 that the surgery helped strengthen her lungs enough to have her tracheostomy tube for breathing removed. She now only uses her oxygen machine at night and keeps her BiPap machine on hand during the day for monitoring her oxygen levels.
Since the surgery, Tammy has been diligently following her health and diet goals. One of the most challenging adjustments she had to make was cutting back on her consumption of soda pop, something she referred to as “sodies.” She mentioned in a TikTok video from November 2023 that she now only drinks a couple of 12-ounce cans a day, and sometimes not even that, proving her commitment to her weight loss journey and improved health.
