The Slaton Sisters / Amy Slaton & Tammy Slaton - The 1000 Pound Sisters

Didn't Amy date her brother for a few years when she was a teen though?

I don’t remember this particular thing and I don’t think it happened, I may be wrong tho.

The parents may not be related but they could be the outcome of some inbreeding that happened in the past in their respective families.
I’m mildly curious about their family history, I’m willing to bet that we would find a lot of unspecified mental illnesses, miscarriages, youth deaths not related to common diseases and other signs of what I can only call “bad genes” for lack of better terms.
 
So I've finally managed to watch this weeks episode, and was happy to see that Amy did see a plastic surgeon with enough reserve to tell her she had to lose significantly more fat before any plastic surgery. I have to wonder whether TLC set that up, as well as how the hell Amy thought she could possibly find the $50-60k that all those surgeries would cost. Amy isn't in a "weightloss plateau" as she keeps saying, she's just still over-eating. I also think she's in a lot of denial over how many calories are going in her gob, because there is no way in Hell that a baby is eating more than she is. If she is really only 265lb (X to doubt) then to be not losing anymore weight she's gobbling and guzzling at least 2500 calories a day...and that's not even taking the malabsorption calories from her bypass into account. You can pretty much add another 25% onto that figure due to malabsorption, meaning she's likely taking in around 3125 calories a day. How can she possibly be feeding that many calories a day to Gage?
 
I don’t watch the show but would bet all of these swamp walruses are drinking high calorie sodas all day long. Even if they were eating semi-decently, that would sabotage any weight loss.
The only time Amy has eaten "semi-decently" was during her last chance pre-operative diet, and even then it took her three visits to the bariatric surgeon plus dietician and therapist appointments before she lost the measley 25lb that was required. She could have achieved that easily in one month given her 400lb plus starting weight. Even Tammy could have easily dropped the initial 50lb that was required of her initially within a month, if she really tried. Amy indulged herself "off-plan" all through her (WLS forbidden) pregnancy because she "wanted to enjoy being pregnant" despite being a diabetic, and she's often been edited to be eating restaurant/Cafe/take out ever since. Even though she has a smaller stomach pouch now, it's very easy to eat your way around the restriction by consuming highly processed calorie dense foods, and grazing on food throughout the day. "Sodies" have always also been a feature of the Slaton's diet.

The mantra of post-op WLS diets is "solid protiens first" because they fill the pouch and remain undigested for the longest time so are infinitely more satiating than highly processed junk food or simple carbohydrates. I don't think I've ever seen either sister cooking and sitting down to a steak or chicken breast, even eggs would be preferable to anything they're buying in. These hillbillys really believe the surgery is a magic bullet, despite being told many times that it absolutely isn't. I give Amy 12-18 months at most before she's back over 400lbs lamenting why the surgery didn’t work for her while sitting down scoffing a smorgasbord of food at their favourite Mexican restaurant with a very chubby Gage struggling to fit in the high chair.

For real.

Cutting soda out alone does wonders for losing and maintaining.
It's a good start for those who consume lots of it, but it's absolutely not going to enough for any morbidly obese person to achieve and then maintain a "normal BMI". That requires a complete diet and lifestyle change regardless of having WLS.
 
Little Bit is probably 16 or 17 now. She must have lost some teeth because in the past few years her tongue started sticking out. We see her outside so I assume she does go when she's out there. But now that you mention it, I do wonder if Amy puts down pee pads. A dog that age tends to get a bit loopy and have accidents.
Poor amy. She will 100% cry. She loves dat baybay

The Amy-love-fest reminds me of the other TLC-hero-worship-fests. The Willis Fam....everyone thought the dad and mom were amazing parents and so "Christ-like"; then the penny dropped and we learned that dad had been raping his kids for years. The Roloff's were uber-Christian, little people who were all about advocacy: until they were revealed to be drunk driving, racist, bigots. The Gosseleins: not even going to start with how much fawning and grifting took place with this clusterfuck. The Duggars? Nuff said. My point is that TLC seems is the moth to the proverbial, dumpster fire flame. Frankly, the authorities should just hire TLC to find all of the criminals in North America because their track record is bangin'. So, the same people kissing Amy's ass and buying into the underdog story will be the same people who end up pearl clutching on Reddit in six months. And, we shall all be there for that glorious day. :)


Wait wait wait. The roloffs, the midget farm pumpkin catapult guys were driving all drunk? With their weird midget pedal elongation things?

Lmfaooooo. I cant. Matt the tiny dad with his tiny crutches catapulting pumpkins while wasted? Thats content.

Still laughing

I wonder what would happen if they all stepped back from Tammy and stole her iPad and phone and let her be by herself for a day or two. I bet she would be a lot more appreciative if she saw what her life would be like without them. She might end up dead, and I don't think any jury would consider taking someone's iPad and phone and not helping them wipe their ass to constitute homicide.
I think Tammy would walk ricky-tick and lose some weight. There's no constitutional right to junk food and tiktok.
Wait, really??
Yep. Go check out the Quiverfull thread.
"I don't want him to be fat and get bullied" Unfortunately, he's already doomed. His father lacks basic self awareness and only responds to stimuli. Also lol at dumb bitch Amy blowing bubbles in his face, when those bubbles pop they leave a nasty soap-like residue. wtf
Yeah, that ship has sailed. Kids learn by example. If mom and dad are couch potatoes, then the child is a couch potato. Unless she's going to start schlepping him to activities or making her home a place where he can welcome friends and not be mortified, Gage will have issues. Until Amy stops pretending to have toxoplasmosis in her eyes and no control over her poverty/weight loss/living situation, nothing changes.

The very same! Yeah. Matt was nailed on DUI, hauling ass back to the farm one night. Then, Jeremy and Audrey went all "Christian influencer" and started stumping for Trump. Jacob, the sane Roloff (and that's saying something) cut ties for a while.
 
That scene with the therapist was painful. Instead of answering the therapist's very basic questions, Tammy grunts and scowls.
Tammy not only refuses to help herself, she acts petulant about it, like a child.
The fact that she can’t even be bothered to say “I don’t want to talk about that” is one of a million reasons why recovery in any sense of the word is impossible for her.
Granted, the therapy appointment was not her call and having my session with a therapist I don’t even want to be seeing filmed would probably put me on edge too but that’s no excuse for her attitude.

Felt bad for that therapist, she actually wanted to help her and she seemed like a sweet lady.

Tammy really is an asshole . I'm sure she has always been one but all of the youtube attention and the tlc show has made it worse .

I've been working on the Slaton family tree. It's not ready to share yet, but so far I haven't found any technical inbreeding (Papa Slaton DID marry his cousin's ex wife though and Chris' sister Amanda is married to Michael's brother Jason). But there are some shocking things - like Mama Slaton's brother Charles murdered their dad by spiking his iced tea with antifreeze so he could get his life insurance payout.

Edit: Tam Tam is the spitting image of their dear departed daddy...

Excellent find!!! I suspect we’ll find more weird shit but this is very interesting. That family is a mess 😂

Wow I see a little of both Amy and Tammy...do they have the same father or am I imagining things?
