Tammy Slaton Struggling With Nutrition Issue Amid Weight Loss
1000-Lb Sisters fans are tremendously proud of Tammy Slaton. After struggling with years of mental and physical issues, she managed to lose over 500 lbs. She’s well on her way to living a happier, healthier lifestyle. Just over the past year, fans have noticed remarkable changes in Tammy’s overall demeanor.
However, losing so much weight has required significant lifestyle changes. Tammy learned more about making necessary changes while in rehab, but she still has a long way to go.
In a new Instagram post, the TLC star revealed she’s struggling to receive enough of one particular nutritional need. Read on to get the scoop.
Tammy Slaton Admits She Needs More Protein In Her Diet
When 1000-Lb Sisters first premiered, Tammy and Amy Slaton admitted they never ate vegetables and mostly drank “sodies” at home. After many lifestyle changes, they’re learning to eat better. But even so, Tammy shared online that she needs a bit more protein to sustain her weight loss efforts.
After witnessing Tammy’s dramatic transformation, many brands expressed interest in partnering with her. Over the past several months, fans noticed Tammy promoting various weight loss products and services on her social media channels.
In a new advertisement, the TLC star revealed she was trying drinks with protein boosts because she wasn’t getting enough of the nutrients on her own.
“If you’re on a bariatric journey, then you KNOW how tough it can be to get enough protein every day,” Tammy shared on Instagram before promoting her latest partnership.
Comments included:
- “Protein is the key but I find it very expensive”
- “I lost 25lbs I need 10 more. I ate boiled eggs for protein delicious snack”
- “Protein drinks def helped me! So glad to see you feeling you and happy my dear. Been binging the show waiting on the new season!”
- “We love a protein Queen”
Is Skin Removal In The TLC Star’s Future?
Tammy Slaton has come an incredibly long way since 1000-Lb Sisters Season 1. Fans couldn’t be happier for her as she continues working toward her goals. Next, she would love to have skin removal surgery. But is it a possibility?
In the trailer for the new season, Tammy admits she’s struggling with confidence because of her excess skin. However, having it removed will be a long process and incredibly expensive.
“You’ve got head-to-toe loose skin,” her doctor reveals in the clip. “It’s going to take several operations and several healing phases.”
