Bottoms up.

Last season on "1000-lb sisters"...

Ow.

Amy, I need to see you lose 25 pounds.

Tammy, your weight right now is at 608.

I want to see you around 550.

Ow! My...

Just drop it.

Ugh!

Officiant: I hereby pronounce you husband and wife.

We're gonna do your surgery, Amy.

Let's see you make a real effort towards this.

Get down below 550,

and we're gonna talk about your surgery, okay?

Is it a deal?

All right.

- Good for her. - Yay!

Amy: I still have a long way to go,

but I'm really proud of myself.

Can y'all see that? Amy!

A sharpie?!

Tell 'em, like...

Oh, my damn! Oh, my damn.

♪♪

Come on, little!

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.

Tammy: Since covid, people are stuck at home

and can't go nowhere.

It's a hash brown with eggs... Scrambled eggs,

sausage gravy, and cheese.

Boredom and just the loneliness gets to you.

Covid sucks.

Hey, bitch!

Yeah, I'm coming.

After gastric bypass, you puke,

you can't , but you fart all the time.

Oh, I already got... The table.

Amy: Today me a Tammy are doing a video for YouTube

because that's our job.

That's what we do. That's what we love to do.

We don't do it for the money.

We started our YouTube channel as just a way to meet people

because we in bum Kentucky.

We don't have no friends.

Ah!

Whether it be makeup or cooking,

it's just the way to be creative.

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,

don't judge a book by its cover

you're an encyclopedia.

Excuse me.

Hey, y'all, it's Amy. And Tammy.

We're about to go to Georgia to see Dr. Procter.

We want to be safe, so we went shopping.

Misty: When Tammy's last relationship ended,

she was lonely, and I think that was a lot of the reason

I'm hurting so bad.

Aaah!

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.

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.

Got it, or you need me to do it?

Amy: All of my siblings know that I am pregnant,

so I decided to have a family cookout.

I'm excited to see everybody. It's been a long time.

No, you're... you're a dumb-ass.

Amy: But with our siblings growing up,

they were always older and out of the house,

so we didn't have that physical bond like me and Tammy have.

and married and had kids.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

Amy: When the baby gets here,

I won't be able to take care of Tammy as much.

I won't be able to bring her food every day.

Here's everything.

Misty: I try to come by and visit Tammy as much as I can,

but I have three disabled children at home.

When I heard Tammy didn't get approved

for the surgery last year, it broke my heart.

Tammy's always been a big girl.

She was born almost 10 pounds when she was born.

So she's... she's always had an issue with weight.

So what are you doing?

Aw!

Shut up!

We still talk every day and text all day long

and facetime.

I'm leery of meeting online

and getting together like that.

Misty: When Tammy's last relationship ended,

she got depressed, she was lonely,

and I think that was a lot of the reason

why she put on so much weight.

I'm just worried 'cause I think she moves too quick.

So I think it's way too early for marriage.

So how does he feel about your wanting to lose weight?

Misty: It surprised me Jerry said he likes her big,

but I thought he meant, you know,

a little filled in,

not over-filled in.

I don't know how else to put that.

You've already got an appointment

with Dr. Procter, then? Yeah.

What do you think he's gonna say when you get down there?

Yeah, but Amy's not...

All you got to worry about is you,

getting your stuff together

to be able to do what you gotta do.

True.

I'm happy for Amy. She's always wanted a baby.

I think it's gonna be really hard on Tammy.

Tammy does rely a lot on Amy,

but that'll be a lot of the adjustment,

and I think more than she realizes.

I'll take it with you. I'll walk with you.

All right.

Tammy: A few months ago, I was walking,

went a grocery store by myself without my Walker.

But I started using it again

because I started getting worse off in my knees

and got to where I couldn't walk without it.

I'm unstable on my feet.
