Tammy Slaton has been off social media for the past month, but she made her return to Instagram on Wednesday (September 27) with a series of selfies. A filter was used on each selfie, but fans were quick to notice how much thinner her face and neck looked as she continued her incredible weight loss journey.
In the comments section, one fan asked if the 37-year-old had any tips for those starting their own weight loss journey. The 1000-Lb. Sisters star responded with a few nutritional tips that have helped her maintain her weight loss following bariatric surgery – ‘eat proteins, low carbs, no sugars, no pop, portion control.’
The comments were filled with encouraging messages from fans who are happy to see her continuing to lose weight and maintaining a much healthier lifestyle than she’s used to – especially after her near-death experience at the end of Season 3, which resulted in her being placed in a medically-induced coma.
ot long after she posted her most recent selfies, she posted two videos in response to two comments she received – one of which asked her to show herself without using a filter and the other asking her to show herself without wearing glasses. She obliged and politely told her fans to ‘have a nice day, babe.’
The series of selfies and videos come after a one-month break from social media. She last posted on August 25, when she posted two photos of her standing in front of a mirror – her weight loss was obvious. She also posted a series of photos that showed off her cooking skills a few days prior (August 22).
“Even though I can’t eat much doesn’t mean my family shouldn’t eat good and I’m finally able to show off my cooking skills just cool me chef TT or chef TamTam lol,” she wrote in the caption. Her weight loss surgeon, Dr. Eric Smith, commented that she ‘might need to bring some of that for us to try at the office.’
Slaton has clearly ‘wised up’ about her health over the past year and is already seeing the results. In May, she told PEOPLE that her lungs are now strong enough that she had her tracheostomy tube taken out and she no longer needs her oxygen machine during the daytime – though she still needs it at night.
