I understand when it’s your own kids but not about others. If anybody ever said that in person they’d be clocked on the floor. Btw, your son must be a little cutie with a great personality 🩵 I love the little toughies….so much fun🥰 | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-10-08 |
Wow! I’m from Australia and I had no idea NEW YORK was so big | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-29-07 |
I've been b8nge watching the full 5 seasons the last week, on ep 3 of S5 here now.
Sometimes I've had to turn it off tho when I feel my blood pressure rising watching Amy 😡
It's just some of the stuff she comes out with is frustrating, I think TLC play up on her Dumb Redneck act, if it is an act that is 😆 | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-08-08 |
I wish that had been addressed before they just ended things. Maybe with specialized help they could have made it work. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
I've just started watching it the other day and I'm on season 3 episode 5, I don't like to say I hate anyone but Tammy makes it very very hard not too. She's so childish and won't do anything for herself, if she was my sister she'd have been cut off a long time ago.
She said she doesn't need any help from Amy, just do her shopping, cook for her and do her washing ffs what's left 😒 😑 she makes me so angry | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-07-08 |
Haven't got that far yet but if your a hateful bitch for 36 years losing weight isn't goni change that 😉 | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-07-08 |
I can't say I dislike Michael cos he never speaks, the poor fella has been told not to open his mouth. I haven't got to them splitting up but there's no way I could stay married to someone who spent more time looking after a lazy assed sister than with her family | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-07-08 |
Amy seems to bruise easily. I'm just curious if she has a health issue related to that? | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-26-07 |
Oh my gosh...those bruises on her legs!! I can't remember what her actual hair looks like. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-26-07 |
She has no visible missing teeth, but the woman in the sunglasses is missing a front tooth. And we have no way of knowing who is clean and who isn’t from a photo lol. Amanda’s hair is up in a bun and frizzy, it’s just not blue. Amy’s toenails are painted and the other ladies’ toenails aren’t.
If you’re bored, go through my profile and roast one of my pics. You seem to be good at seeing things through a photo! | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-26-07 |
Oh, yes. This family is so damaged. I hope that they turn out okay. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-01-08 |
I think it’s been discussed that throughout the family and children of all of the siblings that only one of the kids is actually thin. All of the rest are overweight to severely obese. I tend to think Amy’s two boys are going to battle this as well because Michael’s family also has weight issues and Amy has never changed her lifestyle when it comes to food. They are sweet little boys too. I just love gages smile 😊 | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-04-08 |
yes I have noticed that all the children seem to have weight issues. We can only hope that with almost all of the siblings losing weight maybe it will have an impact on Amy’s boys.
I know Amanda has lost a lot and she spends a LOT of time with the boys so maybe she’ll have a positive effect on them. Sadly I don’t see Amy teaching them how to eat properly or exercise when she doesn’t seem to be doing that herself.
They are cute boys! One thing that made me crazy is before Amy had Glen whenever we saw her with Gage she would let him run wild and not make him mind. Remember him at the hair salon? 🫣 Now that she has Glen she’s having a hard time with gage not minding and she acts like she doesn’t know why. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-04-08 |
If she is taking a blood thinner, that may be the reason. I went off mine because of excessive bruising. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-04-08 |
I think the woman in the sunglasses has a gap instead of a missing tooth. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-04-08 |
I joined Reddit a couple of months ago to get the tea on VPR and joined some other groups and have been dismayed at the toxicity here. Lotta hate. In fact if a thread is too hateful I quit reading it. That’s why I prefer Quora. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-04-08 |
Have you taken Arnica? It makes the bruising g away quicker. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-04-08 |

Amamda is the only one of the girls that I think has pretty looks, seeing recent pics of Tammy tho I'd say she would have been a lovely looking girl if she hadn't had the weight issues. Hopefully she gets her skin removal surgery and ends up having a better looking shape to her | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-08-08 |

Although just because she’s at a healthy weight doesn’t mean she’s healthy. Definitely made great great bounds, but coming 100% back from 700+ pounds isn’t just about weight it’s joints, the trac, mobility, stamina, strain on your organs. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |

If her surgery was mal-absorptive she also could not be getting enough of the needed vitamins and nutrients needed as well. Her iron could be low and she could be anemic. Those bruises in her leg look painful! | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-01-08 |

What 😳 I thought She was 50 at least 🙈 | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-28-07 |

You can't imagine being with someone 10 years older? Or is he older? I don't even know. FWIW, my husband is 8 years older than me. Seven, from January through April. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-31-07 |
Not much different than when ladies refer to men as their husband, when they're not married. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-31-07 |
I wouldn't be with someone more than 3 years older than me. Thankfully I am married and don't have to worry about it (we are only 4 months apart). I don't judge those who are (as long as it was appropriately done. No underage relationships or grooming). | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-31-07 |

Anyone can say that. People always suppose to have seen someone irl and they are rude or someone read that someone said that. People literally go out their way just to do say that like you just did. She’s human. People don’t have to be friendly to every single person. She owes no kindness to people especially to folks who do she said he said. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-11-08 |

I'm vaguely remembering someone saying she has some kind of disorder where she has a really round face, which makes her look quite youthful, as most people lose volume in their faces as they age. 🤷♀️

Dr Procter is an asshole. His bedside manner is shit and he seems to hold so much animosity and judgement towards his clients and their journeys.
Vs Dr Smith who seems to genuinely care, have empathy towards his clients, and approach them with gentleness and understanding.
It's not at all surprising that Tammy didn't do well under Dr P's care given how harsh he is in his approach. He irritates the fuck out of me.
Am I the only one? | r/1000lbsisters | post | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
Compared to Dr. Now, he’s a pushover. DAT IS NOT ON DE DIET! | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
It's a highly-edited entertainment show | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
I dont think Dr. Proctor had terrible bedside manner at all. Most people seeking weight loss surgery at the extreme level like Tammy was need someone who is going to give them cold hard facts about their prognosis, life expectancy and set very clear strict expectations and boundaries if the patient wants to remain under their care/in their program. And that’s what Dr. Proctor does, he’s hard on them for wasting his time and potentially taking a sought after appointment from someone else who maybe IS ready to full commit to changing their lifestyle. And when patients come in having lost the weight necessary he does seem truly happy and proud of them. I genuinely don’t mean this in a mean or judgemental way, but so many of the patients in my 600lb life, as well and Amy and Tammy are used to using very manipulative/abusive tactics to get their food fix by any means necessary. I recognize majority of the people on these shows have had very traumatic issues that led to their food addiction but choose not to take advantage of the therapy options given to them to address the root problem either. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |

When I was at my largest I wish I had someone like Dr. Proctor pushing me and telling me like it is. To me he doesn’t come across as mean or judgy. He seems like he cares.

Wow. Yes, I think you are the only one who thinks this. People LOVED Dr. Proctor. He needed to be HARDER on Tammy! And Tammy got over the finish line. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
I remember the episode where she was supposed to be still on liquids and she tried to eat a breakfast burrito I think and he is like WTH no. Lol | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
I also kind of thought that, especially because that kind of attitude may work on some people and make it click that they are delusional about the situation they're in, but for many like Tammy, it can give them an excuse to give up if they feel like they can't do it, which is exactly what she did. I do also understand you have to find your own reason to realize something has to change. Luckily she did but many others probably don't.
Idk there's nuance to it so its complicated I guess, and that's why you should shop around for doctors and not just pick the first one you find if it doesn't seem like a good fit. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |

He’s can be so mean but I agree with his approach, patients need to be told the truth and they need to be honest with themselves and the drs. Especially when they are at such a risk of dying because their bodies will give up soon. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
These patients’ lives can depend on them following the doctor’s instructions. Some patients don’t want to admit how serious their health conditions are.
Some straightforward talk might help them. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
I was always shocked Amy got the surgery so quick, 25lbs in two months, which she quickly showed she wasn’t ready for by eating solid food right after. I’ve always wondered if she had to go through the other steps like her siblings (meeting with specialists, quitting smoking, etc…) it’s highly edited so it’s possible it just seemed hers was fast. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
I agree with you. Different patients have different needs, and part of good bedside manner is assessing what someone needs.
Tough love is not a good approach for everyone. Dr Proctor would take that approach, but it only seemed to create feeling of shame for Tammy, which isn’t helpful to her. And then he basically said she was wasting his time and dropped her as a patient. That is so unhelpful.
Dr Smith was such a better fit for Tammy. He was patient, and honest about the need for her to lose weight and the urgency, but never acted like she was wasting his time when she didn’t meet their goals. He told her multiple times he would stick with her and continue seeing her as a patient whenever she was ready to commit. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |

Tammy was pushing the limits of her body and was close to dying. Unfortunately, she wasn’t ready to make changes and no behavior from Dr Proctor was going to change that. He was trying to get through to her the seriousness of her situation. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
I think that both of these doctors are fabulous. They have different styles but both are direct about what needs to be done. Neither fat shames non compliant patients, but both are specific of what the steps are required for moving forward with them. It’s the patient’s option to try a different path with a different doctor. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
That's fair. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-27-07 |
I feel like you'd be frustrated or annoyed, too, if your patients weren't doing any work or were outright sabotaging themselves and getting worse. It would at some point feel like a waste of your time. And although it would be natural to feel that way, Dr Procter didn't even express anything like that. There were many times I could see him either trying to bite his tongue or phrase something in the gentlest way possible, and I could definitely intuit his frustration, but his frustration wasn't overt, misplaced, or inappropriate. He did a better job being kind and respectful than I could have. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-28-07 |

If you think dr Procter is an asshole, you should watch the dr from my 600 lb life. Now that guy I would get if you complained about. Maybe I’m only just on season 2 but dr proctor has crazy compassion. Personally I don’t think his approach is harsh.
imagine being a doctor and holding in your frustration when your patients continuously lie and make excuses about not losing enough weight or gaining weight or following the instructions that are often times very serious. He has been civil and had expressed his disappointment in professional and kind manners even when you can visibly see his frustration. As someone who’s suffered from severe “tough love” to the point where it’s verbal abuse, dr proctor is giving at most a kind tough love at times.
I do wish he tried better at understanding Tammy’s (and amy’s) source of eating trauma from the get-go and referred her to a regular weekly therapist, but I don’t think that negates from him having empathy towards his patients. I think Tammy didn’t do well (once again, just started season 2 ep 2 to be specific, so if I’m saying something not up to date then that may be why) because she straight up was not mentally ready and did not have it all in her to actually commit. Food addiction is hard. Weight loss is hard. Obviously I can only imagine what the sisters have gone through mentally to get to the point where they were at when they started this show. I am overweight and have been since a teen, but not obese, so while I can empathize and imagine what it’s like to be in their shoes, obviously I am not them.
But imo to say he is an asshole is 100% reaching. I think dr Procter definitely has had enough of Tammy’s antics. Tammy’s trauma and mental health is not an excuse for the way she has been treating others and blatantly lying and acting like she has no idea why she hasn’t been losing weight. If dr proctor drops her (which I’m assuming he does) it won’t be because she’s going up and down in weight. It’s because I would be absolutely fucking tired of patients wasting my time and straight up lying to me after time and time again and being irresponsible.
Edit: LMAO just after I typed this up he “dropped” her as a patient. That was literally the most compassionate and professional thing he could’ve done and said. He has a right to be disappointed and annoyed but boy did he not show it. He is literally holding an impromptu intervention with the whole family at the appt about how he is worried that Tammy will straight up die. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-28-07 |
I appreciate this comment a lot. I don't really remember the early seasons as well, and didn't remember the intervention at all.
I think it's him not trying to understand the source of the addiction/behavior and the fact that he did not refer them to MH care, but that could have also been edited out. Plus, Tammy probs wouldn't have utilized those referrals anyway.
But you (and others who have brought this up) are right that at some point if his patients aren't taking the process as seriously as he needs them to/they need to in order to get where they're trying to go it does end up wasting his time and taking away opportunities from those who are ready to. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-28-07 |
That's cool to know! I do recognize the show is heavily edited and doesn't give everyone a fair run of it. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-28-07 |
I absolutely would be frustrated too.
I think my response to this also comes from a place of having dealt with my own addiction struggles in the past and recognizing how little the tough love approaches ever helped me, how they pushed me deeper into shame and guilt driven behaviors, and I empathize with Tammy in that regard.
It's not Drs responsibility to do the hand holding, and also recognize how that from Dr Smith and him sticking by her until she did get her shit together to commit did help her. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-28-07 |
