I can’t diagnose anyone just seeing what TLC chooses to show us. I don’t know what her diagnosis is, but I can understand why she maybe had a hard time accepting that she used to be the sister who had it all and Tammy wasn’t. Seeing Tammy do better when everyone seriously doubted she ever would probably stung Amy’s ego... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-17-08 |

Thank you for being so open. Can a psychotic breakdown happen all of a sudden with bipolar disorder or does it usually occur after a buildup of different stressors?

Thank you for your input. You brought up a great point about her not being able to cope as well after surgery because I had weight loss surgery a few years back & it was rough not being able to physically eat until whatever negative emotion I had went away. Weight loss surgery cures the body but not the mind for sure. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-18-08 |

Postpartum brings on a lot. As a mother of 3 myself, it’s hard. The pregnancy takes away from your teeth, your hair, your mental health and your physical health!

So I have a lot of relatives diagnosed bipolar. Usually the symptoms are there when a teenager, but getting a diagnosis can be very difficult. So if she knew she had an issue, when pregnant she had to go off of any medications that are deemed harmful. For example lithium.

So, I'm 2 weeks out from my gastric sleeve surgery. I'm on a very strict pre-op diet. I attended a "class" yesterday that instructed us how to eat pre and post-surgery.

I’ve had two bariatric surgeries (three if you count the removal of the lap band). I would say that the way it’s depicted on the show is a combo of editing and Amy just not being educated enough on the process. But yeah none of how it unfolds from the lead up to surgery to afterwards is how it’s supposed to go. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-15-08 |
My surgery was in 2002. I was scared to death to misstep, and if I did, it hurt incredibly. People like her do this, stretch out, and probably get it done again. She's definitely not a good representation of the process. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-15-08 |
it's reality tv, i think any responsible bariatric surgeon would give their patients pre-op/post-op diet instructions. tlc probably just didn't want to show that to us and maybe just lied about the timeline. and amy very deliberately disobeyed dr proctor's instructions to not eat solid food so soon after the surgery an... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-15-08 |
I had Duodenal Switch surgery in 2021. 1 week prior to surgery was 5 protein shakes a day.

I had a gastric sleeve procedure on 2nd July and yeah, no solid food for 6 weeks. As we know, Amy isn’t overly blessed in the brains department, and the stuff she did post surgery is dangerous.

I had the sleeve done.
Like someone else said, it's "reality" TV, which means it's mostly horse doo.
The editors probably assume that most viewers have no idea about what all goes into having the surgery and to recover from it.
Sometimes, seeing Amy and the fool on "1000 Lbs. Friends" really irritate me. I mean, ... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-15-08 |

I haven’t had the surgery but my sister in law did.
I’m sure I don’t know all the details but she decided 2 weeks before her actual surgery date that she would go down to Mexico and receive the surgery. She pulled an Amy about a week after her surgery, and had a “slip up” that put her in the hospital.
It sounds like ... | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-15-08 |
Things were highly edited. I'm sure the real life process was alot longer than two days and sped up for tv.

There are things to remember when watching any weight loss surgery content regardless of if it’s reality TV. The first is that every program is different and so what one person is saying may not apply to you.

Amy isn’t the smartest as we all know. What people need to know about having this surgery is that it’s only a tool. With the sleeve especially, it’s not as invasive as the bypass. You’re able to eat more food after a month or two and you can “graze “ where you fit little bits in over time. It’s what you make of it.

When I was in the hospital the day I had mine- that night a woman was admitted because she ate a meatball sub TWO days after her surgery. It almost killed her.

The diet varies depending on where you do the surgery. I had to eat before I was allowed to leave the hospital, they gave me two meatballs and some mashed potatoes. Besides the other people having the same procedure that day, I haven’t meet anyone else who’s had that experience.

I looked into it and you had to go through multiple classes, months of psych appointments and RD appointments, and exercise appointments, PT if needed and that was before surgery. Also had to join an online support group before and after. This was at the University. | r/1000lbsisters | comment | r/1000lbsisters | 2024-16-08 |
I had it a few years ago. I only had to prep for 2 days before I had surgery. It really depends on your surgeon as to what the pre and post-op will look like.
