02x07 - Jerry Bites Back

[bunniefuu]

AMY (VOICEOVER): Previously

on "1,000-Lb Sisters."

So what inspired this video?

Shut stop now.

Damn. [chuckles]

[imitating tammy] Her face.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

[laughter]

You shut up too.

[music playing]

[tractor banging]

Right now, I'm

seven months pregnant.

Sometimes I still don't

believe that I'm pregnant.

I don't think I'll

feel like it's real

until I have him in my arms.

I know.

I want to enjoy my

time being pregnant,

so me and Michael are going

to do a maternity photo sh**t.

This is a dream to

have a baby, and I

want to have pictures of

me being pregnant while I

was with my child.

AMY: Right now, I'm

just glad that we're

doing a photo sh**t because

I ain't got to worry

about Tammy or any other thing.

I can just get it out

of my head for a while.

[music playing]

We're here.

[chuckles].

[chuckles]

AMY YATES: Hi.

How are you?

You look beautiful.

WOMAN: You look awesome.

[laughs]

If you just, kind of,

stand and hold your belly.

Look down at your belly for me.

WOMAN: Looking good, mama.

WOMAN: I love what the wind

is doing with your dress.

AMY YATES: Beautiful.

[shutter clicks]

[laughs]

AMY YATES: Oh.

[chuckles]

[flatulating]

AMY: I farted though.

[laughs] Blame it on the baby.

[laughs]

AMY YATES: This is my first

maternity sh**t with a costume.

Amy and Michael are

such a cute couple,

and Amy just loves

to joke and carry on.

And Michael is so sweet.

He's been holding her hand and

making sure she don't fall.

Can you come forward

a little bit, dad?

Yeah.

There you go.

Can you give mom a kiss?

[shutter clicks]

Awesome, you two.

This day was the most fun

since I've been pregnant.

Yeah.

And dad, can you give her a kiss

on the side of the neck there?

Aw.

WOMAN: Good, mom.

You just fell right in.

AMY YATES: [chuckles]

WOMAN: You go girl.

[laughs]

AMY YATES: I think that's it.

Y'all did an awesome job.

AMY: Thank you so much.

Yeah.

Yeah.

[music playing]

Oh, OK.

JERRY: Ooh.

[tammy winces]

JERRY: Mm-hmm.

JERRY: Really?

TAMMY: [laughs]

JERRY: I know Amy.

She worries about Tammy's diet

because that's her sister.

I do feel bad when I eat

certain things in front of Tammy

because I know she ain't

supposed to have it.

I still do it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I enjoy myself here too.

[chuckles]

JERRY: I'll be back.

A'ight.

I'll be back.

[somber music]

[upbeat music]

[mower roaring]

Yeah.

TAMMY (VOICEOVER): So

while I'm at the dentist,

Jerry's just going to

hang out at my house.

TAMMY: Right.

Oh, no.

Oh, my god.

[laughs]

TAMMY: Yeah.

I don't think I can.

What's the deal with Tammy?

She was having a heck of

a time getting in the van.

CHRIS: Jerry's here munching

on a bag of cheese puffs.

I want to talk to him, man to

man, to see what's going on.

[music playing]

RECEPTIONIST: Hi.

Welcome. TAMMY: Hello.

CHRIS: Hello.

Can I get a name?

TAMMY: Tammy Slaton.

All right.

We've got you there.

If you want to take

a seat, someone

will be out to get you soon.

Ms. Tammy, you ready?

TAMMY: Yeah.

How are you guys doing today?

TAMMY: Good.

And you?

Good.

CHRIS: Tammy has to get

up and be more physical.

So when I see an opportunity

for something like that,

I try to motivate her and

push her to her limits,

that way she gets in as

much exercise as possible.

[heavy breathing]

Hello, Tammy.

How are you?

I'm Dr. Adam.

Nice to meet you.

Tell me, what are you

wanting help with?

OK.

And before you

There's no reason

to feel embarrassed about that.

Let me ask you this.

Are you having pain anywhere?

OK.

How often do you brush?

DR. ADAM: OK.

DR. ADAM: Oh, yeah.

And to be honest, we should

be doing it twice every day.

So we're going to work on that.

No pressure.

No judgment or anything.

We're just going to

say, you know what?

We're trying to get things

on a better track, OK?

So let's get into it, and

let's just take a look.

Why don't we get you

situated back here.

Lean back here, and I can

help you however we need.

Good.

If I need to help is that?

Here.

Hold on.

We might be blocked in here.

Let me check. Nice and tight.

There we go.

So we won't rotate on you.

There you go.

Are you comfortable there?

TAMMY: Yeah. DR. ADAM: OK.

I'm going to put adjust your

headrest so that your head's

in a better position there.

OK.

How is that right there?

TAMMY: Good.

DR. ADAM: Is that OK?

Do you feel stable

and comfortable?

Great.

In my 11 years as

a dentist, I can't

say that I've had a lot

of bariatric patients

that are dealing with the kinds

of things Tammy's dealing with.

We have checked out the

specifications of the chairs

to make sure that everything

is safe and stable for her,

but also that we can accommodate

the things that we need to do

without compromising things.

All right, Tammy.

So what we're going

start with, I'mma have

you just smile for me.

OK.

We definitely are

due for a cleaning,

so you basically

have two front teeth

missing that we're looking

at replacing, I would assume.

DR. ADAM: The good

news is this, Tammy.

For being 10 years and

brushing, you know,

twice a week, you

have a lot of buildup,

but your teeth are

in decent shape.

So we're starting off with a

good foundation, hopefully.

I would like to start off

with a temporary option.

It'd, kind of, be

like a retainer,

but would give you that

tooth that matches the color

and shape of everything

and fits in that space

to have in the meantime while

we make the other one, OK?

The next step is going to

be taking some impressions

and to get the

shape of your teeth

so we can have

those things made.

Are you ready for that?

- Mm-hmm.

DR. ADAM: Great.

OK.

Put your head just like that.

OK.

Let's take this out.

There you go.

DR. ADAM: So when it comes

to everything we did today,

do you have any questions?

DR. ADAM: Sure.

No.

You know, what you would notice

is when we lose weight, a lot

of times, if we lose weight

around the head and neck area

and in the jaw area, you might

find that you have a little bit

easier access to get back to

the back portion your teeth

and clean your teeth

and things like that.

But overall, you do

everything the same.

You know, as you

lose the weight,

we want you to just continue

to brush your teeth two times

a day.

[chuckles]

DR. ADAM: And try to get

in to see me, you know,

twice a year, OK?

Well, come on.

Let's dance out of here.

TAMMY: [chuckles] This is Jerry

and my official first date.

Oh, [bleep].

I'm feeling nervous about

telling Jerry about my secret.

I need to get in there

and get it over with.

Rip the band-aid off.

So, Jerry, I got some stuff

that we need to talk about.

[upbeat music]

Well, you know I got to go back.

CHRIS: The other day, I

gave Tammy a talking to.

I want to make damn sure

Jerry is good for Tammy.

So I want to talk to him, man

to man, to see what's going on.

[tammy burps]

TAMMY: Excuse me.

What are you doing?

What's going on?

Jerry, this my brother Chris.

Chris, Jerry.

JERRY: What's up, Chris?

Nice meeting you.

A'ight.

This is for you because

it's about to whip your a*s.

TAMMY: Oh, god.

CHRIS: Low-impact exercise.

That's what you

got to have, right?

I'm coming over here.

Perfect spot on the couch.

Jerry's on the couch munching

on a bag of cheese puffs.

What brought you to the

cornfields of Kentucky?

[chuckles]

You might want a refund.

TAMMY: No.

[laughter]

JERRY: Well, um, I'm about

to head out to the store.

I'll see y'all later.

JERRY: OK.

TAMMY: Lord Jesus, help us.

Oh, Jesus.

What's up?

Mm-hmm.

JERRY: OK.

Well, I want the best for Tammy.

- OK.

- A'ight.

JERRY: A'ight.

I think it's going

to be, kind of,

hard for me because

I love junk food.

So I gotta see how

it's gonna play out.

[chuckles]

[knocking]

I'm back.

I didn't pull a g*n or nothing.

We're cool.

TAMMY: OK.

CHRIS: Nothing he

eats is healthy.

CHRIS: If Jerry

sticks around, he's

going to have to change

his ways because Tammy

has a food addiction.

Today, I thought it

would be good to bring

over this pedal bike I got.

Take the bike for a spin, Tammy.

We got the doctor's

appointment coming up,

so we want to put a

good, strong effort

in, and show up with some

good positive results.

It's not too horrible

on you is it?

TAMMY: I understand

why Chris is worried.

I know I messed up, and

I'm trying to lose weight,

but I can't quit it cold turkey.

I mean, some people

can, but I'm human.

Three minutes a day on top

and bottom, arms and legs.

[music playing]

TAMMY: Don't forget your masks.

AMY: This visit with Jerry

has been really stressful.

And since he's going

back home soon,

Tammy wanted to go

on a date with him.

TAMMY: [bleep].

MICHAEL: Oh, OK.

MICHAEL: A little bump there.

TAMMY: Don't you love

it how we match almost?

We're not even close.

[laughs]

We're not even close.

WAITRESS: Can I get y'all

started off with anything?

AMY: I want fiesta pineapple.

WAITRESS: OK.

WAITRESS: OK.

AMY: He wants a taco

bowl with steak in it.

WAITRESS: Just steak?

Yeah, just steak.

WAITRESS: Cheese?

Steak and cheese, yeah.

OK.

TAMMY: Thank you.

WAITRESS: You're welcome.

WAITRESS: Yes, ma'am.

You sure you don't

want the tortillas?

And what's that?

[laughs]

TAMMY: No.

No.

You can tell me anything.

AMY: Tammy wants to tell Jerry

this big secret because she

wants him to know the real her.

Tammy needs to tell him because

they're in a relationship,

and he needs to know.

[suspense music]

And what's that?

You can tell me anything.

What is it?

JERRY: So what you're

saying is that you

would date a transgender guy?

Yeah.

Or girl.

A'ight.

I mean, it is what it is, Tammy.

I still love you though.

I'm still trying to

figure out what it means,

but I'm OK with it.

I love Tammy the way she is.

[clears throat]

Shut up.

[laughs]

TAMMY: I'm happy that

he took it pretty well.

[laughs]

What?

[laughs]

[laughter]

Really?

[laughter]

JERRY: Oh.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

b*tch.

[chuckles]

[music playing]

JERRY: With you.

[chuckles]

[laughs]

JERRY: Tammy told

me that Michael

and Amy was moving soon,

and Tammy going to be alone.

That's going to be

a lot of pressure

on me staying or wanting

to stay to help Tammy.

OK.

[bleep].

[laughs]

No.

I'm not ready to take

on that responsibility.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So you gonna stick

to this weight loss?

Mm-hmm.

You sure?

[laughs].

Yes.

JERRY: For real, Tammy.

Man, I'm serious.

- Yes, Jerry.

JERRY: It's serious.

JERRY: I want Tammy to lose

about, like, 200 pounds.

Get this surgery so she

can live a normal life.

[laughs] I got to go though.

JERRY: A'ight.

JERRY: A'ight.

I will.

[somber music]

[engine starts]

[somber music]

CHRIS: We're pretty close

to the end of the rope

because everybody's helped

as much as they can.

Maybe we can have an

intervention first.

I think Tammy worries that

she'll never see Jerry again.

I'm hoping she don't give up.

Part of me died

that day he left.

[somber music]

Hey, y'all.

Um, Jerry has been gone

for two, three days.

Three days.

I miss him.

I can't sleep very good

because he's not there.

I miss him holding me at night.

I don't feel like the

same person I was.

A part of me died

that day he left.

And everybody's telling

me, you're going to be OK.

He'll be back. He'll be back.

He'll be back.

Yeah.

But until then, I'm lost.

I don't know what to do.

I got used to him being here.

Having Jerry here in

Kentucky helped cheer

me up and get me motivated.

Anyways.

[upbeat music]

CHRIS: Would be a

windy day, wouldn't it?

Today, we're having

Amy's baby shower,

and I volunteered

to come help out.

Tammy's idea was to set

this up, but she needed help

actually physically doing it.

Hey, what are y'all doing?

Y'all going to stay

a while, or are you

just going to stay in the van?

TAMMY: That's a little a*s ramp.

CHRIS: We'll make it work.

You ready, Tammy?

Yeah.

[chris grunting]

CHRIS: Ooh, OK.

All right.

You ready to go now?

TAMMY: Yeah?

CHRIS: I tried.

CHRIS: Come on.

[tammy grunting]

CHRIS: Now the

There you go.

TAMMY: Jerry's not here.

He left, and he had to

go back to his house.

I miss him, but I'm looking

forward to the baby shower.

I never threw a baby shower

before, so this might be fun.

Hi.

Can you put gifts on

that table, please?

That's our sister, Misty.

And then that's Britney,

Chris' wife, our sister-in-law.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

TAMMY: Little.

CHRIS: Oh, here we go.

They're showing up.

AMY: But I'm really

worried about Tammy.

I know she ain't sticking to

her diet since Jerry left.

I'm hoping now that

the family's here,

we have a chance to

talk about her weight.

This is so beautiful.

Thank you guys.

TAMMY: You're welcome.

CHRIS: We're all

still on a diet,

so I did get some

healthier options.

I got some veggie

trays, some chicken

wings, chicken salad sandwich.

MISTY: Chicken salad's healthy?

Well, it's healthier than ribs.

[laughs]

Compared to my barbecues

and us pigging out

till we can't walk to

the cars, you know,

this is a whole lot better.

A lot healthier.

It is compared to my ribs, you

know, 3,000 calories a plate.

[laughs]

TAMMY: Thank you.

You're trying to eat healthy,

so I did give you a chicken

wing and a 1/4 of a sandwich.

Wipe your face.

Dang.

TAMMY: No.

Oh, stop it!

[laughter]

Stop it.

I think it's peanut butter.

ALL: No.

Ugh!

CHRIS: She is the ugh!

[laughs]

MISTY: You guys want to

play a game of bocce?

CHRIS: Where we gonna

play, like out here

on the side around the green?

MISTY: Yeah.

AMY: Come on, Little.

CHRIS: You know, Misty's kids

love the game of bocce ball,

so she did bring it.

As kids growing up, we played

volleyball, and football,

and everything in the yard.

[laughs]

CHRIS: So what do you do,

just, like, throw the ball out

there in the middle somewhere?

MISTY: Yeah.

Kind of like

marbles then, right?

MISTY: Yeah.

But do you really

want to get down

on the ground to play marbles?

CHRIS: All right, Amy.

[laughter] Thank you.

Thank you.

You're not supposed to help him.

I'm sorry.

[laughter]

So what's the deal with Tammy?

She was having a heck of a time

this morning getting in the van

and all of that.

Yeah, it would.

The doctor told us

when we was in Atlanta

if she'd become

immobile, that she pretty

much lost the battle then.

What she's doing

is just not working.

So how do we hinder

her calorie intake?

MISTY: Oh, my Lord.

32 in two days?

Come on now.

Maybe we can have an

intervention first.

AMY: With Tammy, she does

tend to eat her feelings.

I think Tammy worries that

she'll never see Jerry again,

so I'm scared that she'll

gain a lot more weight.

I'm hoping she don't give up.

She's running out of options.

If we have an

intervention, she's

going to go off like a volcano.

Yeah.

And I didn't say it

was going to be easy.

Maybe it's better for

her to go off as a volcano

because we love her, and

we're trying to help her.

TAMMY (VOICEOVER):

Next time on

AMY (VOICEOVER):

"1,000-Lb Sisters."

Am I going to have an OK birth?

I don't think

it'll be completely

smooth as far as labor goes.

I don't want to hear that

giving birth to my baby,

I'm going to have some issues.

TRAINER: Oh, you're doing great.

TAMMY: Amy having

this baby gives

me a reason to reset my life.

TRAINER: Apparently,

you want to work, right?

You want to work.

Hey, no resting for me.

PRODUCER: How do you

feel seeing her try hard?

It's kind of like shocking, ha.

[laughter]

My thigh.

[sobbing]

[sobbing]

PRODUCER: She's in pain.

MAN: We had to go.

[intense music]
