1000-Lb. Sisters’ Tammy Slaton Apologizes for Drinking Soda amid Weight Loss Journey: ‘I’m Still Hitting Goals’

Tammy Slaton isn’t ready to ditch soda entirely — even as she remains committed to her weight-loss journey.

On Tuesday, August 6, the 1000-Lb. Sisters star, 39, responded to a fan on TikTok who questioned her soda consumption — or “sodies,” as she affectionately calls them — in a recent video. The commenter pointed out that soft drinks are “full of sugar” and cast doubt on Tammy’s dietary choices.

“Everybody is different,” Tammy replied. “I’m not supposed to drink the sodies as much and that was Sprite. Well, sorry! So…you’re right. You’re right,” she said. “In moderation you can drink or eat whatever you want.”

She added, “I drink a lot of water and I drink a lot of sodies but I’m still 3, 4 years post-op. So everything I’m doing is not fine, but it’s okay because I’m still continuing on my diet. I’m still continuing to lose weight and I’m still hitting goals.”

In the comments, many fans stood by her.

“Let Tammy have a sodie,” one user wrote. “Look at her she looks amazing and deserves to celebrate her success. ❤️”

“You obviously have it under control. People just gotta be negative,” another added.

Another supporter chimed in, “Tammy can have a soda, this girl has worked HARD!”

Tammy’s love for soda has been well-known since 1000-Lb. Sisters debuted in 2020. During an early episode, she and her sister Amy met with Taylor, a dietitian, to confront their eating habits.

When Taylor asked if they drank water, both sisters answered no. “What are you drinking during the day?” Taylor asked. Amy replied, “Sodies….sodie pops.”

“How much do you think you drink a day?” the dietitian followed up. Tammy responded, “Oh s—. Eight to 12 [cans] a day.”

During that same episode, Amy clarified that they typically drank diet soda. “Our mom told us when we were younger, if we ate a sugar, you drink a Diet Coke afterwards and it’ll cancel out the sugar,” she said.

Tammy has made major strides in her health since those early days. She lost enough weight to qualify for bariatric surgery in 2022, ultimately shedding 500 pounds and undergoing skin removal surgery.

In May 2023, she shared photos on Instagram sipping a bottle of Diet Coke, joking in the caption: “LOL I am a diet sodie ambassador.”
