This week, the siblings are going out to brunch to celebrate Misty and Amanda because they finally got approved for weight loss surgery. They joke about how there’s going to be no fat family member left.
Amanda’s worried about her recovery because apparently, every time Amanda has had surgery, recovery has been really tough. It’s been long and complicated. Amy gets emotional thinking about the possibility of losing Amanda or of something going wrong.
Amanda offers to reschedule her surgery to be there for Amy while she gets her divorce. And again, I just love how supportive they are. They truly love each other.
Recap
Before diving into 1000-Lb Season 5 Episode 5, let’s quickly recap and review the previous episode. Now at their last Supper, Misty orders this humongous steak the size of a toddler.
Hey, it’s our last meal before surgery, so she’s going big. Honestly, that’s what I do every single time I say I’m going on a diet. Honestly, it’s so much better to have everything in moderation, everything that you want.
After their meal, Amy wheels Tammy out of the restaurant, and she bumps into all sorts of things. She tries to cross the street, and Tammy’s like, no, no, no, there’s tons of cracks there. But Amy can’t see that well, so she keeps on going, and that wheelchair gets stuck in the cracks.
It almost knocks Tammy off, and she’s super embarrassed because they’re in the middle of the road. It’s a very busy street with tons of cars, and everybody’s looking at them. She gets up from the wheelchair and walks her ass across the street. She grabbed her thing, snatched it away, and Amy was like, I’m sorry. And Tammy’s like marching across the street like she’s so pissed.
No matter how much they argue and fight, it’s over in five seconds because they roast the hell out of each other, and then they just laugh.
It’s surgery day for Misty and Amanda. Misty is going first, and I didn’t know this about her, but her diabetes is, like, really bad. It’s so bad, like she’s on so much insulin for her age that the doctor thought she’s not in some diabetic coma.
Now, back to Amy, she’s struggling so much, and she’s crying all the time. Like, every second, she has a meltdown. She feels so guilty this time for bringing her kids to Tammy’s house and burdening her right after she came home.
Tammy tells Amy to start taking better care of herself because she hasn’t been eating or sleeping. Tammy wants to take Amy and the boys out for lunch, so they go to a sushi restaurant. And I found it hilarious that Tammy does not like sushi, and she went to a sushi restaurant.
Hell, she doesn’t even like fish cooked or raw, so I don’t know what she’s doing at the sushi restaurant. A lot more happened in previous episodes, but now let’s discuss when Episode 5 of 1000-Lb Season 5 will be released and what will happen in it.
