1000lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton unrecognizable in full-body photo after losing 500 lbs and skin removal op
The 38-year-old 1000-Lb. Sisters star — who underwent bariatric surgery in late 2022 followed by skin removal procedures — gave fans a closer look at her progress in a new TikTok photo carousel posted Tuesday.
The series began with sweet close-up shots before revealing the full impact of her 500-pound weight loss: a head-to-toe view of Tammy in a form-fitting black shapewear one-piece that showed off her dramatically slimmed-down figure.
Captioned 'I knew the assignment,' the post seemed to signal that Tammy is fully embracing her transformation — and delivering on it.
Looking like a fraction of her former self, she posed with her hands behind her back and a subtle smile, leaving fans stunned by her progress.
'Absolutely loving this era of Tammy,' one fan gushed in the comments, while another added, 'Brought a tear to my eye. It's been honestly so inspiring and amazing to watch your journey.'
Tammy has been incredibly candid about her journey — much of which has been documented on 1000-Lb. Sisters — and back in April, she proudly revealed she was down '500 pounds.'
'When I was at my heaviest, I was 700-plus pounds,' she shared on the TLC series. 'Right now, I'm weighing in at 238.'
Tammy even compared her progress to that of her sister, 37-year-old Amy Slaton, who's lost 176 pounds.
'Everyone is telling me I look smaller than Amy,' she said. 'That's kind of hard to believe. I can't believe I did that.'
After hitting her milestone, Tammy revealed in June that she finally underwent skin removal surgery earlier this year.
'I was just overwhelmed with excitement,' she told People, recalling the moment she was approved.
'I worked really hard for this, and now it's here. I'm pretty sure it was noticeable on my face how immediately shocked and then overwhelmed with joy I was.'
Tammy spent 14 months at Windsor Lane Rehabilitation Center in Gibsonburg, Ohio, where she lost more than 400 pounds through treatment and bariatric surgery.
It was also where she met her late husband, Caleb Willingham.
Nicknamed 'Double K,' Caleb appeared alongside Tammy on the show as they fought to overcome their chronic obesity.
The two tied the knot in a small, intimate ceremony with around 30 guests, officiated by their home care nurse.
Tragically, just months after their wedding, Caleb died at age 40. His cause of death was never made public.
Tammy spoke about the heartbreaking moment she found out, revealing that a friend of Caleb's first messaged her saying things weren't looking good — and then delivered the devastating news just 20 minutes later.
'I was sitting in the fetal position,' she recalled to People.
'I got a text message from his friend up there and the text said, "Caleb's not doing good. They're in there working on him.' Twenty minutes later, he texted me back and said he was gone.'
In a previous season of 1000-Lb. Sisters, Tammy also admitted their relationship had changed in his final months, saying they 'felt like roommates' before his passing.

Flight attendant's bizarre 'air aerobics' class mid-flight leaves passengers stunned
Flights are often getting delayed, but one airline employee has come up with a unique way to make sure passengers aren't held up too much. A traveler on a recent EasyJet flight, named Joe, took to TikTok to share a hilarious video of a cabin manager taking passengers through a series of movements in their seat, dubbing it 'air-aerobics.' The clip began with Joe in his plane seat listening to the voice of the crew member speaking through the inflight PA system, with a strange request for the passengers. On the clip, Joe wrote: 'What is going on?' as he looked amused and listened to the crew member. 'Just before we come into land … I've been flying for 30 years now … a couple of weeks ago, I just tried something to help the crew out, to help our operations to turnaround the plane quicker,' he said. 'I came up with an idea,' the experienced crew member continued. 'If you want to join in with this, please feel free … it's a bit of a laugh and a bit of a giggle. It's called air aerobics.' The crew member then pointed out the passengers had been cooped up in their seats for three to four hours due to a delay, before guiding them through some stretches. 'So what I'd like everybody to do is stretch around,' he urged. 'Lets see those arms.' He told everyone to lean to the right, then to the left, and then the middle. 'Touch your head,' he instructed. 'Touch your nose, touch your shoulders, touch your knees, no touch your toes.' Then, the stretch got interesting, with the crew member telling passengers to reach into the seat pocket in front of them and locate the safety card. 'Everybody pull that out and wave it in the air like you just don't care,' he directed, before delivering the final instructions of his air-aerobics. 'Put the card back in the seat pocket, with the "safety on board" sign facing you and placing the card in front of the other literature in the seat pocket,' he requested. 'Believe it or not, that's knocked seven minutes on my turnaround time,' the cabin manager told the plane full of passengers. 'Thank you very much for helping us.' The Daily Mail has contacted EasyJet for comment. Users chimed in with their thoughts in the comment section, many whom work in the airline industry. 'That's hysterical! Putting the safety cards at the front facing the right way does actually knock time off the turnaround,' agreed one user. Another joked: 'I thought he was going to say, "So you see the instructions for a crash landing, that's the brace position you all now need to take as the landing gear is stuck."' Someone else pointed out making sure to move on a flight can also help prevent deep vein thrombosis, which is a a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg or pelvis. 'In 2001 there was a lot of awareness of DVTS. I was on a flight and part way through Mr Motivator came on and made us exercise! No making us read though!' they quipped.

Paramount Global says Skydance merger should close in two weeks
July 25 (Reuters) - Paramount Global (PARA.O), opens new tab said on Friday it expects to complete its merger with Skydance Media by August 7, following government approval for the $8.4 billion deal. Skydance CEO David Ellison is prepared to assume the helm at Paramount, home to the venerable Paramount Pictures, the CBS broadcast network, and a collection of cable television channels. The new chief executive already is confronted with questions from investors about the future of the Paramount+ streaming service, plans for Paramount's declining television assets, and forecasts for spending on content -- including professional sports. "Now that the long, drawn-out sale process is finally nearing its end, Skydance leadership is poised to take control," wrote MoffettNathanson media analyst Robert Fishman. "With that, the real work begins -- rebuilding Paramount, addressing the critical strategic questions ahead, and charting a path toward a more sustainable and competitive future." Announced more than a year ago, the merger will unite Paramount's prized film and TV library including classics such as "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's," with films it produced with Skydance, including "Top Gun: Maverick" and "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning." Ellison was not available for comment. He has previously said he plans to expand Paramount's technological capabilities, rebuild the Paramount+ platform and grow the streaming business, and reorganize the business to prioritize cash flow. A year ago, he said the team had identified $2 billion in cost savings. The Federal Communications Commission cleared the deal on Thursday, just weeks after Paramount settled a lawsuit filed by U.S. President Donald Trump over CBS' editing of a "60 Minutes" interview with his Democratic opponent, former Vice President Kamala Harris. The $16-million settlement drew criticism that Paramount had effectively bought regulatory approval, with the Democratic dissenter in the FCC's 2-1 vote calling it a "cowardly capitulation" to the Trump administration. The agency has repeatedly said its review was independent of the lawsuit.

Furious Disneyland guest 'turned away' from iconic Star Wars bar… and the reason impacts thousands of visitors
An enraged Disneyland guest has claimed he wasn't served alcohol at an iconic Star Wars bar at the theme park despite showing his driver's license… but there's a very simple explanation as to why. The 26-year-old, who hails from Canada, had been attempting to buy a drink at the Star Wars-themed bar Oga's Cantina at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, when they said they were 'turned away' because their ID was no sufficient. Taking to the Disney Reddit thread, the guest complained they had showed the bartender their drivers' license and a copy of their passport, but was told it 'wasn't enough.' 'I guess the silver lining is that I don't have to pay for the overpriced drinks but it's just little frustrating,' they continued. 'They accepted my drivers' license when I entered the park ... but the bar must be as important as an airport with the level of scrutiny they give you.' According to the Disney website, Oga's specializes in 'fantastical drinks sourced with ingredients from across the galaxy that will delight even the youngest crew members.' The website also notes that to order selections with alcohol, guests will need to show photo identification. It turns out, the reason he was denied alcohol could impact thousands of others planning to visit the theme park from around the globe. The Canadian visitor had been attempting to buy a drink at the Star Wars-themed bar Oga's Cantina (seen) at the Disneyland Resort in California Because he's a non-US resident, original passports are the only form of identification deemed acceptable by California law. Non-US driver's licenses, ID cards, temporary ID cards, and copies of ID cards are not acceptable. However, for residents of the US, an identification card issued by a governmental agency is allowed, as is a valid original passport and valid active US Armed Forces ID. Temporary driver's licenses, temporary ID cards, and copies of passports, driver's licenses or ID cards are not accepted. The tough measures are down to California law, which states that foreigners are required to show a valid passport in order to buy alcohol. Many Reddit users pointed out the guest's mistake and noted that the requirements are laid bare on Disney's website. One asked: 'Why would they accept a scan? So easily altered.' Echoing a similar sentiment, another wrote: 'I have no idea why anyone would accept a 'scan' of a passport as proof of anything except that you are a bad forger.' 'I totally get why that was frustrating, but California has pretty strict laws when it comes to serving alcohol,' said a third. 'Bars are required to see a physical government-issued ID with your name, photo, birthdate, and physical description… 'This isn't just a Disney policy. It's state law, and the staff have to follow it, or they risk serious penalties.' Earlier this week, Daily Mail laid bare the sneaky way Disney World is making things more expensive for guests. For years, the site provided a long list of epic perks for those staying at a hotel at the beloved theme park - like free gifts and complimentary transportation. But recently, many of those bonuses have slowly started to disappear... and now, some avid Disney fans feel that the silent removal of the benefits, along with rising prices, is simply ruining the magic.
