Misty Slaton’s Body Makeover Journey
Like her famous siblings, Misty Slaton of 1000-lb Sisters has lost weight over the years. She’s taken many photos since her weight loss milestone.
SUMMARY
- Misty Slaton Wentworth reached a weight loss milestone, no longer needing diabetes medication.
- Misty is considering bariatric surgery to continue her weight loss journey with Amanda.
- The Slaton family showcases weight loss transformations through diet, exercise, and surgery.
After losing a substantial amount of weight, 1000-lb Sisters star Misty Slaton Wentworth has reached an incredible weight loss milestone. The series, which premiered in 2020, centers around the weight-loss journeys of sisters Tammy Slaton and Amy Slaton, but other members of the Slaton family have joined in on the weight-loss action, including their step-sister, Misty. She grew up with Tammy, Amy, and their other siblings in Shawneetown, Illinois, and was raised by a single mother.
Like her two famous sisters, Misty developed an unhealthy relationship with food at an early age. Their mother worked a lot, so the kids had to feed themselves. They ate a lot of junk food because it was cheaper and easier to prepare. As Misty grew up, she put on more and more weight, especially after she had four children. During 1000-lb Sisters season 5, she expressed serious interest in having bariatric surgery to lose even more weight.
Misty’s Weight Loss Success
No More Diabetes Meds
As Amy and Tammy’s older sister, Misty has been guiding her sisters over the years. She has been by their side as they embarked on their weight-loss journeys on 1000-lb Sisters while also pursuing her own weight-loss goals. Before losing weight, Misty was taking multiple diabetes medications to keep her blood sugar in a healthy range. Though it’s unclear if Misty had bariatric surgery, she lost enough weight to stop needing the medication. Being healthy enough to regulate her blood sugar levels without medicine is a huge milestone that Misty should be proud of.
Photos Of Misty Before Weight Loss
Family Album
Misty‘s Facebook account is a treasure trove of family photos taken before and during her weight-loss journey. In 2008, Misty posted a family photo with her husband and four sons. In the photo, she’s wearing a black shirt, and her size has changed significantly compared to her more recent appearances on 1000-lb Sisters. In 2017, Misty posted a more recent photo where she’s standing alongside her husband. Here, she’s wearing a tank top that highlights her silhouette.
Misty isn’t the only member of the Slaton family posting family photos. In March 2022, Misty’s sister, Amy, posted a family photo to Instagram. In the photo, Misty, Amy, and other family members are gathered around a large table during a public event. Seated in the middle, Misty is wearing gray and looking slimmer than she looked in earlier family photos. The image caused quite a stir in the comment section because one of the individuals in the photograph is wearing a Trump hat.
Misty Wants Weight Loss Surgery
She’s Not Done Yet
1000-lb Sisters season 5 features a scene where Misty and Amanda Halterman speak to Tammy, Amy, and their brother, Chris Combs, about potentially undergoing weight-loss surgery. “Me and Misty’s been going to see Dr. Smith,” Amanda tells her siblings. Dr. Smith was Tammy’s doctor and is known for helping patients lose weight, including performing bariatric surgery. During the discussion, the Slatons talk about Misty and Amanda’s biggest fears about the weight-loss procedure, which can include complications and even death. Since Tammy, Amy, and Chris have all undergone the surgery, they understand the procedure can be dangerous.
Hearing Amanda and Misty get worked up about the surgery and them not making it out, it’s scary.
It’s unclear if this will be Misty’s first bariatric surgery. It’s not uncommon for some people to get the surgery twice. Still, revision weight-loss surgery has a higher risk of complications for the patient than the first round of bariatric surgery. During the gripping 1000-lb Sisters scene, Amy feared for Misty and Amanda’s lives. “Hearing Amanda and Misty get worked up about the surgery and them not making it out, it’s scary,” Amy said, adding, “One slip and, oop, Amanda’s gone, or, oop, Misty’s gone. I need my sisters […] it’s family.”
Slatons Weight Loss Journeys
A Family Affair
Watching her step-sisters, Amy and Tammy, has been a crucial part of Amanda’s journey to lose weight. Her sister, Amy, has lost 125 pounds since the show premiered, while her other sister, Tammy, has lost over 400 pounds. Not to be left out of all the weight-loss fun, their step-brother, Chris, lost over 150 pounds through a combination of diet, exercise, and weight-loss surgery. Fans of the show have enjoyed watching the Slaton’s lose all their weight over the years and have felt inspired by their incredible, impressive journeys.
In an interview with People, Tammy and Amy said that the origins of their weight gain date back to their childhoods. They attribute it to genetics, emotional eating, and socioeconomic factors to their eating habits and weight gain. Luckily, both Tammy, Amy, and the other Slaton siblings broke the cycle.
All the Slatons have relied on diet, exercise, and bariatric surgery to achieve their incredible weight-loss transformations.
It’s unknown exactly how much weight Misty lost or how she went about losing it. Unlike her famous sisters, she has pursued her weight-loss goals in relative privacy. Regardless of how much weight Misty lost or how she lost it, it’s clear that she is determined and committed to shedding even more weight.
