1000-Lb Sisters’ Tammy Slaton wears jewelry that means the world to her. Her treble clef necklace and ring tell such a beautiful but sad story.

1000-Lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton loves jewelry, and some of the designs that she owns have sentimental value – in fact, she gets “separation anxiety” when she forgets to put them on, as per Tammy‘s TikTok. Before season 5, Tammy seemed like she was angry at the world. She had a huge chip on her shoulder. Now, Tammy’s still calling out haters, but there’s a lot of softness too. As her body changes, so does her mind. Tammy’s becoming a more joyful person. She’s seeing how great life can be, even when there’s heartbreak in the recent past.

Tammy’s a survivor. Super-morbid obesity put her life at risk. Once kept alive by a ventilator, Tammy eventually qualified for bariatric surgery. After that operation, she rose like a phoenix from the flames. Instead of the angry, irritable and selfish Tammy, there was a brand-new woman who loved herself and other people. During the most recent season, the change in Tammy’s mindset was actually shocking. Released from a sort of psychological prison, she began to smile more and help others. What weight loss has done for Tammy is nothing short of a miracle.

Tammy Slaton Always Has Caleb Willingham With Her

Tammy’s Necklace & Ring Are Filled With Caleb’s Ashes

When Tammy left Caleb at rehab, she dreamed of reuniting with him one day in the “real world.” Sadly, that dream wasn’t destined to come true. Caleb couldn’t get his emotional eating under control. The sweet and romantic man was enslaved by his addiction. He succumbed to it, passing away due to health issues linked with obesity. That was heartbreaking.

When Tammy forgets to wear these pieces, which probably doesn’t happen too often, she gets extremely upset. Not having the jewelry on triggers her, probably reminding her of the pain that she felt when she learned of Caleb’s death. He’d been her husband. Of course, she still feels that pain today, but a little time has passed and Tammy is trying to live.

When she has her ring and necklace, she feels closer to Caleb. He treated her like royalty – hopefully, Tammy, who’s dating a woman named Andrea now, is treated as well by her girlfriend. Of course, Tammy has to reciprocate. With Caleb, she seemed to try. However, their relationship actually ended before he passed away.

Tammy Slaton & Caleb Willingham Broke Up Before His Passing

Tammy Slaton Had To Let Caleb Willingham Go

Unfortunately, Caleb didn’t really support Tammy’s weight-loss goals. In Tammy’s case, that’s really serious, as she might have passed away if she hadn’t lost weight. Once, Caleb arranged a date at the hospital. He was adorable, getting her cute little presents that he knew she would love and so on. A woman couldn’t really ask for more sincerity and romance. However, there was a problem. He began to tempt her by offering her forbidden foods, such as her favorite fried mushrooms.

Caleb couldn’t stop eating the wrong things and if Tammy had stayed with him, she might have backslid, gaining weight which put her health at risk. In the past, she almost died because of her weight. Tammy’s worn a trach tube and that’s pretty serious. Tammy’s used oxygen to breathe easier. and has had health issues galore. A man who encourages her to eat greasy foods is not helping her. What’s bittersweet is that they bonded over their shared weaknesses. They met and fell in love at diet rehab. However, those same weaknesses eventually tore them apart.

While they’re separated in this world, they may be reunited in the next. Avid TikToker Tammy keeps him close to her heart, wearing the treble clef all the time. She puts it outside of her shirt, proudly showing her loyalty to the man who loved her. It’s really very moving and shows that Tammy has a lot of soft and gentle qualities. Sometimes, Queen Tammy has an attitude, but the people who attack her online truly have it coming.

Tammy wears the two pieces filled with ashes, and she just loves jewelry in general. Tammy’s delightfully girly sometimes – she loves scented products, jewelry, clothes, makeup, pretty little home decorations. It’s relatable and that’s why she has such a big online following. She’s also known to clown around, dancing in TikToks while wearing Halloween costumes. She’s fun, feisty and bold, but Caleb brings out the poet in her heart. His sweetness soothes the savage beast.

Tammy loves collecting jewelry. She unboxes some of her purchases on TikTik, and it’s frankly quite fun to watch her open the padded envelopes and boxes. Who hasn’t gotten the same fleeting thrill from opening a package filled with things that are wanted but not needed? Almost everyone enjoys that.

Tammy styles her outfits well, adding touches of jewelry that mean a lot and look great. The treble clef was chosen because Tammy and Caleb both love music. They bonded over this. Now, Tammy enjoys dancing and adds songs that matter to her to many of her TikTok posts. Music is a part of her life – it enriches her experience and sparks her imagination.

Tammy Slaton Lived & Learned In 1000-Lb Sisters Season 5

Tammy hasn’t had the easiest life, and that’s why it’s so easy to root for her. Now that she’s thinner, her mobility is making her life so much easier. She has options rather than being trapped at home and feeling too dependent on other people. It’s a shame that she couldn’t experience all the wonders of drastic weight loss with Caleb – however, although his life was too short, his legacy is powerful.

1000-Lb Sisters is an emotional journey and Tammy’s jewelry is a symbol of just how much she feels. She’s not cold – she’s not a total diva. Sometimes, she’s Queen Tammy, but that’s not all she is. Tammy’s got some depth, grit and heart. As she adjusts to life in a very different body, she never forgets the man who made her feel like a princess.
