@Acreativechaospodcast on Instagram shared a clip from their chat with Tammy where the host opened up about getting gastric sleeve surgery in 2018. Hunter Ezell spoke about how he couldn’t finish all his food on his plate after the procedure. He added, “Them pre-op diets, they’re pretty ****** nuts,” which made Tammy let out a sigh. She revealed she was on a liquid pre-op diet. She mentioned the “liquid protein,” but she couldn’t recall what it was called. “It’s nasty,” Tammy remembered.
“All of it makes me sick.”
The host asked Tammy if she’d tried the “Fairlife shakes,” but she mentioned how “all the milk stuff” makes her feel sick. She prefers to eat dry powder. She likes to eat her protein instead of adding milk to it to make shakes.
