You are correct that protein shakes are a way to easily get in calories and that they can cause you to gain weight. Find foods that you enjoy and tolerate well. Every calorie counts, so pick them wisely.

I am afraid of proteins and Omega and it is a stuff of moral level. I am afraid they will bring me kg. At the same time, I know they are mandatory for a healthy body. How to convince myself to drink this protein shake?

Did you go through with your surgery?
Whether you did or not, how are you doing?

Was your husband a feeder or someone with a fat fetish when you met or married?

I know that's kind of personal and blunt to boot, to ask, the reason why I am asking though is that while I'm not a clinically trained professional and not trying to pretend to be one on here, while most surgeon's now have protocols that include therapy both prior to surgery and recommended after, if you associate food with love, it might be helpful to address that also in therapy before you have surgery, as well as getting to the root cause of the power structure that seems to be a factor in your marriage.

Both food as love and history of the opposite where food and or weight being a reason not to be loved regardless of where someone fell on size spectrum from childhood to present, can kind of shape our relationship with food.

Realizing how you got to where you are (there's no judgement here, only a desire to try and support) now and your past history to present with both food and familial relationships and working with your surgeon's office at the same time, will best prepare you for post operative life, as well as if you have to go through a divorce during the surgical process preoperatively, you'll learn healthier coping mechanisms that aren't food related when self medicating with food is no longer an option post operatively.

Like the others, I do think you deserve better and hopefully therapy and support both before surgery and if you go through it after, you'll be in the best place you can be both physically and mentally, as I too would rather be alone than be with someone who doesn't have my best interest at heart, like literally and figuratively speaking.

best of luck to you.. peace...

I know this is very difficult. But you only get one life to live. There should not be conditions that relate to your health attached to your love. Bottom line. Lived it for many years. Do whatever you need to feel like you have done your best and then, RUN! You are growing. Don't let anyone stand in your way.
