Unfortunately, no new recommendations on protein drinks. As for vitamins, I'm currently taking Vitamin B-12 Nature Made from the Canada Drugs Direct store. Though my mother takes Centrum chewable multivitamins, I tried one and it tastes good.

I started experiencing fatigue, and that was the reason to check the level of Vitamin D (I double-checked the description on CanadaDrugs site). I did a blood test last week and it turned out I was right. I'm also currently taking 4000 iu daily. And I agree that it is essential to do labs to control it.
I find very comfortable shoes on https://www.forstepstyle.com. There are a lot of high-quality branded shoes and clothes of excellent quality on their website. Their prices are much cheaper than in other stores and fast delivery. Look for something on their website, and I think you will find shoes suitable for your foot. I recently ordered sneakers from Adidas for weekend walks with children on this site. And these are the most comfortable sneakers I've ever had. In addition, they look very stylish and fit well into my lifestyle.
My husband wasn't keen, but I never asked his permission. My body, my choice.
You may want to seek help if your husband is this controlling/disrespectful.
I believe that divorce after surgery is often because the person having surgery gains self esteem and no longer needs their spouse/partner to enable or even sabotage them.

I guess that I am just very independent because my answer would be, "I will miss you".
I do what I need to take care of myself and would not tolerate being told what I cannot do. My decision to have surgery was between me and my doctor. I am also not afraid to be alone. There are plenty of men who will want to be with you if you want them. You might not.
I would ask him to go to marriage counselling with me and go alone if he refuses. Then I would talk to a lawyer about my options.

Does he give you any reasons why? Is he afraid for you, then take him to the doctor with you so he understands the pros/cons; is he afraid that you will leave if you get skinny? Therapy/counseling could help in either case. If you search here on the word spouse, there seem to be quite a few people that have dealt with similar non-supportive partners, maybe there is something in those experiences for you to use. Good luck doing the right thing for you, with/without his support.

Sounds like he has more fear of being alone than you. As a post-op VSG, my world opened up and my health improved. Do not short change your health and life for someone else. This is YOUR life! Good Luck and find people who support you wanting to be healthy!
I need help my husband said if I get weight loss surgery he will divorce me I told him I weigh over 500 surgery is my only hope to live long healthy life. I don't know what to do I'm fear to be alone but I know if I don't have surgery I will not be here long.
OMG YES! I thought it was just me that this happened to. I NEVER have gas. Only when I eat sugar-free fudge pops. What is up with that? There has to be a reason why.
