Hey there lady
Firstly, I don't think I can add much to the People who have posted before me.
There's loads of good supporting advice. Sadly this does not seem to be mirrored by your family.
This constant sickness is worrying. After your two day admittance to hospital did you feel better than when you went in? If you did then that is part of the answer.
I feel you are fighting this on so many fronts that knowing which way to go is a very difficult choice
Please keep us updated. We all want you to do well
Positive vibes from Kent. UK

GENEPRO helped me with this. I added a scoop to my hot decaf tea and a scoop to my broth. I drank both all day. I strained out the noodles from Lipton chicken noodle Soup. I told all my friends in my support group that. It really turned my mind around. 24 hours later I felt much better. I hope your doctors appointment goes well on Monday.

I'll echo that you need to do everything you can to get more Protein and calories in, and broth with unflavored protein powder will probably be the best way to do so. Sip on it all day if you have to. I started feeling much better when my protein and calorie levels came out of the basement!
About your husband -- I don't know you or your relationship and I am a stranger on the internet, but I can't even fathom one's life partner saying that something troublesome "is not my problem." Seriously, what a douche. If my partner said something like that to me about anything (whether I brought it on myself or not), he'd be sleeping at the Hilton...
I hope the coming days find a solution and an improvement in your situation. Good luck!

I will fully admit that I had an easy recovery but I want to add.
You are never going to better until you are getting some nourishment. So you should sip on broth with unflavored Protein powder all day. You are always going to feel sick and ill until you get get over 600 calories a day. The longer you go without eating and the less you eat, the harder it is going to be to eat and the worse you are going to feel. You are just going to feel weaker each day.
Drink protein that is a Water consistency all day. Options are broth with Protein Powder, Protein2O water, Syntrax nectars.
Even someone with a stricture should be able to get down liquids that are of a watery consistency.

I think I owe you my life! The first time I saw your before and after photo (in the purple sweat shirt) I was considering throwing in the towel. This was costing too much money. My insurance covers something if I cover my $2500 deductible!
But when I saw your photo my husband walked past and said "Wow she looks amazing. You're going to be that small again too."
I have never been that small! Lol but my husband was trying to be supportive so when he told me to think of this as an investment. I knew I had to do it. February 6th 2017.., I can't wait!!

So as of March 2nd, (2 days past my 9 month surgeversary) I have reached my goal weight!!!!!! I am ECSTATIC! I never NEVER dreamed that it was possible to be this small! And even better, I feel incredible! This journey has been truly life changing! 9 months, and 111lbs lost! It doesn't even seem real!
High weight: 236
Starting weight: 223
Current weight: 125!!!
Started out at a size 16/18. Now (and this is still hard for me to believe) I am a size 3!!! I've never been a 3 in my life!
