Kathy Allan, 58, has become so weak that the only food she can manage to keep down is two packets of the dissolving crisps each day.
Last October the gran of six, from Ayr, was diagnosed with a four-inch stomach hernia that causes her to constantly be sick when she eats or drinks.
The Record previously told how Kathy has lost a frightening 12st in just NINE months, after weighing 17st last summer.
She has begged medics for an urgent operation to put an end to her misery but has been hit with three cancellations at Ayr Hospital, with NHS Ayrshire & Arran facing a surgeon crisis, after the top specialist retired in March.
Now, health chiefs have been forced to transfer her 180 miles to Aberdeen for the procedure but professionals at NHS Grampian won't perform the op unless Kathy gains weight.
Fearing she won't make it as far as Christmas, Kathy has been left desperately guzzling Skips in a bid to stay alive.
She told the Record: "I won't see the end of the year the way things are going, "I feel like I'm just hanging on to my life now. I don't know how much more my body can take.
"I've lost 12 stone. I'm like a child's weight now and I'm too weak for surgery. I need a feeding tube, it's my last hope.
"The only thing I can barely keep down is Skips. I'm surviving on just those and flat Diet Cokes.
"I eat one small bag in the morning and a bigger packet at night. It's because they dissolve it's the only thing that works.
