Sick while on Optifast - urgent advice required
I've been feeling ill all day. I had to come home early and when I got home I threw up. I've only managed one shake today, though I've managed to sip water consistently through the day.
I'm really not hungry, but should I force myself to have all four shakes? Surgery is in 7 days.
Help!
Thanks in advance.

You don't need to force the shakes, as others have said. Just focus on staying hydrated. Tea, water, broth, crystal light, etc. Whatever you can keep down. I had many days where I did not have all 4 of my shakes. There is nothing magical about the shakes, they help you lose some weight/shrink liver via restricted calories.
Hope you are feeling better today!
