Oh no! I hope you are feeling better. I'm not sure about a cold delaying surgery... let us know what happens!! Hoping that you are feeling better and that your surgery can go on as planned!

My surgery is Jan 24th and I started with coughing and congestion the Monday before my pre op diet. I had to stop my pre op diet so I can get some real food into me but I'm trying to stick very close to high Protein and no sugars and fats. I still lost 2 pounds. My sore throat is getting better. No fever. I still am a little congested and a lot less coughing. I am going to another state for my surgery and I'm praying this won't make for a delay. I am going back on my pre-diet tomorrow. Thank God for this 3 day holiday! I hope you feel better and please let me know what happened.

The cold didn't delay me but I sure did feel all the coughs post-op! Tomorrow will be one week post-op and im planning on going back to work... I hope everything goes well. Had my one week check up today and the Doc says Im doing great, he wants me to increase to 3-4 Protein Shakes a day. So far so good!!!
