Sick and Surgery is a week away.... :(

I have a major head and chest cold and am scheduled for surgery on June 18, I'm worried that i'll get sicker and not be able to have surgery.  Also worried if I i do get surgery and I'm not over my cold and I continue coughing my stomache muscles and incisions will be killing me. 
I did ask at the preop if they'd cancel surgery over a cold and they said generally no. 
Any suggestions on getting rid of a head cold and clearing your chest i'm constatly coughing up phlem. 
But still so excited for the surgery and my new life that's to come, also really worried that I'll some how sabotage it and not lose the weight. 
Oh and any suggestions on what to drink the first couple weeks post op, protein drinks? 
Thanks again....

Get lots of rest and drink lots (orange juice and water).  You want to be at your strongest when having surgery just so you can recover well.
Right after post-op I was mostly drinking water, tea and crystal light.  I was allowed full liquids quickly so I also drank skim milk and diabetic Boost.  I didn't start protein shakes until about 3 weeks after surgery.  You will do fine!!!

 agreed, lots of rest, liquids and try COLD FX....that stuff saved my life at Christmas time when i was swamped with christmas craft shows and orders etc....i couldnt be sick!
It works fairly quick to...a c ouple of days.
I was told surgery coudl be cancelled if you were sick because if you can't breath they wont put you under and if your body tries to cough while your in surgery it could be dangerous

 hope you are better and ready for the big surgery
Good luck

I am feeling better thank you, so excited for my big day and the next year of my life.... :)
