I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow and have a rotten cold. I am sneezing, coughing. If I don't miraculously lose it by tomorrow, I doubt seriously they will operate. I have been on liquids for a week and can't imagine getting my date pushed back to who know when. :thumbdown:

make sure you let your surgeon know... you do not want to be fighting a cold/flu and trying to recuperate from surgery. : ( Sorry to hear that you are feeling under the weather.

I was in the same boat as you pre surgery. Be sure to let your surgeon know if there is any congestion or fever. Me... I didn't have congestion so much as just post nasal drip and a scratchy throat. I think they pump you full of antibotics and fluids. By the time I was cohearant from surgery all my cold symptoms were gone because of all the antibotics and fluids. SO my advise is to continue unless you have congestion and fever. Or if you just have one of those. I hope for the best... Good luck

Thanks, and no Goodlife I didn't call the dr. I figured he would cancel on me and I might be better tomorrow so I'm just hoping

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
