Default Surgery June 21st, Just came down with cold

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting, I have been reading the forum daily for almost 2 weeks now, I have gained a wealth of knowledge from everyone's experiences. Thanks!
I now have my own question. I am scheduled for a lap RNY on June 21st, and about 2 days ago my throat started to get swollen and my sinuses are stuffy now.
I have a doc appt later today, but do you think that this cold could affect my surgery? I hope it goes away, but if it develops into a cough, I know the surgeon will make me reschedule. I wish there was something I could do to make it to where this doesn't turn into a cough!!
By the way, I am having surgery in Phoenix with Dr. Villares @ St. Lukes Medical Center. I have done all my pre-op testing, just have my pre-op appt. to go next Friday, then surgery next Tuesday. I found out yesterday that I am going to have to go on a full liquid diet starting a week before scheduled surgery. I wasn't expecting that, just went to the grocery store day before yesterday! Now I need to go back to get full liquid items!

In maintenance... now I'm yo-yoing up and down 10 lbs or so. I'm trying to find out how to stay at a set weight, it's rough.
