Just had tonsillectomy on 5/30. I found this site is really informative. I have two questions. (1) Weight : Lost 5 pounds so far, is this normal? Does the weigh gain back quickly after you resume normal solid food? (2) How bad is it when the scab falls off? Can you please tell me your experience about it? Is there anything I can do to make it easier (such as drink a lot? or eat some solid food prior? or?) Thanks!!
