Great start day one was fine, ate 2 sandwiches and a plate of chips. Now on day 6 after surgery, my best advise is eat and drink as much as possible. Yes I'm in a lot of pain but you have to fight through it. I stopped taking morphine and codeine day 2 as it was making me vomit. I've Been on paracetamol and ibuprofen since and it works just as good without the nausea. My advise is - You are meant to eat and drink as normal as possible to help the healing process if you don't it will take longer. Your pain will peak between day 4 and 10. Do not attempt to eat chocolate or prawn cocktail flavoured Chrisp's they hurt like hell. Use diflam oral Mouth wash and throat spray, numbs it a treat. Don't be scared about throwing up, there are less bacteria in your stomach acid than in your mouth, so it's actually cleaner. The ear and tongue pain will subside once the nerves calm down. Good luck folks
