So I just got my tonsils out 2 days ago. It was painful and I'm still in pain. But the worst part is not being able to swallow I've been basically spitting out my mucus in paper towels cause it hurts. I thought it was going to be a lot worse cause of what people were telling me and what read. I have been drinking lots of Gatorade water and pops. I wish there was more on what to eat I'm starving but really can't eat sucks though
