This is the worst pain I've experienced on my entire life. It's been 6 days, and I'm living off popsicles, apple sauce, and mashed potatoes. I'm starving. I can tell my body is getting weak because I haven't had enough food. I was hoping to come back to school today, but I might have to wait a whole week if I feel like this. Everyone keeps telling me it'll be with it.. But it doesn't feel worth it at this point. I just want this all to end.

Im sorry you hurting :-) I say eat alot of chiken noodle  soup. And Im 29 I had mine takeing out when I was 12 and beleave me its worth it. I never get a soar throught now Im glade I did it And I hope you get to feeling better. Good luck. My son was 11 when he had his takin out  and he loved getting pampered. I hope you are to take it easy and you will get better. :-)

You're right, I was 10 when they stole mine from me and it WAS the worst pain I had ever felt.
I survived on ice cream and juice and watery soup. Before they did it to me they said I would be able to have all the ice cream I wanted, like that was supposed to make it a wonderful thing. They were WRONG!!!

They had nearly my whole grade school class in the hospital for the spring vacation. So we had a week to recover before having to go back to school. To make it worse I began trumpet lessons that year and had just gotten to where I could make noises that resembled music. When I tried to play it after they removed my adenoids along with the tonsils I couldn't play a note. The air just went out my nose. Eventually I mastered that problem.

That was many, many, years ago and I didn't starve to death so you will most likely survive too. As time goes on you will be able to swallow more real food and it does get better.
