Hi Everyone

I had my tonsils out 19 days ago. I am hear to tell you to please ignore all the horror stories. Yes, it is sore but the more you eat & drink, the quicker you will recover. I ate normal food from day 1. I woke up from my operation in mild pain then had a slice of toast & a jacket potato. You wont want to eat much but please force yourself as it aids recovery & gives the painkillers something to work with

 

I found the first few days the sorest but the more I ate / drank the better. Take your meds whenever you need to. I stopped taking them about day 9. The scabs coming off is painful but if you drink cold water after you're eating (this will happen days 5-10) then the pain will subside slightly

 

Foods I ate during recovery:

Mash, porridge, muffins, pasta, chips, crisps, bananas, jelly, chicken, bread, fish fingers, rice, soups, vegetables & many more! Just take your time & mush things up. You will be able to eat but you have to just close your eyes & swallow as it's sore

 

If you have questions / comments then feel free to contact me. I promise there is light at the end of the tunnel & you will be fine :)
