What is good to eat after tonsillectomy and is "docter pepper" a good idea?

i had my tonsils out about a year ago. and i didnt really eat anything for about a week.....just make sure to drink lots!! even if it is Dr. Pepper.....make sure to drink water tho too! the carbonation from the pop/soda can be hard on your throat so washing it down with some water is helpful.. any pudding or jello is good to eat! ice cream or eating popsicles out of a bowl is a good idea. sometimes it depends if cold or heat feels better on your throat. it can be different with each person but make sure to take your medicine or take tylenol on time to keep the pain at a minimum. expect to lose weight because you will not be eating as much as you normally would. it took me a month or longer to get back to eating normal foods. take it easy and get lots and lots of sleep. sleep is the best time your body can heal itself!
