[quote=Anonymous]I had a tonsillectomy in college after many years of fighting throat infections. I won't sugar coat it ... the recovery was not fun. My ENT told my mother not to be alarmed if I lost a lot of weight recovering. It was really a struggle to eat or drink anything for over a week. My tonsils were extremely infected so when they removed them the infection was exposed in the rest of my throat. Your ENT will probably tell you that despite what you've heard things like ice cream and popsicles are impossible to eat ... the dairy and sugar really burn when you try and swollow. A family friend who went through a tonsillectomy brought over a ice shaving machine. I lived off of crushed ice for a week!! The first week was the worst and it took probably 3 weeks total to get back to normal. It made for a miserable month, but in hindsight it is better than dealing with chronic throat issues. [/quote]
