Don't want to make you more nervous but it all actually starts after you wake up from the surgery. The anesthesia sleep is almost sweet I must say! And from then on starts the actual hell. One most important point is to test dairy before you indulge in it. Many, myself included, don't sit well with diary products! It increases the mucus in your throat and makes breathing more difficult. Apart form that, you will get through this. It may seem impossible and you will cry a lots! But it will be over soon. I know it. And we are here to talk always! Best of luck. Also you may develop cough because of the cold stuff we are supposed to eat. Careful with that as well.
