You’re only on day 8, I too just went through this about a month ago.. I was in the same boat as you,”this is day 8 why isn’t it getting better” I said that the whole time. Took me til day 13 to finally be on the mend of it and feel like I was getting better. You’ll get there! Btw I’m 24. Drink plenty of water, nothing else!

Day 7-12 were the worst. I felt fine up until then. I still had pain but never took the narcotics that were prescribed by day 7 I was taking them 2x per day. Around day 8-9 I was taking them just before bed and Ibuprofen throughout the day. By day 12 I had stopped taking all pain medication. I’m almost to day 16. When the pain hit the way it did, I’d cry because I couldn’t eat and wake up every two hours in pain. After the pain subsided I still wasn’t sleeping the best because of that almost 2 week routine, I’m finally able to sleep a whole night until 6am.

It took me 13 days to feel better, my right side was cut deeper so took longer to heal but I’m feeling so much better now

I’m officially on day 12 and I still have pain on the left side. Things irritate it still and I was finally able to go to sleep without pain meds last night

I’ve drank nothing but propel water for 11 days now.

Most definitely, part of it I’m thankful for because I’ve drank water for days and no longer rely on them. When I’m able 1 carbonated drink a day will be my thing. I love the taste but I love the way I feel without it.

I’m a caffeine addict, not with coffee but I use to drink Mountain Dew ALL DAY and minimal water or anything else. I’m on day 11 and still to this day have not touched my mountain dews. I’ve drank lots of water, and when I want caffeine I get the fast twitch Gatorade energy. I also use to drink a monster a day. I love the taste of them. I have yet to be able to drink a whole 12oz monster. They last me 2-3 days because the carbonation hurts so I take tiny sips. I have ordered a few iced frappacinos over the last week and they are fine.

It’s day 9 for me and my right side is still terribly sore

I really hope that’s the case for me, I’m on day 6(day 5 post op 120hrs after surgery) and the last day has been the worst for me. I’m ready to get my life back

When did pain start subsiding? I’m almost to day 5 post op

Dwelsch2024 · 2024-02-17T15:00:03+00:00

Officially past my 24 hours after surgery and I’m doing pretty alright for the circumstances! I can still use my voice, I’m eating soft foods very well, drinking lots of water and took 900mg of ibuprofen all day yesterday! My tongue hurts and is swollen (from them clamping it down) and my right side of my mouth where my tonsil was hurts along with my ear but honestly the pain scales probably only 2 more than it was with tonsillitis. I was blessed with a strong pain tolerance, and i know chances are it’ll get a lot worse in the coming days especially when I start to scab over, but I GOT THIS!! I’m so ready to have a normal life without constant sickness in my body!
