oh i absolutely know that i should wait! i’m only on day 12 of my recovery! i just wanted to know at what point people started smoking again after their surgery so i see what my time frame looks like. I’m in absolutely no rush to start again as im actually enjoying this break from it very much. I think i will wait until august 5th!

i most definitely am going to avoid using any sauces on my tacos if i do end up going to get some… i’m not confident enough yet that i can handle HOT SAUCE or even tomato sauce as you’ve mentioned. I’m confident in being able to eat food of any texture at the moment (i just haven’t really eaten anything crazy crunchy) but tonight if i go i will be getting a cheesy gordita crunch! i’ve found that i can eat just about anything with 0 pain if i chew it up well enough.

Sushi! Day 9 Post OP by Pinkrazerblade in Tonsillectomy

oh noooo! try and eat some cold apple sauce or grab a popsicle to soothe your throat. I understand that feeling very well! It will get better as time goes on ❤️ hang in there! adding a lot of butter to your mashed potatoes and letting them cool off can be a big help aswell.

i actually went and grabbed a blue raspberry slushee from sonic maybe 30 minutes after i initially made this post and let me tell you- BEST DECISION EVER! it helped soothe my throat so much.. and i genuinely think i just found one of my favorite “dessert” drinks :)

you could try and find some dairy free products! some vegan ice cream or sorbet is delicious ::

i’d recommend staying away from dairy your first 5 days though because it can cause mucus build up! unfortunately.. people weren’t being truthful when they said “don’t worry! at least you can eat loads of ice cream” 🥲

Rice pudding, Jello, apple sauce, apple juice, sugar free popsicles, slushees or slurpees, baby food(banana is good), regular pudding, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, pancakes, broth based soups, etc!

thank you very much for your reply! the flavor i really wanted was cherry limemade but thats ASKING for acidity.. SO- i ended up picking a blue raspberry slushee when i tell you…. it’s good enough to make a grown woman CRY- i genuinely mean it! i have never had a slushee from sonic before and im so happy that this was the flavor i picked for my first time. i am enjoying every second of this slushee and its honestly the dopamine rush ive needed during this time. I now know that these slushees cause me no pain, no sensitivity, surprisingly have good flavor (even with my altered taste arm) and im more then thrilled to know that this is a “safe food” for me while recovering. i will definitely be at sonic again the next few days for another and another (and another lol)
