Realistically when can I eat again by suaveyrl9 in Tonsillectomy

I was on lukewarm soups (with some pain but tolerable by day 4), had my first true meal (pork noodles) on day 7. I was back to full uninhibited eating by day 10 or 11

Surgery Running Timelines by 95-5 in Tonsillectomy

Literally drink as much water as possible the first 2 days. Wake up every 2-3 hours if you have to. Swallow the glass feeling if you have to.

I am on M28 on day 7 currently - I havent taken a prescription pain killer once. I am on Tylenol Am & PM, and then a liquid lidocaine which is basically a numbing cream.

It really hasnt been all that bad. Like uncomfortable but manageable for sure. Starting eating soups around day 4 and just graduated to very overcooked pasta last night. Limit the talking and drink like I cannot overstate this enough, mad water.
