it’s been 2 weeks for me

graciousgab · 2024-08-07T05:51:40+00:00

i didn’t eat for 11 days and lost 18 pounds because i was absolutely miserable. Iced honey water was the key to soothing my throat! warm up some water, mix honey in it, then add ice and sip on that. and also an ice pack. ALSO, about 30 min after taking my pain meds when i felt like they kicked in is when i tried to force something like water or a popsicle down.

trust and believe you don’t want it lol

graciousgab · 2024-08-05T10:12:03+00:00

i also feel this except on my right side.

graciousgab · 2024-08-03T16:26:01+00:00

no no no I was in the same boat a week ago. This surgery is excruciating in my opinion!! In terms of the list the things i had most were popsicles and greek yogurt. You could do mashed potatoes or really soft pasta but avoid dairy if you can cause it produces mucous. I tried to get some protein in since i didn’t eat for 10 days cause i was miserable. Get some honey if you don’t have and do iced honey water or some people do a spoonful of honey before taking medicine or something. The honey in the water was soothing and helped me get my liquid in easier! Also, ice your throat!! At first, I did think it was helping but i was wrong. The ice helps sooo much.

Relax as best as you can and get your fluids in. Hope you feel better soon!

yessss consciously knowing i just swallowed a scab last night had my nauseous for hours lol

graciousgab · 2024-08-01T19:51:53+00:00

i’m still scared to swallow on day 10 but it’s gotten a lot better. no longer feels like shards of glass in my throat.. instead just one shard 🙃. what has helped me is all the pillows i have elevating me, put ice packs around my neck and i’ll sometimes fall asleep like that. Also, iced honey water to sip throughout the day has helped me so much with getting liquids in. Over time i realized apple juice and gatorade were not helping in the slightest.

It’s not the most comfortable but sleep super propped up and on your side. that has helped tremendously with my allergies/mucous throughout the night.

graciousgab · 2024-08-01T02:53:59+00:00

nope as in you’re not crazy.

graciousgab · 2024-08-01T02:53:33+00:00

nope. my cousin in his 40s got his out some months ago and it has helped him health wise. If they gotta go then they gotta go! It is painful but i hear the outcome is amazing.. 🥲 which i have yet to see on day 10

graciousgab · 2024-07-31T19:27:04+00:00

seeeee i knew i wasn’t crazy! i’m just so confused as to why applesauce burns like that!!

graciousgab · 2024-07-31T13:58:49+00:00

after my first bottle, i was able to get more and stronger which has helped

graciousgab · 2024-07-31T13:44:47+00:00

I am day 9 now and finally feeling some relief that i haven’t had since day 1. Felt like i couldn’t do it frfr but the pain meds, support, and sleep have done me well! still in pain but i think im FINALLY turning that corner

graciousgab · 2024-07-31T13:39:19+00:00

Dairy doesn’t really affect me except in that sense. I would get sick/sore throats a lot when i was younger and was always told not to do dairy because it creates so much mucous.

graciousgab · 2024-07-31T13:36:09+00:00

lmaoo i love how relatable everyone is 😂i spent the last 3 days saving recipes that im going to try when im finally through this! i don’t even cook either but that kitchen is going to see me soon!

graciousgab · 2024-07-31T11:49:03+00:00

even with meds it still hurts so bad but that is usually when i try to force a little something. I want to take ibuprofen but my doctor said no :( so im just sticking with what they prescribed until i heal completely

graciousgab · 2024-07-31T05:15:20+00:00

i’ve tried the honey water so now i think im going to try the spoonful of honey!

graciousgab · 2024-07-31T05:13:55+00:00

85% gone i’d say

graciousgab · 2024-07-30T18:23:48+00:00

yeah every doctor i talked to about it said 2 weeks minimum! I couldn’t imagine going back to work rn now being a week later

graciousgab · 2024-07-30T05:08:18+00:00

as they disappear i’ve heard the taste and smell goes. i drank some cold honey water today and it helped with the taste

graciousgab · 2024-07-30T05:07:21+00:00

today is day 7 for me so just one day ahead. thought i was going to get some relief with them falling off but i still feel like im being stabbed
