                        I am 23 and i just had a tonsilectomy 5 days ago.  I am still unable and unwilling to eat anything.  The procedure was painless and the first and second days I felt okay.  But the days following are pretty bad.  I signed on looking for some info on recovery.  I was told not to eat or drink dairy products for the first couple of days because of the flem build up.  I am having problems sleeping cause saliva sneaks back into my throat causing me to gag.  It is very frustrating listening to eveyrone tell me what to eat and what to do.  U need to heal at your own pace and if your not ready to eat right away, don't.  I am sure I will be fine in a couple of days and I am sure it will have been worth it in the long run.
