I hope you are doing well! You must have had quite the infection for them to remove tonsils these days. ((hugs))The surgery is easy. Its a very quick process and a pretty fast healing process.

-Lots of fluids...water is best.
-Buy a pack of popcicles just in case you need them (or just want them...yum!)
-Start thinking of what flavour popcicle you want when you get out of surgery! (I like orange!)

A guy at work had this done a few weeks ago. It will take longer to heal than you think. You'll tire sooner because your body is using energy to heal itself.

start taking Vit. C now and continue up until the surgery.
Afterwards, drink plenty of liquids like water to keep the throat wet.
Stick with soft foods for the first few days...
Good luck!

If you are spiritually oriented at all surround yourself with the White Light a couple of days before the surgery and for about a week afterwards. Affirm this everyday. The day before also surround the doctor,nurses,technicians and aides that are involved in your healing with the White Light. When you are able to focus after the surgery, visualize White Light flowing into the top of your head and flowing thruyour entire body -- down thru your throat, torso, legs and feet, making a u-turn in your feet and back up thru your body. If you have pain and discomfort in your throat area, breathe in thru your nostrils normally, but fel the air (energy) going out thru your throat, taking the pain and discomfort with it. Try to breath slowly, deeply and to a count of about 6, if you can manage it. If you can't, just breathe as slowly as possible (in nostrils, out thru the throat) and focus on the breath -- energy and healing in, pain and discomfort out. This can really help. It will work. If you are a little zonked with pain medication (or anesthesia) it will really work b/c you will be relaxed and in an altered state already! All the medical advice (drink lots of ice water, eat soft foods) is also good. Please let me know if you try this. It will help. Lunarpanda

I was a kid when I had mine out, but I'd suggest you stock up on ice cream, popsicles, and soup. If you are the slightest bit nauseous, do not drink water; drink ginger ale or something like Gatorade or Pedialyte.

Good luck and don't worry!
