Hi Lori, My name is Shereese and I had my tonsils removed on Sept 4th. I had been battling sore throats and tonsilitis now all my life and I am 23. I had heard all the horror stories from friends whose children had had the surgery as well as themselves. I just figured I had to bite the bullet. So I had the surgery yesterday. And it wasn’t even that bad. Don’y get me wrong my throat hurts like I ate fire like those guys at the circus, but I seem to be doing well. The worse part about it for me was having to go under anesthia. I was so anxious and afraid about that they had to give me something to get rid of it. Of course it hurts to swallow. But as long as I’m not swallowing I’m super! I’ve been eating vanilla pudding, whipped yogurt is delicious, and drinking large amounts of apple juice and water. I have to pee every 15 minutes I tell you no lie. I haven’t tried ice cream yet but I’m sure looking forward to it. I will keep your story in the back of my mind while I head down the road to a hopeful speedy recover. Thanks alot. -Shereese-

Joseph, I’m sorry you’re stressed. Have you talked with a friend? I find that helps the most.

I am going in for surgery on Monday August 11th. It is very scary, because I hear that it will hurt so much. I already stocked up on ice cream, yogurt and soup. You said I won’t even be able to swallow ice cream, now I am scared!!!! Thank you for your comments it gives me an idea of what to look forward to.
