Liza’s Tonsillectomy Recovery Tips
I had my tonsils out on Feb 20th. I’m now post op day 10…. I’m 47. Wow! What a hard 10 days! Like most, my surgery day was ok just a bit of discomfort really… day 2-3 was bearable but eating was uncomfortable. Night times are hard and hardly slept. Day 4-10 were by far… Continue reading Liza’s Tonsillectomy Recovery Tips
Tyra’s Tonsillectomy
Hi everyone, I am a 20 year old female and am on day 11 of my recovery. I want to start by saying that everyones bodies differ and both the healing process and pain threshold are not the same for everyone. For example, my best friend had this same surgery about 2 years ago and… Continue reading Tyra’s Tonsillectomy
Julia’s Tonsillectomy Journal
I am 27 years old and I had my tonsils and adenoids removed on February 14th. I am on Day 11 and I am pretty much back to normal- only a bit of throat pain (think first days of strep infection).

Jordan’s Daily Tonsillectomy Recovery Journal
Day 1: Day one went a lot better than I had originally thought. The only thing is it gave me false hope about what the rest of the recovery would be like (I was in for a shock.) I spent most of the day in hospital, as I had stayed overnight due to my heart… Continue reading Jordan’s Daily Tonsillectomy Recovery Journal
Kate’s Tonsillectomy Story
Day of surgery/day 1: vomited a lot. It was black and full of blood (due to fasting and swallowing blood respectively). This was pretty terrible and they had to shoot me full of anti nausea drugs for hours. I was operated on at 4 and they let me leave at 10 at night. Days 1-4:… Continue reading Kate’s Tonsillectomy Story
A Good Tonsillectomy Recovery
From a Reader: I’d like to share my recent tonsillectomy experience for those of you who are nervous. I was either very lucky or did all the right things because I had very little “intense/sharp” pain during any portion of the recovery process and I am now in week 3 post-op. For context, I am… Continue reading A Good Tonsillectomy Recovery
Gigi’s Tips For Tonsillectomy
I had my Tonsillectomy on 15/01/18. I’m not generally a sickie type of person and usually only have one or two day a year off sick. Last summer I had a series of very mild sore throats.
