Hey again!
So, yesterday was my day 2. Overall, it felt a lot like day 1. Not a whole lot of pain, but I kept up on my meds and drank lots and lots of water.
Not too much different to report, so I will mainly stick to telling you what I successfully ate, so that people looking for ideas of what they can eat post-tonsillectomy have a few more.
Breakfast: I had cream of wheat. It was okay, but kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. That might just be a personal problem though....texture-wise it was good...
Lunch: refried beans with a little bit of cheese. This was AWESOME. I ate a lot of them. Went down smooth, got some real nutrients. Overall, an excellent choice.
Dinner: mashed potatoes mixed with risotto and a little bit of cheese. Again, good texture. Mashed potatoes are absolutely the key to survival during this recovery period. Perfect.
Dessert: Okay, so I went out on a limb here... I was feeling really awesome near the end of the night and craving something sweet. As you can see, I have been doing a little bit of dairy without any problems. We had some chocolate chip cookie dough in the fridge so I made a few cookies (for the fam) and had one drenched in milk. It worked out pretty well. Tasted great and was soft enough that it didn't hurt at all.
Overall, day 2 was pretty good for me. Last night I think my scabs started to come off a bit, and today I'm not feeling quite as great, but its only minimally painful. Mostly I'm just having a hard time talking and swallowing isn't quite as easy as before. Lots of rest today and hopefully I will feel awesome again tomorrow! Updates to follow :)
