My 30 Day Experience After A Tonsillectomy Surgery - NO SURGERY FOOTAGE

In this video, you’ll see me go through the recovery stages from a tonsillectomy surgery. As mentioned, I wasn’t able to get footage of the actual surgery being done and I wasn’t allowed to see the tonsils after they were removed from my body. The main reason for making this video is to show you what the recovery is like - it’s not pleasant.
If you’re having the operation done, I’d advise you to listen to the person giving you the pre-operation assessment and take notes. Believe it or not, although the surgery may not seem very big to you (like it did to me), if you do not rest, it can be dangerous.
During the recovery, days 3-8 were the worst for me (and most people). You will have good days and bad days. One morning you may wake up feel better, and the following day may seem worse. It was difficult to eat and drink, even drinking water was a struggle for me. I couldn’t each much for the first week so I ended up drinking high calorie drinks to give my body energy. I lost just under a stone altogether. Most people will experience weight loss, but your body will naturally put the weight back on, which can take up to 6 weeks.
After the operation, it took me just over 3 weeks eat comfortably, but this can vary from person to person. I was off work for just under 3 weeks due to my throat bleeding. I’d advise you to take 2 weeks off work, get plenty of rest and sleep and drink as much water as you can. On my second follow-up operation (6 weeks after operation) I checked out to okay and my mouth was healing as it should.
I do apologise if the pictures inside of my mouth look bad quality, but I wasn’t able to get many clear pictures, as it hurt to open my mouth sometimes.
**It took me just over 5 weeks to feel fully recovered**
My weight loss and gain:
Before operation: 10st
- 2 weeks after operation: 9st 1lb
- 4 weeks after operation: 9st 3lb
- 6 weeks after operation: 9st 3lb
- 8 weeks after operation: 9st 5lb
Things you may experience after the operation. Everything in brackets is what I experienced:
- Taste buds changing (lasted 6 weeks)
- Swollen uvula (lasted 3 weeks)
- Feeling tired (on and off for 3 weeks)
- Muffled/throaty voice (lasted 3 weeks - the first few days I couldn’t talk much)
- White tongue (lasted 2 weeks)
- Bad breath due to the scab (lasted 2 weeks)
- Stiff neck (lasted around 10 days)
- Lots of saliva (lasted around 10 days)
- Painful to swallow saliva (lasted around 10 days)
- Bleeding after operation (happened 2 weeks after operation)
- Coughing up small amount of blood (happened 2 weeks after operation)
- Feeling hungry 24/7 (started just over 3 weeks after operation)
- Bad sleeps (varied day-to-day)
- Fever
- Headache
- Feeling faint
- Dehydration
- Stomach ache
- Tongue swelling
- Difficult to breath
- Feeling/being sick
- Disrupted breathing during sleep
Medicine I was taking:
- Ibuprofen
- Co-Codamol
- Erythromycin
- Clarithromycin
Mouthwash & throat rinse I was using:
- Difflam Sore Throat Rinse (throughout the day)
- Corsodyl Gum Treatment Mouthwash (morning and before bed)

Day 7 after my surgery! Had tonsillitis 3 times and trust me, tonsillitis was much worse than the recovery process from the surgery. My tonsils were so inflamed and infected that they were black and swollen. Days 1-5 we’re definitely the worst but it was so worth it! Can’t wait to eat wings and steak again! Great video!

@cm66ot69 4 года назад

@@liufox4394 To be honest, I've got no idea. I guess if people don't want to go ahead with the operation (because of the tonsil stones) then it's another way round it. But I'd stick to getting the tonsils removed, that way, theres no way of the stones coming back - unless your tonsils grow back again.

@cm66ot69 3 года назад

@@This_or_Thatx1 the reason tonsils are removed is normally because they're inflamed (causing a pain at the back of your neck like you say), or because of tonsil stones. Medicine will help, but there's a chance the tonsils will become inflamed again in the future. So you're best to speak to your doctor if you're getting the pain regularly. A lot of people get tonsillitis, but not everyone needs the surgery. I'm not a doctor or anything, so don't quote me on that. But I hope this info helps! 👍

Currently on day 12, I had a hemorrhage on day 7 with my left scab opening up and had to go to the ER to get recauterized. Today the majority of my pain is on my left side and my right side only feels a little tight/uncomfortable. My neck/ears/head still hurt too but doctors said this is normal.

I was in so much pain that I literally couldn't sleep that well, My throat was hurting and my jaw and ears were extremely sore to the point were an heating pad was the only thing relieving it.

I would also recommend you to check if you have any digestion issues like GERD or other gastric issues.. that will also cause frequent throat infections. Please do a thorough check before finalizing the surgery. Your throat will be full of scabs for 2 weeks. After a month things will be back normal. it's horrible experience I know. You can't anything spicy for 2 weeks apart from ice creams. But nothing to worry. Do the gastric issues check up. May be that could be your issues. If it's healed no need of this surgery

Hello, this my tonsillectomy experience. The reason I had to get my tonsills removed is because they were so big they made me sick everyday and I was unable to breathe correctly because my nose was also blocked all the time. Day 1: - Immediately after waking up from the surgery I noticed I was breathing fine. - I didnt feel any pain (immediately after waking up). - I had to wait few hours before I could have a sip of cold water. - I only drank water and milk and felt mild pain while swallowing. - I was prescribed Paracetamol, Anti-biotics and an Anti-inflamatory. - Cant talk. Day 2: - My mouth was producing excessive amounts of saliva and it was painful to have to swallow it every 30 seconds so Instead I started spitting it. - Mild pain. - Feeling of something stuck in the back of my throat. - I had Ice cream (vanilla), milk, yogurt and milkshakes. - Cant talk. Day 3, 4, 5, 6: - My mouth was still producing a lot of saliva and I kept spitting it everytime I felt I had to. - Mild pain only while swallowing. - feeling of something stuck in the back of my throat. - mild ear pain. - I can talk but It feels uncomfortable. - I only had Ice cream, milk, yogurt and milkshakes. Day 7: - I tried eating vegetable soup, it hurt. - Mild ear pain. - Still feels uncomfortable to talk. - Less saliva. Day 8: - I ate pancakes even though it was a bit painful. - Ear paintalking. - Less uncomfortable talking. Day 9: - I still dont understand why but I woke up with the worst pain since the surgery, ear pain was also unbearable at that point. - I felt much better after taking Paracetamol. - I ate french fries and Pizza through the pain. Day 10: - Mild pain first thing in the morning. - Still painful to eat. - Ear pain. I'm on day 11 today and I still have ear pain. Please make sure : 1. You have a sip of water every now and then, it's important to keep your throat hydrated to ease the pain. 2. You take your meds on time even if you have to wake up in the middle of the nthen to do it, morning pain is the worst. 3. You avoid solid foods at least for a week or anything that has citrus in it until you're fully healed.

@V1Salvo 2 года назад

@@Natt96 It is normal for a small amount of bleeding to happen. If the blood can literally be seen leaking out, then I would go to the ER just to be safe. However, if you experience just some taste of blood and see some small amount, then it is normal. Also, you should go to the ER if the blood is bright red. This is likely just the normal process. You are on Day 7 and scabs typically fall of between days 5-10. Make sure you drink plenty of water and avoid hot liquids and food. Eat soft foods to ease any scratchiness in the throat. Your pain should be a lot better by now. But unless your blood is bright red or is more than minor, then don’t worry. But if you still are very worried, then you can call whatever number is appropriate in your country to ask questions. In the UK, 111 is a good number to call. It is not for emergencies, but they can let you talk to a doctor if it is necessary and they also ask questions about the bleeding. If you can, you can also call your surgeon if you have their number. I never noticed any bleeding during my tonsillectomy recovery, however between days 5-10 (I think about day 8) I did start having this weird metallic taste in my mouth, which was most likely minor bleeding. Remember, minor bleeding is normal because your scabs are falling off (which is good and normal).

@Natt96 2 года назад

@@V1Salvo Thanks a lot for your answer. I'll try to calm down. So far I haven't had any bleeding.

Can’t eat still and I’m still spitting saliva but I’m feeling much better. If you can’t eat, try making shakes that are high in protein so you can keep weight (I lost 10 pounds within 5 days). The pain was the worst on day 5 (a scab fell of too early and it was the worst pain I’ve ever felt lol). If you have small tonsils like I used to have, recovery should be faster and less painful (I have little to no pain when I swallow right now, Weirdly when I drink water and other things it begins to hurt).

Day 11 here!! Thank you for your video and your pictures, it was very helpful! As of now, I've been healing pretty good and my scabs are almost gone, so yay! The only thing that bothers me is my swollen uvula. In the description box, you said it took 3 weeks until your uvula was healed, but when exactly did you start seeing improvment? And after a year since your surgery, have you had any problems with your uvula, like does it get big for no reason? I've never had a swollen uvula in my life until after this surgery and it scares me :(

@cm66ot69 3 года назад

No problem, I'm glad it helped! From what I remember, my uvula was swollen about a month after my operation and it was swollen for about 3 weeks (I can't remember exactly as it was over a year ago I had the surgery). I went to see the doctor about it and he said it's fine, and it's just to do with your mouth healing as the whole mouth as been affected by the surgery. Since my surgery, I have not had any problems with my uvula or anything. I wouldn't worry, honestly! Like I said, it's most likely your mouth recovering and for some reason your uvula gets swollen, but from my experience, I never had a problem with it long term. Just keep an eye on it, and if it gets a lot worse or is the same in a month's time, then contact your doctor. I hope this helps! :)

Lol, it’s my first night after the surgery. It’s literally 10 hours after. Of course I cannot swallow without pain, but that’s the only pain for now. I don’t feel any other serious pain and maybe this is because of the paracetamol (2x500mg every six hours). It feels like when I had tonsillitis, so it’s not a new feeling for me. I had to remove them because they were oversized and were causing apnea. They literally called me from the hospital 4 days before the operation, so I didn’t have time to be stressed and whatsoever. Besides this, I knew it would be for good and I didn’t even feel any stress. I hope the recovery to be as less painful as it can. Btw, I came back at home feeling that I wanted to eat a whole pizza or hamburger, so I tried to substitute with some natural hummus... Though the hummus contained garlic and I immediately felt it, so I stopped eating after the 3rd tea spoon 😂 Think positive!!!

If I stop eating (which I do immediately), then the pain slowly goes away. And the pain is not related to the painkiller, as it can happen even after I get it! Weird operation and definitely weird and painful time.

Yeah, I experienced the same thing! My breath was terrible for a good week or so after the surgery. But don't worry, it will go away within two weeks from what I remember. The reason why you've got bad breath is because of the scab - that's how I understand it. It could also be the fact that, because it hurts to fully open the mouth (it did for me), trying to brush your teeth 'properly', isn't so easy, so that could be part of the issue as well. But give it a few weeks (I know, it's pretty disgusting) and your breath should be back to normal then. All the best 👍

Thanks for the video bro I had mine out just over a month ago now and it still hurts slightly when I yawn like you said drinking slower then I would usually hopefully by the 2 month mark I’ll be 100%

Getting my tonsils removed because of tonsil stones as well... Do you think it was worth the pain, I mean does the benefits of not having tonsil stones outweigh the pains of the procedure?

@cm66ot69 3 года назад

Good question, but absolutely yes! I don't regret have the tonsils removed, no matter how painful it was. Once the worst of the pain is over, you don't have to worry about tonsil stones forming, ever again.

Hi there , I’m on day 5 now since my tonsillectomy I’ve been in the worst pain ever in my life, want to ask does you feel like the food and bit of water stuck in the back of your throat right above swollen uvula ? And do you guys try to gargle with salty solution to help healing faster and dissolve any sticking food around ? And for those who’s athletic, when were you guys be able-back to your gym & workout routine ? since I’ve been freezing my subscription now for a month 😪

Awesome video! I’m on day 5 and can barely eat. In the afternoon it’s a bit better and I can usually eat something. Are the scabs painful? Also, when were you able to get back to eating basic solids, like pasta, certain fruits, bread etc. I’m just sick of ice cream 😂

@cm66ot69 4 года назад

I was the same on about day 5! Well, I guess so, I don't know if it's the scab itself or the whole mouth causing the pain. Even so, it's painful isn't it! I was eating more and more solid foods from about day 20 from what I remember. Yeah I missed pasta and normal food! 😂 If you look on the video description there's info including what I experienced, how long for and when I was able to eat normally again etc. Good luck on your recovery!

I ate some Kind bars, but any softer granola bars might help. Day 18 now, and about half my scabs have come off. I think gargling warm salt water helps with that thick mucus back there too, half a teaspoon in a 8 ounces of warm water after I brush my teeth.

@cm66ot69 3 года назад

I feel your pain. It's the worst. It took me about 10-14 days before I felt more comfortable drinking and eating. I wouldn't rush going back to work, but if you feel comfortable enough when you're supposed to go back, you should be okay. It honestly depends on what you do for a living. Hope you feel better 👍

I'm 4 days post tonsillectomy and concerned about the possibility of significant bleeding. When you went to hospital, what did they do to stop your bleeding?

@zerodone1339 3 года назад

I had that happen on day 5, I suddenly started to bleed a lot more, so we went to the ER where the doctor had to remove a big blood clot from the back of my mouth and burn the bleeding spot. Sorry I don't remember the right words for the burning thing!

@cm66ot69 3 года назад

My bleeding stopped before I got on the ambulance, so they didn't have to do anything. They just checked around and at the back of my throat to make sure there wasn't anything that would make my mouth bleed again.

@rubwa4862 4 года назад

Wondering when you were able to eat solid foods completely again without pain such as chicken, chips, etc? I’m on day 12 and cannot way any food whatsoever yet

@cm66ot69 4 года назад

Yes I was, but not until the fourth week I'd say. I still had to chew more than I would normally to help with the pain. Try eating food that isn't too harsh to eat like rice, Weetabix and soup etc. I wasn't able to eat chips and chicken for a while.

@misslover202 3 года назад

So when you say you had disrupted breathing during sleep, what do you mean by that? Like you briefly stopped breathing and then woke up? I recently had an abscess in my throat, and that happened to me. I am getting my tonsils out this coming January because of that. Thanks for sharing this video!

@cm66ot69 3 года назад

I would wake up a few times a night in pain and it would take me a longer amount of time to get back to sleep, than it normally would do. It just feels uncomfortable and it may hurt at the beginning for the first few weeks. Best of luck! I hope your recover quickly!

Hey so I am on day 7, I watch your video everyday and I noticed your uvula is still swollen on day 9. My uvula is also very swollen and I'm not able to see the bottom if it. Any insight on when the uvula will get smaller and go back to normal?

@cm66ot69 2 года назад

Hello! So my uvula was swollen for around 3 weeks, which is longer than usual. My doctor told me it's normal for this to happen as it's been affected by the operation. I'd give it another few weeks, and if it's still the same after that, maybe speak to your doctor about it. But I reckon it will go back to normal within a few weeks. Please feel free to read the description where I list everything I experienced, what I was affected by and how long the side affects lasted.

Thankyou

@cm66ot69 3 года назад

I would suggest contacting your doctor. I never experienced this, but I doubt you'd be the only one who feels like that. It could just be part of your mouth healing or something. But I'd let your doctor know and see what they suggest.

My weight loss and gain in the description. I understand you're worried but you'll be glad once they're out, trust me! For the first few weeks I was eating yogurts, soups, toast (to toughen up the scab healing), and other light foods. I was mainly just drinking water and calorie drinks for the first few days as it hurt so much to swallow. Best of luck! 👍
