I've only ever had my tonsils and wisdom teeth removed. Both terrible experiences.
When I had my tonsils removed my mom only fed me "popsicle soup" for almost a week because I could eat anything else.
When I had my wisdom teeth removed, the pain wouldn't go away regardless of how many painkillers I was taking. I tried Tylenol 3s as originally prescribed, two at a time, and nothing. Then they gave me percocets, and tried one and eventually two at a time. Still nothing.
Have fun.
