I (20M) got my surgery on 5/5 and I’m very lucky to say I’m almost fully recovered. Almost everything has completely gone back to normal now. I’m not taking any pain meds anymore, my scabs are practically gone and I can eat pretty much whatever I want now. Today is my 3rd day back in the gym and doing cardio and I feel great. My sleep is so much better than before the surgery and I can breathe great. My uvula and face are still a bit inflamed and talking still feels a bit weird, but both of those have gotten better each day. I was extremely scared going into this surgery but I’m so glad everything worked out fine. I’m going to a concert on Friday and hopefully I’m 100% by then.

Im (20M) on day 3 of my recovery and it’s been pretty light so far. Yesterday I ate 5 scrambled eggs, a few protein shakes and half a pound of ground beef with some bread. Today I’ve had a few eggs, some fruits and toast. Also drank a ton of water both days. It’s a little uncomfortable, but not particularly that painful. I’m also not taking many pain meds, other than a Tylenol or Advil every ~8 hours or so.

Waking up in the morning has had the worst pain at about a (3/10), but after I take a Tylenol I feel much better and just a little tired/weak.

However, my uvula is swollen so bad that it’s literally resting on my tongue. Doesn’t hurt though just feels weird.

Is all the eating that I’m doing slowing down my recovery? Should I stop?
