hi i had mine removed and lost lots of weight but but it back on afterwards,although ice will ease the pain it will not do you're healing process any good at all,you must try to eat rough foods toast etc etc it knocks the scabs that will form in you're throat off and quicken the healing up ,I'm being very honest here it hurts like mad after and you will want to cry all day and night ,get some good painkillers and keep off icy things trust me it wont do you any favors,and watch out if you're throat starts to bleed ,go immediately to the hospital,not trying to frighten you ,but you need to be prepared for whats coming,and then its goodbye tonsillitis forever,good luck.

People in general may lose up to 5 pounds initially, but then quickly gain it back after their appetite comes back. You should be able to talk when you wake up from surgery, but it will be more like a whisper, and you really should rest your throat for at least 24 hours.
