Adult Tonsillectomy

[Urmas]

What? No lactose free ice cream available?

 

[Becky]

Well I could make some using lactose free cream He's actually been preferring more solid foods - makes his throat feel better apparently!

 

[Ian]

Yeah, eating sandwiches feels much better - seems to scrape all of the crud at the back of the throat away. TBH, I quite fancy a cheeseburger.

This big enough, Ian?

Keep you going for a day or two.

Got my tonsils out yesterday, hurrah! The pain isn't too bad at the moment, but I've got a huge stack of painkillers to get me though .

All the very best to you @Ian! I hope the recovery process will prove to be speedy for you.

Sadly he's lactose intolerant - or 'lactarded' as we like to call it

Oh my goodness! Thoughts of going without my daily ice cream "fix" are too traumatising to contemplate!

Perhaps there would be something here, to help cool a post-op throat? According to the review, although they are non-dairy, they actually don't taste "...like they came out the wrong end of a cow..." as some do. (Think I quite fancy giving the Ben & Jerry's a try... er, just in the interests of research, of course. )

Thanks TC . We've got some dairy free ice-cream in (which is ok), but to be honest it just isn't the same as some Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough or the Peanut Cup one - so every so often I just eat it anyway, as I don't feel too bad afterwards .

Oddly, the thought of having ice cream or mash potato doesn't really appeal - whenever I've had solid food I've felt much better. I'm waiting to hit the brick wall in a few days when I regret saying that .

Hope all goes well for you Ian and you do not starve along the way.
