Tonsillectomy

Hi everyone,

Next Tuesday I’m having my tonsils removed, and I’m honestly SO nervous. I’m not really anxious about the surgery itself, but I am very worried about the recovery. I’ve heard it can be quite painful, especially for adults.

What’s stressing me out the most, though, is that my doctor told me I’m not allowed to exercise for three weeks. 😭 As someone who loves working out (especially with Fitness Blender!), that feels like such a long time.

Has anyone here gone through a tonsillectomy as an adult? I’d really appreciate hearing about your recovery experience! How painful it was, how long it took to feel normal again, and espcially how you approached getting back into exercise afterwards.

Thank you so much in advance for sharing. It really helps to hear real experiences.

Love,

Laura
