Well, for about a week you feel so god-awful that you want to die. And you loose about 10-15 pounds from not eating. It sucks. But, when you recover, its all good. Just give it a week.
One more thing, don’t masturbate for a while. It can bust open the wound and make you bleed. Found out the hard way.
the purpose of tonsils is to protect you against bacteria which enter with the food you ingest. i dont think that they affect your weight. the tyroid gland does. maybe you mistook one for the other?
You lose an ounce or 2 from the tonsils and a couple pounds when you can’t eat for a week afterward.
You would probably have less of an appetite. But doesn’t mean you will starting losing weight.
think about it real hard. they are taking something out of your body and not putting it back.
Any weight gain or loss won’t be significant. I would guess that you lose a bit of weight, because you won’t be eating as much food.
you might lose. you cant really eat solid food for a little while.
When I had mine taken out I didn’t want to eat anything, even though I could have all the ice cream and Jello I wanted. I had no appetite for about a week, but still had some Popsicles. Weight loss for me.
i lost three pounds, you cant really eat any real food=[
I was 25 when i took my tonsils out, I had a nasty bug which was being contained by my tonsils. Anyhow heres my story:
I was about 78 kgs and reasonably healthy before problems reoccured
(I mentioned reoccured because you usually have to have a history of throat issues b4 they will remove them during adulthood)
at my worst, i was 70-71 kgs and not looking well
b4 my operation, i was told i must bring my weight back up to 78
so i ate as much as I can and my family force fed me some more
i succeeded in returning to 78
had the operation and even tho i didnt eat much for approximately 2 weeks after surgery, i didnt budge off 78kg. within a month after that, i went straight up 86kg
Turns out my body was using alot of energy fighting this bug for so long, that it didnt know what to do with the normal intake of food (no more forced meals). so i put on weight
not everyone is going to be the same, but hope that helps
Also, stay away from pineapple after surgery. The acidity burns like hell
