When can I start working out after a tonsillectomy?

Question

I got one about 2 weeks ago. I am able to eat almost normally (it hurts just a bit), and am otherwise feeling pretty good. I feel gross with all the mac n cheese / laying around etc I have been eating and miss going to the gym. When could I go again, and what should I avoid doing?

Answer 1

Check with your Dr., as, your age and health status may be slightly different from mine. A general rule of thumb is 4 to 6 weeeks post operative procedure most activities can be resumed-increase the amount of water that you drink, decrease the amount of soda/pop that you drink, and eat soft foods if your throat hurts.  Speedy recovery.
