Going under the knife tomorrow.

Good to see your ok but thats a hard way to lose a few pounds.

Yea jello , soup, and water diet!

As you have probly figured out, staying/sleeping in a more upright position is about the only way sleep will work. The sooner you can cough out that mung the better, but don't rush it. Fluids (hot if possible) and cupping/clapping on your back will help thin it & bring it up. If you can't cough/spit yet, just let it dribble out. It gets better day by day.

The loose feeling skin in the back of my throat mixed with mucus covering it and me havein to clear my throat suck

Granted mine (tonsils only) were done in the 1990's & it looked like he used a blow torch, I couldn't open my mouth much or swallow anything for about 3 days. The more fluids you can take in, the better & quicker healing. There's nothing wrong with a soft food thanksgiving. I've had a few clear liquids holidays & survived.

Yea i keep cold liquids and soups going in. Jello is the best but the paid is the worse its been right now.
