The doctor last week said I was healing better than expected and no more surgery! yeah.

He also said i'd be 80% better 6 weeks post surgery ... we'll i'm just over half way there and feeling at least that good if not better. My throat only hurts when I yawn, and when I eat really dry scratchy food like dry toast. Otherwise no pain and i can eat what ever I like.

So even though the week after was hell and the week after that wasn't much better, i recommend getting your tonsils out if you have recurrent tonsillitis. Worked for me :)
