I had mine out about 7 months ago, plus a uvulapalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP - reshaping the soft palate) at the same time.

I was on intravenous painkillers in the hospital so it didn't really hit until I got home. It's the most painful thing ever, can't even drink a damn glass of water... I couldn't eat anything for about 10 days, and only then lukewarm tinned spaghetti (mush) flushed down with a lot of cold milk. I lost a heap of weight too.

The best bit was that the painkiller tablets lasted about 4 hours, but you could only have them every 6 hours max. After a few days it's like they stopped working altogether.

Anyway good that you've been out for a week, the worst of it is probably over by now.
