Hi Diana, First and foremost let me say I'm 35 and had my Tonsils taken out in Oct. 2003.I too had the Cobilation process.After reading all these post I was scared to death! Well I can honestly say it was a breeze!I didn't even need to take any perscription pain meds. Tylenol was all I needed.I ate jello,pudding,icepops,applesauce,potatoes,anything I liked that was soft.Had no problems.Within 5 days I was eating everything normaly with no problem.I also recomend drink lots of really cold water.It numbs it.Take Care and relax.It can only be as bad as you make it.
