I had a client who had the same surgery you describe and it took her about 6 weeks to finally feel normal. Take care of yourself and get as much rest as you possibly can – this will help your body heal. You’ll probably feel some residual from the surgery (depending on how sensitive you were to the anesthesia they gave you) for about another month or two.
it depends on what they did- if they took part of your soft palate along with the tonsils, it’ll hurt for 2-3 weeks.
