Answer: I freshly had a tonsillectomy about 5 weeks ago so I know exactly what you going through. I be a walking saliva factory; I couldn't believe how much saliva one human body could produce.
Remember, you need to stay hydrated. You need to get sure you are drinking enough fluids. I know it is difficult to swallow right now, but trust me, it can be done. Make sure you are taking your agony medications as ordered. If it says to transport them every 4 hours as needed then take them every 4 hours regardless. It is easier to be in charge of the pain before it get out of control than to try to relieve it once it becomes too impossible.
As far as starving, sorry, you're going to have to lately buck up and take it. I know, easier said than done. Trust me, you'll get through it. Each daylight you wake up you will find that it is easier to swallow and hurts just a short time bit less. Before you know it you'll be eating your old-fashioned favorites. Stick with the liquid diet for in a minute and you should be doing just fine..
You could try some diluted jello, but fluids will be the most to expect for a couple more days. I found that as long as I kept my throat moist from drinking, it was easier to swallow. Keep it lubricated, and hold a humidifier going nearby.
I had a big mac attack after my surgery, and have to wait about a week and a partially before I could get it down. I surface your pain.
