Ice cream, not Popsicles.
Whoever told you Popsicles was the hidden liar.

No ice cream.
All we got was jello.
42 years later and I still won't eat jello
I do enjoy a good Squirt now and then.

I had mine out many years ago in my mid 30's. It was the week of Thanksgiving. I remember my T day dinner being cranberry sauce. They put stitches in the back of my throat and it hurt to eat anything solid for a couple of months, lost about 30 pounds.

I had mine taken out in my 30's, they did not offer a Popsicle or Ice Cream. When I got home I tried to eat some ice cream and it hurt like heck. Came down with strep throat 3 days after surgery and had to be taken to the ER as my throat swelled almost closed. Tonsils need to be taken out when you are under 10 years of age.

I had mine out and I was given jello.
Worst part was it was 19 years ago almost to the day. I had it done the day before thanksgiving to save leave days.
Terrible watching the family eat turkey and I had a bowl of jello.
My son had his out at 8 years old and he ate a hotdog the next day and never acted like anything hurt him and ate like normal. I was down for 7 days.
neither one of us has had strep since so it was worth it.

I was cheated as a child - I still have my tonsils. God Bless America !  ! Me too.

Back in the early 50s it seemed like having your tonsils and adenoids out were just a part of being a child. Just like having measles and chickenpox.

neither one of us has had strep since so it was worth it. My ex would have strep at least once a year, every year, and be horribly sick. Had her tonsils out in her late 20's and as far as I know has never been sick like that again. I had mine removed at 7 years old. I've never ran a fever or had anything worse than a slight cold since then.

I got ice cream but it hurt like hell... I remember eating eggs and getting stuck in my stitches.
