A little update for everyone. My throat is finally starting to feel a bit better. Right now it is just like a really bad sore throat. I think I should be back to normal within a week. Hopefully it won't be long after that and I can get back to smoking.

You're right on schedule Brad! It was 10 days for me too. How many popsicles did you eat?

I didn't eat a single popsicle. I've never really liked the things to be honest.
For the first few days all I did was eat ice cream. The only problem was that I just couldn't get full. I was so incredible hungry. So, after a few days I started eating a lot of crab stew and lobster bisque. Then about 6 days in I just got sick of all of those things and decided I would try eat more normal food like well cooked pasta, mashed potatoes, etc. Unfortunately I really wasn't ready for those foods, and I ended up making 6 or 7 meals a day that I would eat a few bites of and then give up because it hurt so much. My kitchen looked like a disaster area. Yesterday was the first day I could actually eat nearly a full meal of softer food. I think I ended up losing about 4 lbs. If only the whole thing would have lasted a couple of months, I could have met my weight loss goals!

Must be you were able to eat more that I did, I lost 10 lbs in 10 days. I actually ate baby food I was so hungry. Dr. gave me demoral pills, tiny things but still hard for me to swallow. They made me feel better, but I was still ravenously hungry!
