Day 8 it finally got better

Longest week of my life. My throat just feels sore like when you’re about to get sick and it feels raw every time you swallow. There’s some scabbing still but for the most part almost all the scabbing is gone. I just want lemonade so bad but I fear it’ll burn lol but to all the soda drinkers have you stopped since the surgery? Or have you drank soda these past recovery days
