intake.
Currently it is not known which dietary recommendations are best to help patients recover
after a tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy. Traditional standard of care is to recommend that
patients be restricted to a soft diet post-operatively. However, the investigators believe
that there may be benefit in allowing patients to eat a restriction-free diet. In this study,
the investigators will compare the current standard of care verse a non-restricted diet. The
purpose of this study is to determine how diet after tonsil/adenoid surgery affects bleeding,
