I got them removed two years ago. I remember trying to eat a bowl of Kraft dinner the next day, and it took me three hours to do so. Other than that, I was on my regular diet after about a week. The worst pain was the first evening. The surgeon gave me a prescription for percocets, and I think I only used two. Whatever you do, make sure you follow the cleaning instructions rigorously. I know people who didn't that wound up in a world of hurt with nasty infections and stuff like that.
I had mine done Friday morning, and was fine to go back to work on Tuesday. I could have gone Monday, but I took the day off for some insurance. I will say though, the first six hours or so after the surgery was a whole lot of fun, until the laughing gas wore off.
