I would also see if he/she bans sucking on straws etc. Physiologically this takes much more effort than allowing a milk "let down" to go "down the hatch" so to speak. I would imagine several adults on this list had tonsillectomies and used a straw to drink a shake etc. during recovery phase. This request to not nurse for 2 weeks is absurd.

my immediate thought is:
wouldn't the healing properties of breastmilk be beneficial??
does the surgeon also ban all sucking-bottles, teats, lollypops etc??
I would ask the Dr for his references.
