A member asked:

Not long,: depending on your progress. Your doctor will probably advance your diet to include all foods by next week assuming you are progressing without complication.

Today: I have been taking out appendices for over 25 yrs and I've never had a patient have a problem eating salads or any other raw foods afterwards.
