Ask your dentist.: Every surgeon and every surgery are different, so the exact length of time for resuming a full diet is different. I would ask your dentist how long you need to wait. You'll be eating stuff again soon! Good luck.

Follow directions.: Many people are fine to resume normal after a few days. It depends on the extent of the surgery and effective wound closure (for your teeth in particular), your immune system, rate of healing, and what you mean by normal foods. Discuss with your surgeon any question prior to your surgery so you can plan to follow post-op instructions closely and heal faster and better.
