Every situation vari: It depends on how fast you heal. If you can ovoid getting food trapped in the healing sockets you will heal much faster where you can eat normally. Eat soft foods irrigating with a syringe tip a few days after your surgery if there is a hole to irrigate. Be sure and see your surgeon for a post op visit.

1 day to 1 week: Hard to say in your situation since each extraction is different. People heal at different rates, too.

Depends on procedure: The time can vary a good deal. If the teeth were completely impacted, your healing time could be longer. If they were normally erupted, the healing time could be shorter. The doctor that did the procedure would know the best, would recommend that you contact them as they have first hand knowledge. Generally within a week or two you should be eating almost normally.
