It somewhat depends if you had an open or laparoscopic surgery. Your bowel function returns faster with the latter. As soon as your bowel sound is present and you pass gas, you will be started on liquid diet, usually one day post op. If you tolerate well (no nausea or vomit), the diet will be advanced and you usually can resume your normal foods in day 3.
