Four weeks. I have Crohn's disease and had perforated my bowel roughly 15 years ago. I wasn't allowed anything by mouth and was on a saline drip for 3 weeks. After my surgery I was on TPN for another week before I was allowed to eat anything. I went from 185lbs to 130lbs and it took about 6 months to get back up to 160lbs.
