gradual return to a normal food intake
I'm by no means an expert here, but it seems to me that the writer is referring to the patient's gradual return to a normal intake of food, whether through a tube or by mouth, during the first 24 hours after their operation.
"Aufbau" indicates that first a little nourishment is given and then the amount is gradually increased over the 24-hour period.

return to regular food
There are other ways to say it, but basically, the sentence is saying that if the patient was taking food by mouth or enterally (e.g., through a stomach tube), then the patient should be taking the same solid food (or liquid nutrition in the case of the stomach tube) again within 24 hours after surgery.
