When to stop eating and drinking before surgery?
In order to minimize the risks associated with anaesthesia, it is generally recommended that you do not eat at least 6 hours before the scheduled surgery and do not drink any liquids at least 4 hours before the surgery.
Practically speaking: if you are scheduled for surgery in the morning or in the first half of the day, please, do not eat after midnight and do not drink any liquids after 3:00am!.If you are scheduled to have an operation in the afternoon, you can have yourself a light breakfast, do not drink or eat anything after that during the day before the surgery. If there are some medications you have to take on the morning before the surgery, it is permitted to take them with a small amount of water.
