Yes, you do not want food in your belly before surgery (any kind of surgery). You have made it this far and after surgery you won't be wanting it... So please stay strong. This too shall pass and you will do much better for surgery.

Usually its NPO from midnight the day of surgery.

NPO nothing to eat or drink

stay strong you well do great.

I know I can't have any good in my stomach before surgery and that its no food or liquid after midnight tomorrow I was just wondering about today...I'm going to stay strong I've come this far!!

I ate two days before. A giant sandwich. My liver was perfect. Its your body. I don't regret it.

Thanks for the reassurance!! I did have a nice dinner with my husband and daughter last night. It was very healthy though and I enjoyed every minute and every bite!! I don't regret it either!!! ;)
