My surgery was about 8 am and I was told nothing to eat/drink after 10 pm the night before, except a little bit of water to take any necessary medication. So I would say 10-12 hours prior to your surgery would be safe.

I would do no food past 5 to 6 pm and no liquids past 10 pm. And don't drink like a gallon of water right at 9:59 either! lol. Don't forget when brushing your teeth to not swallow any water or toothpaste.
