Stop eating and drinking night before surgery

[april042019 105]

Hello!

I just had a question about eating and drinking before the surgery. My surgery is tomorrow morning 04/04 and my doctor said not to eat or drink anything after 10 pm. It's almost 10 right now and I ate about 4 hours ago and just drank a bottle of Water but I feel like my stomach is full. I'm worried there'll still be some food or water in my stomach and intestines when they do the surgery. Is that possible? It just seems unreal that it could really completely empty out by 5 am...

Very important to get a good sleep to help body digest

I was also told to stop eating the night before, but they allowed me to have Water until 5 am! You’ll be just fine!

If the cut off was 10pm then i'm sure it's fine.

I'm also having my surgery today and I can drink Clear Liquids until I get to the hospital at 10:30 then no more drinking once I get there. My surgery is at 12:30. I guess all the liquids are all digested within that 2 hour period so you should be fine. Good luck with your surgery!
