Fasting after midnight before surgery

My surgery is on Monday (less than 48 hours!). My instructions are to fast starting at midnight before surgery. I was told to drink 10 oz Gatorade 3 hours before surgery. Does fasting include water or can I drink water in the morning? I can’t believe I didn’t ask my doc this question! Thank you!

      Never mind! Just found the instruction deep in my materials… no water!

      Good luck with the surgery come Monday. You will be on the other side before you know it.

    Oh wow it amazes me how different all the surgeons requirements are. My surgeon said nothing after midnight. But it's all clear liquids 24 hr before surgery.
