Preparing for surgery
What can I eat before surgery?If you are having colon surgery or colonoscopy, you must remain on clear liquids for the 24 hours before surgery. For most other procedures, you may eat as you please. You must take no food or water after midnight on the day of your procedure. The morning of the procedure, only take the medicines which we have recommended with a small sip of water. If you eat or drink on the day of surgery, your operation may be canceled and have to be rescheduled for another day.
