eating before surgery

Just checking when we are supposed to stop eating, my admission has been changed tomorrow from 1 to 10 and I cant remember the cut off point.. x

Hey, on the mya sheets it said you should not eat at least 6 hours before your op. I just stopped eating the night before. Xx

Ahhh okay thank you:) yeah they just rang to say haha I was just checking it wasn’t like now as im starving haha xx

6 hours for food, 2 hours for water. Make sure you try and eat something ligh just before your cutoff time as there could be a delay in you going down to theatre and you will need something…. Its detrimental to patients recovery to starve too long. Good luck for your op and let us all know how you get on. x

Yeah im not good under normal circumstances when im hungry as it is haha. Thanks so much, its been such a help having all the support and I will defiantly be keeping updates with pictures and how im get on. Aaaa so excited/scared xx
