How do I prepare for same day surgery?

Follow instructions about not eating or drinking. You may be told not to eat or drink after the midnight before your surgery. Sometimes you can drink clear liquids up until 2 hours before your operation. If your surgeon told you to take any medicine on the day of surgery, take it with a small sip of water.

Eat a light breakfast, such as a piece of toast or a small bowl of cereal before 7am on the day of surgery. Do not eat, chew gum or drink milk or fresh juices after 7am. After 7am, you can drink the following until two hours before your admission time: water diluted squash black tea or coffee.

Typically, you will need to take a shower with a special antiseptic soap, wear clean clothes, and stop eating and drinking at midnight the night before your surgery.
