Why shouldn’t I eat after midnight?
These restrictions are very important for your safety when you undergo anesthesia. If you do not follow these restrictions, your surgery could be cancelled. After midnight the night before your surgery, please do not consume the following:
-
Food of any type, including hard candy, cough drops, and mints
-
Beverages, including coffee, water, and soda
-
Gum
Can I chew gum or suck on a hard candy the morning of surgery?
No. Chewing gum or sucking on a hard candy will stimulate the stomach to produce gastric contents and this will put you at risk for aspiration.

Yes, you can eat unless your doctor states otherwise. You will be served a small snack before you are discharged.

Yes. You should shower with an antibacterial soap the morning of surgery. Please brush your teeth, but do not swallow any water or toothpaste. You may also rinse your mouth.
