My surgery time was set for 12.05pm on January 24, 2008.
After midnight on January 23rd, 2008 I was told not to eat or drink anything - this included water, chewing gum etc. On that same day before, I made sure I was well hydrated and ate a light, easily digestible meal at dinner. I also snacked on a bagel around 9pm and finished drinking water around 11.30pm.
Considering the events that were going to transpire the next, I got a pretty good nights sleep.
