<human>: My husband is having surgery for a double hernia tomorrow at 7:30 am. He has had one of the worst days of his life scrambling all day trying to accomplish integral computer tasks. It is now almost 9 pm and he is thinking about eating a slice or two of pizza at a friends where they are completing the task. I told him he is nuts and not to do it. Can he have some broth or something instead? Pizza seems the worst thing to eat at this time.
<bot>: Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. You can eat anything, 6-8 hours before not ho have anything orally even water.2. This is to avoid vomiting and aspiration in to the lungs is possible complications.3. Comming to pizza/burger it all depends, it's always better to avoid out size food.4. Let him have some salads and fruits.5. Avoid taking anything 6-8 hrs before surgery. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
