I've never eaten anything specific the night before surgery...just what I would normally eat. I've never had a bad reaction to anaesthesia either so I may not be the best person to answer this question.

I do know the night before my axillary dissection I ate my meal late, around 10:00 p.m. because my surgery wasn't until 2:00 p.m. and not being able to have anything from midnight I thought I was being very smart. Not so...I had the worst indigestion by the time I had surgery!! So I learned that lesson...eat my regular meal at around 6:00 p.m. and a light snack and something to drink around bedtime. I'll be interested to check back and see if anyone else has done something specific with food the night before surgery.
