can slow down and complicate post-op recov-
ery, says Dr. Gan.
He suggests giving patients 2 bottles of pre-
surgery nutrition drinks at pre-op screenings
in the clinic, where you can educate patients
about why fluids before surgery are beneficial
and how to comply with the directives. At
Stony Brook University Hospital, they instruct
patients to drink 1 300-ml bottle of a complex
carbohydrate drink the night before surgery
and a second 300-ml bottle the next morning
at least 2 hours before their scheduled proce-
dure.

Thirst is a powerful
primitive drive.
It can be physically
painful not to drink.
