There had to be a reason for that. Medical or...otherwise.
My last surgery was roughly 25 years ago (not counting having my four wisdom teeth out 20 years ago). The rule was no solid food for 24 hrs, but by that night I was famished and got out of bed and raided the fridge in back of the nursing station when the nurses were all busy charting. ha ha
The guy in the bed across from me had his tonsils out, he followed me and we ate sandwiches and drank chocolate milks until we were caught. The nurse just laughed and said "don't go ringing the call bell if you start barfing later"
I was fine.
