Yes, it is bad if you eat before surgery.

You should have been asked not to eat 8 - 12 hours prior to your surgery. If you are going under <span>anesthesia</span>, the <span>anesthesia </span>paralyzes your entire body, and if you have ate, you might vomit which will cause difficulty breathing or even in some cases, death. If you are having surgery somewhere on your lower stomach, eating before the surgery may lead to infection. Overall, they want you to not eat for 8 - 12 hours prior to surgery only for safety. I wouldn't even drink water, because if you are put under anesthesia, there is an increased risk of vomiting.

Yes it is not good to eat anything before you have surgery because it can cause you to throw up and if that happens you can choke on it.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

D. All the above

Explanation:

It's all of the above because a goal is or isn't planned, it is a dream you want to achieve, and it is a desire to do anything for. Now if that's wrong then the answer is between B and C because most would say that a goal is something that you want to plan for weather than it being a surprise.
