Fast last night.

My question is how much water are you allowed to drink?

the thought of no breakfast tomorrow puts me in a panic or coffee, how will I even get dressed, lol?
 

You can drink as much water as you like; but not flavoured.
you can drink black coffee, no sugar, I asked last time!
 
Drinking a glass of water is recommended, otherwise it's a bit hard to get the blood out.
Coffee is a no no, as is any other kind of stimulant.
 

I always have a sip of water, but was only told very little water, and no coffee beforehand.
 
Can I drink more than a glass...my bloodwork is at 8am so I have to fast starting tonight at 8:00 pm...I will want some water tonight and probably when I wake up during the night I always take a few sips and then of course in the morning.
 
Well there you are; you can obviously do any thing you like! Quantity of water is not really a problem.....

Water in reasonable amounts is not a problem.
For other things it probably depends on the particular tests that have been ordered.

They usually say take your usual medications.
 
Re: In and out surgical procedures the order is nothing after midnight; absotivily NOTHING..N_O_T_H_I_N_G ! Or you'll be sent home and must schedule another day.

(Ceecee, I know yours is not surgery, but just a test. Do whatever they tell you. It's not going to kill you.)
