Hi, liver transplant recipients, does anyone know whether you had to fast from food or water before a routine annual abdominal ultrasound?
I’m scheduled for one and don’ t remember what I did last year. The only instruction that I see related to eating beforehand is that you might need to avoid eating and that it depends on the area being scanned. My appointment is not until 1 PM during my annual visit.
What were you instructed to do?

I'm due for an ultrasound in about 6 weeks, the lab orders say to stop eating solid food 6 hours before the procedure, but I can continue to drink water, clear tea or black coffee (no creamer or milk) up until the procedure.
