The process for your admission to hospital will depend upon which hospital your procedure has been booked for.

The hospital you have been scheduled to have your surgery at will usually contact you the day prior to inform you of your admission time. Fasting times will also be advised. In general, fasting times are as follows:
If you have had bowel preparation i.e. if you are having a colonoscopy or bowel surgery, you may drink clear liquids up until 2 hours before your time of admission to hospital.
For all other procedures, no solid foods for 6 hours before your time of admission. You may continue drinking clear fluids up until 2 hours before your time of admission to hospital.
