Depends on what procedure you had done. If it is an outpatient, the recommendation is to start with clear liquids, then, if no problem, I recommend soft food and, if no issue after an hour, eat what you want.
Can you be sedated for a CT scan?
Yes, but CT scans are so fast nowadays that with headphones, music, and movies, one can get the scan done quickly.

As a teenager, after anesthesia, I would recommend to start out with clear liquids that you should get in the post recovery room. Then, once you get home, no matter how hungry you are, you should start out with a "breakfast" meal - eggs, waffles, cereal (easier on the stomach). If no issues with the "breakfast meal," then in an hour or two, you can eat whatever you want.

Why does it take so long to wake up from anesthesia?

Teenagers love to sleep anyway. Surgery can be very stressful on anyone. Teenagers tend to overthink things, read about anesthesia, hear stories about others with anesthesia, and worry. You all act calm, but on the inside are worried about, will I wake up or not in the middle or the end, will things go okay, etc. So, when you are out of anesthesia, you get what I call the "let down response," which is that you are glad that all went well, you are relieved and just sleep because you most likely did not get good sleep up to a week before the procedure, and had been stressed about the procedure and anesthesia. Depending on the case, you will get some narcotic/painkillers that will relax you as well.

It depends if it is a dry or wet cough and the frequency. If wet, it is best to wait 2-3 weeks after cough gone to have anesthesia. If a child is for ear tube, these children rarely get better until their ears are taken care of, so if the child is afebrile with a cough (no bronchitis or pneumonia), it will get done.
Can anesthesia stay in your system for months?

Absolutely not. What puts you asleep is usually IV medications or gas. Theses keep you asleep in the majority of cases. If gas is used to keep you asleep, upon awakening, you expel the gas and it is out of your system within 2 hours. The IV infusions that may be used also are out of your system within a few hours.
