Are there any food restrictions after anesthesia?
It depends upon what the surgical procedure was - in any event one can start with clear liquids and if swallowing is back to baseline one may progress to softer foods and then to a normal diet - the key is that the swallowing mechanism needs to be back to normal and there should be no nausea or vomiting.

Chance of serious complication from anesthesia?
The chances for a serious complication will depend upon your state of health, i.e., your comorbidities. Also, make sure that your anesthesia care is provided by a trained and experienced and licensed anesthesiologist with all the required monitoring and available drugs and equipment. In most instances, anesthesia is safe.
