Am I jeopardizing my surgery by drinking fluids right up until I start eating?

I have a hard time not drinking anything just before I start eating. I don't drink during the meal except for an occassional sip to wet my mouth but I feel the need to drink water right up until I put the first bite of food in my mouth.
