Yes you should be empty stomach. Plus with full bladder means should have pretty high pressure of urine. you can consume liquids.

Ultrasound abdomen is best done when the gall-bladder is fully distended(No fatty foods and/or fasting for 4hours). Also urinary bladder must be full, drink 2-3glasses of water and wait till you feel sensation of passing urine. If you are having severe pain or vomiting inform your doctor/nurse, so that scan can be done in emergency even without fasting or drinking water(diagnostic quality will decrease however)
