Can i stop breathing before unconsciousness after being given propofol for surgery?

Not very likely.: Usually unconsciousness occurs well before apnea.

Anaesthesia : No, you continue to breathe during induction of anaesthesia until intubation and assisted breathing

Propafol: I think you will not notice your breathing while you are getting the propafol. The sedative effects of the drug will make you feel comfortable. You do not need to worry provided someone is monitoring your vitals signs and breathing for you should your respirations cease.
