My partner just got the surgery about 36 hours ago. Since the IV was removed he has had an intake of approximately 30-35oz of liquids. Anything he drinks he begins to burp up in a kind of froth and he has started vomiting a small bit of Water. From the information I've been able to find he should be having 40-64oz of liquid a day even a day after surgery. Is his reaction normal from swelling? Gas? Possibly his band is too tight? There seems to be a lot of similar descriptions for problems and I'm not sure what to be concerned about or what questions to ask. Thanks for any feedback

Well after all is said and done it appears that it was most likely swelling. The next day he was able to get liquids down much easier and he got his full 64oz. No more frothy burps or vomiting. Yay!

ok, Thanks!

Yeah, he has been sipping about a tablespoon amount once every 10-15 minutes and then he starts burping it back fairly soon to immediately after. Not really vomiting, just a frothy burp like when drinking something that's overly carbonated (He's just drinking water and protein shakes). The vomiting occured only 2x so far and it was when he went to lay down.
