post op low energy and out of breath

I am just 9 days post op and am having trouble getting my water down. It feels like it is getting a bubble stuck. So with this I don't know if I am not getting energy and getting out of breath when I exert myself. Has any one had this same or close problems?

I had my surgery on March 23,2003 water was and still a problem for me but I can drink tea. My dr. informed me any kind of liquid is fine

I had my surgery on May 22nd and still don't have a lot of energy. I do get out of breath and really start to sweat when I exert myself but every day does get better. I have problems with water as well. I think some of the symptoms may be from dehydration.
