It is very normal, you're taking in very few calories, and are likely at least a little dehydrated even if you're able to tolerate fluids well.
However, be cautious and if you're also having any sharp pains in your lungs call your doctor, as there is also a slight risk for clots in the lungs following any surgery.

Nope. It's normal you aren't exactly getting in a ton of calories

I had the same symptoms on day 4 and 5. But it got better the more I moved around. Just be sure u get plenty of fluids. It is also a sign of dehydration.

I'm 8 days out and find it's the salt that I'm craving today. Only broth that seems to pass the taste test is the packets in top ramen but divided over 3 - half cups of Water. No noodles, just the broth and my salt fix is happy.

Good Morning ☀️ I was sleeved yesterday (12/21/16) so far no real issues. I'm feeling a little weak... probably from the liquid pain medicine...It's disgusting n I can't take it all at once. Sipping cold Water and crunching on ice chips. What else can I have??? My nurse said Clear liquids until one week post op... however I thought I could have the Protein shakes...
