Me too. When I am getting ready to go out and maybe picking up a few things I also have increased shortness of breath. I think bending is compressing the diaphragm, lower lungs. That is what my Pulmonologist said too.
Have you done a pulmonary function test since your lobectomy?
Do your CT scan reports indicate any other issues with your lungs?

Pulmonary function seems acceptable, but to be fair it doesn’t evaluate under any stress conditions. CT didn’t comment on anything remarkable , though it was really screening for repeat lesions. But presumably everything anatomical made sense.
