Doing my best....

 So I had my RNY on Wed. 3 day ago.  I guess I'm doing fine but don't really know.  It seems everything is subjective with WLS.  You decide for yourself.
1.   Urine output is good
2.   I do pass gas
3.   Have had 2 BM's
4.   Am not running any fever
5.   Can sleep in my own bed
6.   Have been walking but not as much as I thought that I would have
7.   I have to make myself eat
8.   I have to make myself drink
9.   I almost constantly feel nauseous but have not thrown up
10. Don't really have much pain
11. I feel like I'm getting over a bad case of intestinal flu
12. I'm trying to get in all my protein, vitamins, and supplements

How was it for you guys?  Did you feel like this at first?

sounds normal...I felt like crap for while..most important ...drink, sip ,sip...its hard thou...I was wondering if I did the right thang but ...that passes..and its great..now

Totally normal!  Hang in there.  Be sure to sip constantly so you don't dehydrate.  It is normal to struggle with getting in your protein and vitamins at first.  You're doing good!

Duane, I agree with Christie, focus on the fluids. While the protein and vitamins are important, it's most important very early out to avoid dehydration (I was hospitalized twice for it). I was also told by my NUT at the time to forget about the protein until I was getting in my fluid intake, so that's what I did.

Sounds like you are doing great. Hang in there! And keep coming here for support.

Duane, your doing great.  It is exactly what I was doing a month ago.  Like everyone says, focus on fluids.  I was not able to eat much at that point and still dont ever feel hungry  or full for that matter.  Everyday gets better, I am one month out yesterday and can honestly say Im glad I did it!  I have my energy back now too!  Feeling normal, what ever normal is!!! LOL  Hang in there it does get better!!  Dawn

Actually Duane, I had to kind of giggle at your post, as #2 on your list is "I do pass gas".

If the gas is bad enough to clear out the aisle at your local Wal Mart, then you know you are doing just fine! 

As I live in a house full of guys, I consider mine to be self defense!  Lately, I've been winning.....

Ditto! I can still outd do the guys at 41/2 years out.
