Regrets? Need reassurance

Hello everyone,

I am having a rough week and an questioning whether I did the right thing having RNY.  I feel nauseated, vomited twice last night, and have no energy.  I am five weeks out and I thought this would be over my now!  I wanted dry toast this morning, must be a childhood comfort thing but I didn't.  I got down a little yogurt and later, some sting cheese.  I just don't feel good.  Is this normal or not?  Should I call the MD?  I have kept everything down today but I don't want to eat because I am afraid I will not keep it down.

Thank you you for listening to me whine.

Dont worry about the whining. We all have been there or will be there soon. How is the water going? Are you getting that in? I felt very bad after my surgery and we came to the conclusion that I was not getting enough water. So sip,sip,sip. Everyday is going to be different, you will have good ones and bad ones. The energy will come, just take the time to heal yourself. This is not easy, if it was everyone would have surgery.  I just had to keep telling myself, "tommorow will be better, tommorow will be better". And you know what? Tommorow does get better.

I never regretted this surgery, but i did think..what did I do to myself.. which is a normal process of the phases we got through on this new life we chose for ourselves. 
Are you sipping slowly? and chewing and eating slowly.. cause that will help.. and do not stop eating cause of fears, just take your baby steps, it will smooth over soon..
 however.. do not think any small worry is a waste to call your Dr, if you are concerned about anything..call them.. thats what they are there for.. ..
are you writing down everything your putting in your pouch? it helps to narrow down the things that your body is not agreeing to and what you ate just before getting sick.. I only got sick 1xs so far.. I got distracted eating a xmas dinner with my church and didnt chew my turkey all way and a piece snuck down.. well.. it found its way back out ..lol.. but.. only time it ever happened.. I been so careful to chew and small bites at time.. I take a bite..wait.. see how it felt.. took another.. waited.. and so on.. I would take 35 mins eating .. which is normal.. sometimes I took 1 hour.. because I was unsure of a food.. but i got through it..
No problem for you to come and whine, we are here for that too.. :)

OMG!  I could have written this post myself!  I am also 5 weeks post op and am feeling the same way.  I want my "Honeymoon Period"  everyone talks about.   I know I am no help but it sure helped me to hear someone else is feeling the same way.
