Please help-How long after surgery should I expect to feel so bad?

I had an open proximal rny on 2/1/00, I am nearly two weeks post-op, I am very tired since I can't sleep, I am nauseous all the time, I still have some incisional pain and wound oozing (my staples won't come out until 2/14/00). I can't walk around too much without feeling like I'm either going to pass out or my insides are going to fall out! I'm doing everything the doc has told me to do, before surgery I was a strong 28 year old women and now I'm worried that I may live my life feeling horrible forever. I know it's early but I'm really scared, I'm set to return to work in about two weeks, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it. Can anyone please tell me about how long it took for you to start feeling normal, normal enough to go to the grocery store or talk a walk outside? Please help....
