I am a month post op today and I feel like total crap!

Food makes me feel sick. Water and liquids make me feel sick too. Everytime I eat or drink, my stomach tosses and turns. I don't throw up, but feel like it is going to happen. Also, how do I take my anti-depressants without them getting stuck (I take two 20mg Prozac)sould I take them like an hour apart so they can go down without a problem? I also have an incisional leak which has opened in a second place on my incision. I have been to my surgeon who says don't worry it is normal and to my doctor who took a culture and put me on antibiotics just in case. But my problem is that my incision still HURTS so much with these two openings. My surgeon is telling me to work through the pain and do more everyday, but I don't have the energy or strenght to do much more( I clean my house and take care of my four kids and cook.) Will I ever be able to eat and drink without feeling sick? Will I ever have my energy back? Right now I am sorry that I had this surgery done. Any suggestions or words of wisdom to share?
