Is it normal to want to sleep all day?

I'm 6 days post op from LAP RNY. I still have this gross drain, and I'm still having trouble sleeping, I'm still uncomfortable. The pain isnt unbearable, but OMG I just feel like a zoombie!I'm normally perky and raring to go, and all I do now is cry because i cant do what I feel like I'd WANT to be doing. Like I've lost ME! It's hard to get comfortable sitting, laying down, walking does help but then I dont have the energy to walk all day long. My tummy feels kind of swollen, and hurts to take a deep breath. Even eating and drinking hurts, and all i do is burp like a man afterwards.Also when I DO go potty, its constant diarrhea.(Maybe because of the full liquid diet?) UGH!I just feel soooo GROSS! Will this EVER get better, or have I made the biggest mistake of my life? I AM drinking fluids , 65 oz+, and a full liquid diet(some cream/blended soups,yogurt, jello, protein drinks. crystal light, water and SF pudding), taking all my vitamins and walking some. I guess I thought that because I had a LAP and am trying to do all the right things, I would be feeling fairly normal right now. At least that is how it seemed to go with others :( I do realize it's still major surgery but with LAP isnt the healing time net to nothing most of the time?Why do *I* feel so awful? Heck, I even look terrrible! Dark circles under my eyes already :( Any suggestions? I'm pretty lost
