RETURNING acts as a SELECT statement and changes ROW_COUNT()

Question

I am trying to ensure only the precise numbers of rows are updated/inserted during a transaction by using ROW_COUNT(), however i also need to know the id of the row changed in certain circumstances.
e.g:

>>> INSERT INTO TABLE (name,drink,food) VALUES ('Jack', 'Coke', 'Pizza');
>>> SELECT ROW_COUNT();
>>> ROW_COUNT | 1

>>> INSERT INTO TABLE (name,drink,food) VALUES ('Jill', 'Pepsi', 'Hotdog') RETURNING id;
>>> ID | 25
>>> SELECT ROW_COUNT();
>>> ROW_COUNT | -1

Is there a way I can check ROW_COUNT() before returning the id or keep the ROW_COUNT() correct after the RETURNING statement ?
