I am 3 weeks post surgery and also now feel really good. I had a rough first week and also felt like why did i do something this drastic. But that has changed now and I feel pleased with my decision.
Since I have been on mushies my appetite has really increased and I am definitely craving food now. My sense of smell and taste seems to have intensified as well. When I smell certain foods I really fancy them.
I am eating around 800 -900 calories a day which I think is the reason the weight loss is slower as it affects our metabolism, and this almost needs a kick start.
I too want to constantly weigh myself but I am now doing weekly weigh ins as it was becoming an obsession. Our weights vary so much from day to day anyway.
Good Luck on your journey

I will have lap band surgery the 19th. My biggest fear is exactly what you are saying about the scale not showing you what you feel it should at the point you are now. It is hard not to get anxious about seeing the pounds you have struggled to get off go quickly!! I am also afraid that I won't be able to eat some of the foods I also enjoyed... salads, and a good steak!! Also how to conquer the head hunger!! I wish you all the luck!!
