From my understanding the pouch test is to shrink your pouch.. for people who feel they may have stretched their pouch over time by over-eatting. This should not be a problem for you at this point. I would just follow the guidelines your Dr gave you this early on and get used to your new lapband.

you know when your dr says everything is going on fine

and i still look to the scale daily anxious

and if i gained 100 grams or smthg i sit blaming myself

i think i am just too worried

Don't torture yourself with the scale...it's a bad habit to get into. You are still healing from surgery and won't have proper restriction for several fills. Now is the time to focus on learning the lapband rules and getting used to this new lifestyle. If you follow the guidelines and journal what you are eatting you WILL start to lose weight. If you begin obsessing about the number on the scale now...you will make your journey much harder than it should be.
