Only 4 weeks out, feeling down on myself...

I had surgery 4 weeks ago today, and have a couple of issues. I cannot bring myself to puree something like a hamburger or whatever, so I eat soft things and chew forever. I know that is a no-no, but I just can't bring myself to throw food in a blender. I feel like I'm already failing! Also, since I've gone back to work this week, it's been alot easier to get in the small meals and water I'm supposed to, but I also have been gaining and losing the same 3 pounds since last Friday! Is that normal this early? I feel like I'm eating so much, even though I get really full if I eat a half a baked potato...Help! Would keeping a food log help me feel more in control? I just feel like this is it, I've lost my 35-39 pounds, and I'm going to go back to eating like a pig. Do I sound normal, or totally paranoid? My husband is a great suppport, but he just can't understand these feelings.
