 I dont think you are doing anything wrong.  You are only 12days out and eating your first solids in a while.  
One of the things I have heard is not to weigh yourself every day.. 

Your body is still healing.  There is the trauma from the surgery, water weight... many diffferent reason for a fluctuation of 1 lb... 
One thing also could be retaining water from salt.. V8 is pretty high in sodium..
Work on getting all your protein and water in... Dont worry..

Stick with your doctors plan...You are doing great!!!!!!

Nothing is wrong I ended up gaining almost 7 pounds from week three to week six. Just like the poster above said it's many reasons. And she is right don't weigh yourself everyday. Pick one day and weigh yourself. I can weigh myself on a Friday be down two pounds weigh in again on sat and be up four. Sodium , heat, TOM all those play a huge factor.

Ok first of all you need to hide that scale.  You will fluctuate...no one stays one consistant weight, not even skinny people.  When you first switch over to purees and then when you switch to solid foods there will be some weight gain experienced by some people.  As long as you stick to the rules and eat healthy and stay active the weight will eventually fall off.  Right now your body is still recovering from the trauma of surgery.  Don't panic.

Friday morning I weighed 177, This morning 180.  Last week I was 185.  Flucuations happen.

I go more by measurements (done monthly) and how my clothes are fitting.

You're at the beginning of this journey, relax a bit.  It will work if you follow your doctors guidelines most of the time.

 What are you doing wrong?

NOTHING  
You just need to relax, be kind to yourself, and wait a bit. You didn't get obese overnight and you can't return to "normal" overnight, either.

And putting that scale away is a good but hard thing to do.  Especially when you seriously lose daily in the beginning.  But you will be glad you did.
