This is a good tool to get an estimate of how much you might lose each month

Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
There is no real average and everyone is different, but this is what happens for many people with 100 pounds to lose.
Month 1 - 20 pounds
Month 2-6 - 10 pounds a month
Month 7-12 - 5 pounds a month
It sounds like you are pretty much on track.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
If I parsed your username correctly, I'm guessing you're female. Any chance this could be bad timing where you're in a stall, and also experiencing pre-menstrual or menstrual bloating? Did you eat anything salty yesterday?
Also, are you measuring and tracking everything you eat and drink? I'd double-check the calories on the things you eat or drink most often; one of them might be higher in calories than you thought.
Post a typical day's menu here and we'll see if we can identify any problems.
What does your daily food intake look like? Are you drinking enough fluids? Are you measuring/weighing/tracking everything? Are you positive your calories are only 600?
Some times the weight loss is more like stair stepping. No loss for a week or two and then bam you lose 5lbs.

I honestly didn't really think the guac and hummus were cheating, as they follow the veggie rules. Yes, the cheese may have been a bit of off track. I didn't eat any meat for dinner, I subbed my meat into my lunch (I'm allowed to choose any meal to eat the meat in, as long as I stick to 4 ounces).
And, I promise. I have not eaten a cheeseburger. I feel like I have been very good, but maybe not as good as I thought based on the strong reactions I received.
i think i posted this in the wrong place the first time. New here. ok so Im 2 months out today and i weigh every tues. i get on the scale and gained 3lbs!!!! i have lost 27 in 2 months. im so sad. i dont get it. i follow my plan, get in my protein, lowfat, no sugar, 600 cals and low carb. i switch up my workouts. help im so down about this. thanks yall!!!!
im freaking out y'all!!! i am 2 months out today and gained 3 lbs. i dont understand. i get in all my protein and switch up workouts eating 600 cals low carbs and fat. help!!!!!!!
So...I learned an important lesson. Apparently carrots have a lot of fiber! If you eat a lot of carrots (say, two bags of the baby carrots in 4 days), you just may end up projectile vomiting and pooping like your life depends on it.
My surgeon requires a two week preop diet, which consists of unlimited veggies, 4 oz of meat once a day, 1/2 cup of high fiber starch, and 3 protein shakes a day. I've been dreaming about cheeseburgers like you wouldn't believe. I bought myself some hummus and guac as a treat because I was dying the other day. Today I feel like I am dying in a different way due to my awful night. They brough us in lunch today, and I am having chicken for lunch, with a tiny bit of salad and eggplant parm (no pasta-just the eggplant, sauce and cheese). Hopefully this isn't really a cheat per se. Anyway, thought I'd share. Hope everyone is doing well!
your body isn't rebelling,your brain is.
I would just buy a stainless steel water bottle and have it set somewhere you can get to it after you are out of the OR. "coldes****er bottle" makes a 64oz Water bottle.
