Your surgeons diet is quite different from mine and given the strong reactions to your post I assume most folks here followed a similar diet as myself. I was allowed four SlimTime shakes per day plus unlimited clear broth, SF popsicles, SF jello, black tea or coffee and water. Nothing else.
FYI hummus and guacamole may be classed as a vegetable but both are higher in fat and calories than most other vegetables. Perhaps check in with your surgeon's office to confirm whether or not hummus, guacamole or cheese are allowed?
This phase is temporary. It wont be long and you will have to be careful not to overeat.

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.
