I'm now 3 months to the day that I started my pre-op diet for VSG. I kept really detailed weight records and have a good chart showing exactly when and how the changes came. I thought I'd post it for anyone who wants to know what the first three months might be like visually - I know it was something I would have liked to see. Of course everyone is different, but my pattern seems pretty typical based on what I read, even if the actual amounts are not necessarily average. Disclosure: I don't know if they are or aren't close to average, I tend to think they might be a bit better than average but not atypically so. Here is some other relevant info:

--I started at 310 and after 90 days am at 255.
--I ripped my internal stitches at 2 weeks out and had to take it easy for another 2 weeks.
--I would consider myself generally pretty active though I most certainly did not work out every day. I'll try to add a mapmyfitness chart to this if I can. I'd say I averaged about 3 workouts a week, some short and some long, but all with decent intensity. I also chase a toddler around a lot.
--I average between 600 and 700 cals in the post-liquid only phase
--I only did 1/2 week on purees and moved to more solid but soft food
--I'm shooting for 60 g of protein a day and fail at that most of the time. But I regularly get 50.
--I'm 36, female and had no comorbidities to deal with
--Notice that the plateaus come at fairly regular intervals and are getting shorter each time.The first one was the worst, but take note - it does get better!

So, here's the data.



EDIT: Here is my workout log. "Gym workout" is elliptical machine. Other/generic is lawn mowing, tree trimming, shoveling dirt, etc. Sorry it's so long.
