Body weight before surgery, maximum weight loss at 5 months post-surgery, and body weight (left axis, connected points) and energy intake (right axis, bars) during the study. Food intake was recorded for 3 days (one weekend day and 2 weekdays) at baseline (BL) and for 30 additional days over nearly 5 weeks after baseline. Food intake was not recorded on days 1, 5 and 19 and body weight on days 1 to 5 during the study. The line within each energy intake bar indicates the target energy intake goal of 1,500 kcal/d.
