My timeline seems pretty similar to yours. I had surgery on 8/1 and I go into walking cast on 8/22. I've been NWB, and I don't know what my dr will say about starting to put weight on my ankle when I go in on 8/22. I can update you after that. Compared to lots of other people on here my progression seemed fast as well, but I feel great and my dr has a great reputation. I'm mid thirties, active, non smoker, and healthy. I also had no ligament damage in my leg (syndesmosis) and I know I would've been NWB a lot longer if I'd had that.
