Is there anyone who does the p90x DVDs? My hubby bought me the P90X DVD's for before and after gastric bypass surgery ..so I can exercise at home. But I still find myself using the gym membership for yoga and spin.

After surgery I know I can't lift anything over 5 lbs for the first 6-8 weeks, so is walking my only option to exercise?

My surgeon said only walking the first four weeks but they are all different. Just check before you try it out once you've had the surgery. Have fun with it! It's killer!!

Walking is the best but you will find yourself getting bored. Just take youre time getting into other exercises. You will find yourself getting Tired very quickly. Remember, you are going to be recovering. It took me probably 3-4 months before I was able to really feel my energy come back for a full workout! It's frustrating at first but it will get better!

Really Maria- 3-4 months until your energy level was fully restored? Dear god I'm in for a long ride! It's been only 5 weeks post op and I'm already frustrated that I have no energy!

I'm hoping to change that - but at least I'll be (hopefully) still losing weight :)

I am 3 weeks out and doing p90x. I love it. And it is making me feel my muscles like crazy. U can use the bands or weights and always modify if needed. It's awesome. I go to the gym too just do what works for you but include weight traing or you wont be happy.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
