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.
