Just curious - once you get clearance to lift weights etc. how hard can you work out. I've done P90X in the past and really like it but I'm just wondering if it's something I could do on 600-800 calories. I've done it eating 1200-1500 but never such a low caloric intake. I know I can adjust the workouts to do less reps etc, but I was just wondering is anyone else has done a hard workout like that or Insanity during their first year of weight loss.

You'll figure out your workout routine by trial and error, unless you hire a personal trainer. I know that several have posted that P90X is pretty challenging, but it sounds like you were fairly fit pre-op. Try it once you're back on solids and cleared to work out and see how you do. You'll know whether it's something you can do or not very quickly.

Thanks for the response. LOL - Like most of us I've been good at losing weight - but not keeping it off. So previously when I was losing weight - I was in pretty good shape & did P90X- but I've since gained it all back. I was thinking of trying to start back with a modified version of the P90X before I have the surgery.

I haven't had my surgery yet, my 1st appt. with my surgeon on 8-9.
