I was walking every day after surgery. Would go to the mall and walk a few laps. I was give the ok to lift after a month. I am now 4 months out and tried insanity and I am no were near were I need to be to do that yet. I have lost 107lbs so far and run every day and lift weights, I lasted about 20 mins into the first tape and all the jumping bothered my knee and just wasnt to the point you need to be to do that.

Your body should guide your decision. If you are not in pain (real physical pain as opposed to the "this workout sucks!" kind of pain) it should be fine. You may only be able to do a very short amount, but we all have to start somewhere. Only do what you can comfortably do without hurting yourself. When in real doubt consult your doctor and whatever you do, have a fun time with it! The process is difficult. But creating these habits can be fun too. :)

You can always modify how you do it. You don't have to jump as high or be as intense as the people in the video. You can aim to do 20 minutes of a 40 minute tape. I know people who are in shape and work out who couldn't do the full P90x program their first time. I plan to start P90x in July. I will do a slowed down modified version for the first 90 days. Then I plan on doing it again after I complete it with a little more intensity (hopefully).

highest weight = 228 DOS = 219 CW = 201 DOS was May 7th 2013

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
