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 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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
