How can I loosen stomach muscles so I can exercise?

I just had lap gastric bypass about five days ago. My doctor said it was okay to start walking as soon as I felt up to it. So around day 5 post-op I attempted to do a 1 mile walking video. I was feeling fine until about around half a mile, I began to experience a tight muscle pull and could not continue. Has anyone else experience this starting to try to exercise? I thought maybe I did too much or maybe I should have stretched. What are some good stretches that will loosen my stomach muscles so I can walk?
