Can you exercise to much?

My surgery is scheduled for 2-12-01! I am very excited! I have already started walking and I'm doing o.k. with it. My question is - Can you exercise too much? I realize that for the first 6-8 weeks walking is the only exercise you can do, but after that I would like to do a cardio video in the morning, strength train 3 days a week and walk for 40 minutes in the evening when my husband gets home. Is that too much? I know that I am being very ambitious, but I need to spend this time on myself now! The window of opportunity will close faster than I want if at 18 month's I'm not at goal! (341lbs pre-op - 160lbs. goal) I have heard that the first 6 months is the best time to form your habits and to lose that bulk of your weight. True?
