 So the next two days are clear liquids only.  Saturday and Sunday are normally my heavy exercise days.  I do spin AND P90X on those days.  My husband says with the limited amount I'm allowed in I should just go for a long walk and give the exercise a rest.  Keep in mind I have been on the pre-op diet for 2 weeks and I'm feeling it.  So what do you think should I take it easy tomorrow or do the normal since I'll be limited in exercise for the next 6 weeks or so.

 Personally I would give it a break, or do like your husband said, and just take a long walk. You will need all the energy you can in the first week post op, and heavy exercising will be the last thing on your mind. You did well so far, so a short break won't hurt anything.

I agree!! Don't do the heavy exercise.. You may pass out.. Take it easy ..You will have plenty of days to do it after you heal... Mean while enjoy losing with out the effort for a bit..
Best wishes on your surgery..You have been waiting for this for a while now!!

Uh...seriously?  Your husband is right. You'll get back into it after the surgery.  Your muscle will have memory. It is just 2 days. 

If you have the spin bike at home, just ride it or some other stationary bike after about a week without turning it into an intense spin class. My doctor told me to walk 30 minutes per day as soon as I got home.  Just don't be obsessive and over do it and hurt yourself.  NO WEIGHTS!

 Well that's just it after surgery they told me no heavy exercise for like 6 weeks, just walking and moderate cardio.  Which I completely understand because well my stomach needs to heal.  But I'm worried about losing those 6 weeks to training.

You'll get back to it.  Don't worry. You won't turn into mush. Your hard work before and after the 6 weeks will more than pay you back.
