Question for you guys. I've been banded since Jan. 28th, so far i've lost about 37 lbs. I have 5 cc's in my band right now so i'm not restricted much.

This may seem really funny because 4 months ago I could care less about this but lately anytime I eat something that I don't normally eat. For example today I was hungrier than usual and I had half of a sandwich extra to eat so I felt like a cow. I had to exercise. I'm becoming so obsessed with exercise I don't even recognize myself. I feel anytime I eat anything extra or a little higher in fat and calories I have to work out. Does anyone feel the same way?

I know it's a good thing that I'm working out but it's just funny because 4 months ago exercise wasn't even on my mind and now i'm obsessed with it.

The obsession really starts after you do it for a week or two straight. I feel so good afterwards that it just makes me want to do it more and more! I crave that feeling!!! I hated it when I started, I had to drag myself but once I got going again I love it again

Lol Karen, I totally agree with you. My Tv watching in every machine plus my britney spears helps me run on the treadmill, lawd knows I used to hate running!!

Yes it definitely started a couple weeks after doing it 2-4 times a week. I usually do about an hour 2-4 days a week depending on my schedule. I'm definitely not ready to workout in the mornings. I sleep in as much as I can.

It's great. I can now do 30 pushups (girl style of course) but that's something I wasn't able to do at the start of this. It's nice to be able to stretch and be somewhat limber. My arms are starting to get a nice shape to them too. It's really exciting to see the results.
