This could he allergies and congestion that builds up. Any solutions to curb morning tightness?

I myself can't eat anything for about 3 hrs after I get up. If I drink it has to be tiny sips or it won't go down. I just plan around it.

I've read drinking something hot like tea of coffee seems to work for a lot of people. It helps to loosen everything up before you eat.

I was banded on May 2 and I was told to drink something hot first thing when I get up. It does work. Try something hot!

My LB Doc says: it's not uncommon for Banders to feel tight in the A.M. and Since all we ever hear is that Breakfast is the "most important meal of the day" it's tough trying to trying to accomplish this.

Some banders prefer to wait and eat a later breakfast, personally I used to drink protein water (initially) or eat small amounts of steel cut oatmeal, or scrambled eggs. Something nutritional. But I've never heard or been told of anything that actually HELPS to relieve the tightness sorry....

Morning tightness is very normal. What I do to help with it is drink a cup of coffee first thing, this seems to help reduce the Fluid build up in that area. During my monthly cycle, I know nothing is going down so I don't bother- just have a Protein shake.

Everyone's band will behave differently and we have to adjust to it.
