Tightness when exercising?

[ADJL 685]

I have 33cc's, but no real restriction in my band right now. I've had just one fill and can eat anything, but when I am exercising its like the band seizes up on me. It makes it hard to swallow Water even. Its ONLY when I exercise and after I've cooled down the feeling goes away.

Anyone else experienced this?

Tips tricks to keep it from happening?

I always tighten up when I exercise. This has the added upside of keeping me full for a lot longer than I usually am. When I exercise I try to make sure I hydrate plenty before and after. That's about the best advice I can give. I don't recommend eating right after you exercise. The tightness usually goes down after an hour or so for me.

I'm glad its not just me or some weird thing with my band only. I do need to remember to hydrate a lot more before I exercise. I also drink my Protein shake about 20 min. after finishing exercise...that seems to work pretty well as its liquid and satisfies the eating part of my breakfast/protein needs.

Thanks!
