My band feels tighter in the evenings

Ok, so i was banded on May 13th (almost a week ago). I've had basically no problems other than the normal gas, a little achey from incisions and actually being hungry (at least I think I am).
Last night I had home made egg drop Soup for dinner (my husband found the recipe on this forum). I was uncomfortable from about a half hour after I finished it until around 7:30 this morning. I even woke up in the middle of the night uncomfortable.
I figured I just ate too much or didn't chew the egg enough. I wasn't nauseas or sick and I didn't feel like I had to throw up, just uncomfortable. I wasn't worried, just decided I'd take it easy today.
Well, today I've had Decaf Chi tea, beef broth, Protein shake, Jello and Water. The last thing (other than water) I had was Jello around 6:30.
I was fine until about 8:30 and then I started getting that feeling again. Kind of like pressure in my stomach - only this time I KNOW I didn't eat anything.
I know some people say their bands are tighter in the morning. Could it be possible that it feels tighter at night?
