3rd Fill - Too tight? Eating less and gaining weight

I was banded last summer.

Since my last fill less than a month ago, I have had numerous problems getting down Proteins. I need to drink Water to help get food down or I PB alot.

I am eating alot less than my last fill but I find I am gravitating to softer foods and now have gained 2 lbs. Why am I going wrong direction? I am getting pretty frustrated since most of my weight was lost pre-op. Is this because my fill is too tight?

When you get close to your sweet spot, you have to be more vigilant to chew your food well (I have been told to chew it to the consistency of applesauce) and eat slowly. Make sure you are doing that. Do you have any problems drinking liquids? Usually, if you are too tight, it can be a problem to get anything down. If, after insuring that you are eating slowly and chewing very well, you find you are still having problems, go back to the doctor and ask if you need an unfill.
