Bandster Advice Please

Hi all, I had a fill a few weeks ago and now I am finding it doesn't take much to **** off my band.  Sometimes I can eat just fine and sometimes (like just now) I really struggle and most of everything comes back.  Yesterday was no issue (and I ate shrimp and salad); today I ate beans on a tortilla and thought I was going to die....I guess I eat too fast sometimes, or I am even finding if I am cold, stressed, irritated... my band is tighter.....ugh
I am avoiding asking for an "unfill" and just wonder if anybody else has struggled with this.  Advice?

 Ok. Now  keep in mind I will never ever keep my band extremely tight!! I did that one never again..
  If its come and go, try slow down and chewing better.. When you get tighter, you realize that  you realllyyy have to chew alot.. So, try that.. See if its different foods that set it off..
 Tortilla are probably going to be a BIG NO NO!!
 breads and tortilla are a nono when you get pretty tight.. Steak and pork will be as well..
  Only you can decide whether its too tight but I think it is more knowing that you need to mark food of the list as it gets tighter.. Thats why I dont want anything real  tight..

Thanks Dawn...I appreciate it....yep it would be bread, tortillas, and things like hard boiled egg that just don't make it....

YEs, I would definately keep a food list and see what goes down good and what goes down bad.
I agree with everything that Dawn says.....
I would definately agree that stress would make it tighter....
Chew chew chew....

Keep us posted and let us know how your doing.

Thanks guys!   I have had so much going on with my daughter and not used to having stress tighten my band up like a medieval chastity belt.  I started my no-no list yesterday and also added a "sometimes" list as well.  I'll see how it goes.   He told me when he gave me my last fill-"you are gonna have to be really careful"...guess I didn't take him at his word.

 when you get that tight everything will affect it.. Being hydrated enough,  and sinus drainage will affect it too.. So if you take allergy meds, make sure u take them.. It will tighten you up in a heart beat!!!
