I've had basically one period of time (4 days) where I was too restricted and couldn't keep anything down, not even water. If you're experiencing PB's no matter what you eat or drink, it's time to get a slight unfill. Believe me, even a minimal amount of .1cc can make the world of difference.
My suggestion would be to have your surgeon (or whomever it is that does your fills) take out .1cc at a time and then drink some water to see how it passes through.
When I went in for my fill, I had 2.6cc and had .2cc put in. After a few days, I experienced being too restricted. So, I went in and had .3cc taken out and was able to chug water. It felt soooooo good after not eating or drinking for 4days. I waited a few weeks of losing some weight (specifially around my abdomen), I went back in and bumped it up to 2.8cc again.
Again, as a reminder, if you can't keep anything down, get a slight unfill.
Happy banding, folks!
