I ended up having a total unfill to maintain my weight. As for still seeing yourself as overweight, that takes time to come to terms with. Its different for everyone, but it took me a solid year before I totally accepted that the image I saw was really me, and not an illusion.

Do you really want to risk losing your band because of an overfill? Shouldn't you be maintaining by eating healthy foods vs. high cal foods? You've come so far, I'd hate to see you lose your band because you are either too tight or not eating properly.

Just be careful.

I must have missed the part about PBing a lot. That is in no way good for your band health. I would be more worried about losing my band to a slip because I was PBing than gaining weight after an unfill.
