I was banded 7 months ago and have lost 26kgs. I have had two fills so far. When i eat i have to chew very very well or it hurts(this i understand). However, as soon as food hits my pouch i feel it going straight through so i figure that its not staying in the pouch the way it should . I am not losing as well as i feel i should be, amd as a result of the food going straight through i can eat way more than i think i should be able to eat. Now i am careful about portion size so i am not setting myself up to fail but i dont know if the food should just go through the way mine does or if it should be staying in the puoch much longer. I can also gult down liquids with no problem. should the food sit in the pouch for a fair while and start the digestion process in the pouch. Can you floks answer these questions for me please.
