Hello all What i don't understand is if we chew chew and chew so the food is like soft food and the pouch will become empty as we eat, i understood that the band stops us from eating as much because our pouch became full as we eat, so why do we want to eat slow so the food empties? why do we want to make the food pass the pouch? because we will not feel full then, will we? I'm sorry i just don't get it,i have read and read but can't find anything that tells me how this it meant to work or works to the point that we are not emptying our pouch as we eat slow many thanks Cherie
