Is it normal to hurt everytime I eat? Why is the weight loss so slow?

I had a lap band placed on Oct. 08,2008. To date I have only lost approx. 25 pounds. And gained back 2 pounds on my last visit in March,09. I hurt really bad when I don't chew my food well enough especially in my left side of my neck and chest it feels almost like a really bad charlie horse.Am I supposed to be losing weight this slowly? And is this normal to hurt like that? I only have 2.0 mls. in my band.
