The digestion process after a bariatric surgical procedure (I am assuming this is what you mean by "stomach size reduce", in short, will be very different.

The intestines and the stomach take in critical nutrients and vitamins through absorption and this will be affected once the stomach size has been reduced (through a "lap band" procedure where the stomach is banded to make it smaller and thus, the person will feel full after eating only a small amount) and also in more invasive procedures such as the gastric sleeve or gastric bypass.

One medical procedure used to treat morbid obesity is the surgical removal of part of the stomach explain how this would affect chemical digestion?

Surgical removal of part of the stomach, such as in a sleeve gastrectomy, reduces the stomach's size, which limits its capacity to hold food. This can lead to changes in the secretion of gastric juices, including hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes, thereby affecting the initial stages of chemical digestion. With less stomach volume, food is processed more quickly, which may reduce the overall time for chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients in the intestines. Additionally, the altered anatomy may impact hormone production that regulates hunger and metabolism.


Why would drinking very cold beverages have a negative effect on digestion of food in stomach?

Drinking very cold beverages can negatively impact digestion because cold temperatures may slow down the digestive process. Cold drinks can cause blood vessels in the stomach to constrict, which may reduce blood flow and hinder the secretion of digestive enzymes. Additionally, colder temperatures can lead to the solidification of fats in food, making it harder for the body to break them down efficiently. Overall, this can result in discomfort and slower digestion.

I know that it takes about 8 hours to get through both the stomach and the small intestine. And most digestion occurs in the small intestine. So, probably about 2-3 hours. Remember, the stomach only has the enzyme to digest proteins, so why on earth would a lot of digestion occur in it?
