Best of luck Wayne!
You need to commit to changing past eating habits in respect to volume. When you start to feel slightly full QUIT eating. I changed from eating 3 traditional meals and way too much volume, especially lunch and dinner, to eating good "snacks" throughout the entire day, just enough volume to never have that "I'm starving feeling." I shrunk my stomach substantially in the last five years and I do not miss leaving a restaurant feeling beyond uncomfortable.
Wish you the best of success!
