Recent Gastric Band Hypnosis with Paul Mckenna

[wrinkles22]

Hi to everyone,

I am new to this and I know there has been a lot of threads on this recently on here but just thought I would share my experience with anyone that's interested.


I thought I would write a review on Paul McKenna Gastric Band Hypnosis.

After losing over 6 stone with WW and struggling as put nearly two back on and never want to be back at that point, thought id try his book/DVD.

Followed it to the tea and read the book twice and then on Monday night went into the spare room and put in my earphones and listened to the pre-op then the surgery and relaxed and started to follow his instructions of counting down, I felt very strange very relaxed my body felt almost tingly, but could here everything he said and remained awake but so relaxed it felt like I was dreaming, although I could hear everything and opened my eyes once or twice to make sure I was definitely awake its was a strange but dreamy feeling, when at the end he counted down from 10 I opened my eyes and felt lovely and relaxed.

I went to bed shortly after that and had a great sleep, as usually not a good sleeper, got up for work the following morning at 4.30 and felt quiet energetic, breakfast time came and went didn't feel hungry so never ate then about 11 o clock felt slightly peckish and a bit light headed as have a active job so had a small bowl of cereal ( in a sugar size bowl) finished it didn't feel overly full like I thought I would, but not hungry either, as the day went on I was at work until 7.pm so about 3.pm had a small sandwich on my break usually id have 4 slices of bread as its small Warburton's wholemeal bread but only made two with a slice of turkey and salad in them, and a packet of small quavers crisps, when my day was over went home my OH had already had his tea I didn't feel hungry at all and had nothing else.

I had drunk water through the day, and usually I live for meal times but think that's sometimes my problem is that i eat because we have been programmed to eat Breakfast then Lunch then Dinner even when at times I probably not hungry and was eating for eating sake as its just habit, like the book says eat when hungry stop when full so I am going to try this method and see what happens, I did get weighed on the night I listened to the DVD so will post again soon to let anyone interested know the results.

Hello wrinkles
I've been reading through the old thread after you resurrected it. I would be interested to hear how you get on. I'm surprised there isn't a current thread as the other posters seemed to do really well.
Good luck

Thanks for that Wombat22.

Yesterday was the first day since listening to the DVD that I had a cooked evening meal as my husband was in first from work so he cooked what I call a proper tea which was a nice piece of sirloin steak, spring cabbage, carrots and cauliflower and two scoops of mashed potato, I had already told him to give me small portions and put on a smaller plate which he did, mine was half the size of his but he doesn't have any weight issues.

We sat chatting or should I say my husband sat chatting and me eating as the DVD says to sit quiet and not in front of tv which I did but we did chat a little, as you have to concentrate on your eating enjoying the taste of the food and chewing it at least 20 times which I did, I did feel hungry by the time I got in from work so was looking forward to my tea.

Not even half way through my meal i started to feel like id had enough, not an uncomfortable feeling but a feeling of getting full and after another mouthful of steak( which was lovely) decided I was full and left the rest (to which my dog Popcorn was very happy about ha) so that felt a little strange for me as was always brought up to empty my plate, but felt very satisfied.

I don't get weighed until Wed next week and will post the results then.
