Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis App?!

[cerealqueen]

I've just seen this in the Apple App Store - does anybody know anything about it or tried it? It seems to have good reviews but its not cheap a £7.49!

I need something to control snacking (eating DDs leftovers in particular) and my portions - which are huge. I also need inspiration to lost about a stone in 7 weeks for a wedding in June, for which I need to fit into a dress I last wore 6 years and 2 DCs ago.
Any thoughts? Shall I give it a go?

realhousewife - if I don't listen to it - like during half term, then it didn't work as I didn't have the focus that it gives me, I was just stuffing my face mindlessly.

When I listen to it, it helps me manage my compulsive over eating.

So I'm restarting right now, tucked up in bed and about to listen to part one

Starting again today been a total pig last few weeks.

Can I join you lot then? Bought it yesterday. Did it last night before going to bed. Fell asleep during it, then woke up just as it finished and rolled over and went straight back to sleep, which is a minor miracle in itself as I have got bronchitis and have been hardly sleeping for coughing the last few nights! So far so good this morning, I have already had a smaller portion of muesli this morning than I normally would, had the standard 45g serving that the packet recommended and found this was perfectly adequate and satisfying. Also feel more positive, previously I would always dread the day and the boring food I would have to eat on a "diet", and just be waiting til I gave on and cheated. Today somehow I don't feel scared of food. Hard to explain.

Can I just ask one thing, I have been weighing myself and have been consistently 11st 7.75lb the last few days, but this morning due to a pizza binge last night and I guess still being full I weigh 11st 10.5. Which should I take as my starting weight so that I don't move on to the next stage too quickly iyswim? Although you do still have to do it for at least a fortnight anyway don't you?

I'm finding I'm sleeping better too. I wonder if it's because I feel more chilled out or could it be that I'm not waking up because I'm not dreaming about food all the time:)
I joined the Face Book group last night, thanks for the 'heads up' Somerandom. There's a really good video of Sue on there explaining how to change your eating habit. Has anyone else seen it? I'm going to give it a good go. What she's saying seems to be easy to follow.

Is anyone else on stage three finding their weight loss has speeded up? I am eating like a bird, just got myself a chicken salad for lunch and ending up eating about a quarter of it. And last week my jeans got loose, at the weekend my knickers started falling down , and today I realised that my shoes are too big! Its bloody marvellous!

How much have you lost now glasto?
I'm coming up to start on session three, and was a bit nervous, but not now!

I've been consistently losing 5 lbs a week . I do have a lot to lose though, but I wonder if I'll keep up that sort of weight loss? I hope so!

I'm really loving this app, because it doesn't feel like I'm dieting at all, it just feels normal now.

I've lost 26 pounds in just over five weeks (6 in the last week!) I have loads to lose too and am hoping the weight continues to fall off, for a little while anyway! Even if it slows down as it surely must, I am delighted with my progress!

Well done :) you're doing brilliantly!

When you've finished listening to the last session, will you carry on listening to one of the hypnosis sessions?
I'm due to start listening to number 3 tomorrow night ( but I'm putting it off a bit, as I have a very busy week coming up), but I'm worried about not having something to listen to, as it really seems to be keeping me on the straight and narrow!

Yes I am also due to stop tomorrow, but am worried about stopping as I really feel it is helping me stay focused. I suppose I should ask sue what she advises on the fb page.

Another kg in the last week - just over 3kg to go to get within healthy range - bmi is now down to just over 26.

Well done everyone for their amazing progress - I'm finding this thread incredibly supportive.

luckyme - I've watched Sue's video now - found it really helpful and have been following the tips as much as possible. Seems that the conscious bit is key to sustaining the weight loss and I now realise I didn't put that in place when I lost weight with the Paul McKenna CD. Sue explains it really clearly and makes lots of sense.

Thank you for the fb link, I have just joined

Lost another 1.2 kg since Saturday - so pleased it's still working so well. How's it going for everyone else?

I've lost 25lbs now, in 4 and a half weeks!

Oh well done everyone! 26 3/4 lbs in six and a half weeks here, so should hit two stone in two months, fucking marvelous!

OMG! Very well done all of you. How have you found it? Has it been quite painless?

It's been a complete doodle Divster! I just had my lunch and was only able to eat about a third of it, which is completely unheard of for me. I really can't eat as much, and I don't crave anything either. I feel like I have been deprogrammed! .

I've found it completely painless Divster . I feel much more positive with loads more energy than before. I've lost a stone since I started using the app on 6th May. I've now only got 4lb to lose to get into the healthy weight range. I felt so stuck before I listened to the app and to get to a healthy weigh seemed like an impossible goal. To say I'm happy is an understatement. I find this thread a great help for motivation too and really can't thank cerealqueen enough for her original post - I would never have known about this app otherwise.

Does anybody know if it comes as an app for any other brand of phone? I really want to try it but don't have an i phone

Sue has said they have no plans for making it available on Android, which is a huge shame. She has a CD on ebay, the link is in the fb link above. Really wanted to app myself though.

Sounds like you have all done really well.

I don't understand apps. I have a Blackberry, can I get it on there?

No it wont work on your blackberry either.

I have just got the CD from ebay, hope its as good as the app!

I am joining you all now, as James has sent me mp3 version when I purchased the cd from ebay. My stomach feels smaller already lol

I need this, dont I? Do I just get it for my Ipad? Im due to go to bed in a minute, can I listen to it in bed?

Yes TheNightWatch you get it for your ipad and you can listen to it in bed.
