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?

I listened this morning but, fell asleep half way through. I listened when I woke up as well. I hope thats not over doing it

What diet are you all doing along with it?

Do you have to follow a diet alongside it? I didnt realise that :( and have just bought the CD version!

It doesnt say you have to but, I think it might help push things along? I dont know as its my first day and I need to read this thread properly.

Oh, I wont touch diets with a bargepole, so maybe this isnt for me if a diet is needed to help things. Will watch all your progress with interest though!

Jimmy you don't have to diet. It's all about making healthy choices. Some of us are choosing to diet as well though,but it isn't mentioned in the app at all,beyond encouraging you to choose healthy foods etc.

I'm going to bite the bullet and buy the app. I need to lose about 5 stone . It can't hurt to try can it?

No. I must remember to press my hand when I do it tomorrow, I think I was too tired after work to take it in

Have just started this but didn't realise you have to listen to each stage repeatedly. Where does it say that? I went from 1-2 .

NedZeppelin the instructions are played when you press the play button at the top, not on the bar at the bottom. Basically you listen to part one for two weeks minimum and you have lost two pounds at least.then you do part two for another two weeks and minimum 8 lbs loss. Then you do part three for a week. There is no point in rushing it, it's all very relaxing and enjoyable, and the more you listen the better!

Ah thanks Glasto. Must admit its not made that clear. Back to stage 1 then. I have to say it is working already in that I've cut right back on what I eat- have high hopes after reading all your stories

Ive done it twice and, Im thirsty all the time!!

This might sound silly but, what happens if you fall asleep before the end of it, do you come out of your trance? I was knackered at work last night and I wondered if it was because Id fallen asleep when I listened to it in the morning?

Can I join? I downloaded the app yesterday and sort of listened to it last night but must have fallen asleep.
This morning though I decided to walk to dd's school which is a good 50 minute walk and felt really happy doing it.
I just listened again and was truly under was very erm trippy I kept hearing her voice but then having small weird dreams but as soon as she counted to ten I came round.
I'm not sure how much I weigh right now will get some scales tomorrow but I was creeping up to a size 18 at Xmas then due to some rubbish going on I dropped to a size 12. Now I'm creeping up to a 14 and I really dont want to.
I worry about all the bad Choices I make I overheat constantly so I'm oping listening to this wil stop.
Have sent a Request to the Facebook group.

I listened this morning. Havent noticed much change yet, but it is very early days !

Can I ask, how soon did you all notice something had changed? Was it instant?

Ooooh Im very inspired by this thread, great work everyone!

I assume the recording needs to be listened to while relaxing, is that what the instructions say? I dont get much time to myself right now with my mini clingon DD in the throws of separation anxiety / needy poppet, but I have been getting up early to do 25mins on the cross trainer - could I exercise and listen??

No, I think you need to pretty much relax & chill out if you follow the instructions on the track.

Hi - has anyone got a link to the ebay cd? My version of iphone won't play the version from Itunes - just found that out after I bought it off Itunes on my Imac grrr!!

Thanks for your help. I've really enjoyed reading all these inspirational stories, well done everyone!

Well, it never worked for me yesterday Actually it did because I went to tescos and put some Ben n Jerrys in my basket. Got to the till and turned around, put them back and replaced it with a packet of ginger nuts. I dont know which one was the lesser of two evils

Its the wine Im going to find difficult.

I think you need to give it a chance to work! And its not a miracle cure, they cant physically wrestle the ice cream or gingernuts from your trolley, you have to make that choice yourself. Although when you have listened to it a bit more I think you will find that choice a whole lot easier.

Wine is also my downfall. I asked Sue and she recommended putting it on the table and then pushing it away along with the other bad foods. So I tried to visualise the nicest coldest glass of chardonnay, and then pushed it off the table. It must be doing something as I am now not drinking at all during the week, although I am having a few glasses tonight (my weekly treat hurrah!)

kiwidreamer, no you need to relax when listening. And it is so relaxing you might nod off anyway, so not a good mix with a teadmill!

I've bought the app ( but like the anti wrinkle cream / self help books i think by just buying it , it will work - without actually using it . so will def start today. What is a good time to use it ? Where? Couch or bed?

I've been using the App for 5 nights.

I've lost 10 kilos over last few months using MFP, but had really slowed down over the last month, losing about 1.5kilos in 4 weeks. I was finding it increasingly hard to stick to calorie limits.

Things have def improved since listening to the app. Appetite and desire to snack have both reduced. I'm drinking more water and thinking of food much less. Feels great! First post App weigh in will be Monday.

Here is the ebay link. When you buy the CD they can send you a link to an MP3 that you can use straightaway instead of waiting on the CD delivery, make sure to add a note asking for it.

Annie, I have done both, but couch was easier the 1st time, so as to imagine the buttons I was pushing.

I dont know if the CD version is different, but does anyone else feel like giggling when she goes on about having only 3 toes?

I also didnt hear any part about photographing your food, where is that part?

Do you use the head phones or have it on speaker. I'm struggling with what to buy in for tonight. I really fancy a steak.
