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?

It's called virtual gastric band hypnosis.

Here is a link to the cd on eBay, if you don't have an iPhone/pad/pod.

If you buy the cd, I think they'll send you an mp3 link so you can start straight away.
(bloody hell! I do sound like I'm selling it I'm not, honest!)

have bought cd but no mp3 link! i have all weekend to wait now and am really eager to give it ago!

For a Friday night, I have stopped drinking really quite early. And have done well for food. Agreeably surprised.

I've had a great first week too :-)
I've weighed my self this morning & dropped 7lbs this week - started listening a week ago today! SO HAPPY!! We went out to dinner last night & I chose a prawn salad but I could literally only eat about a quarter of it - both my head & my stomach were telling me I was full & I also left a half glass of wine - just over a week ago this would of been unheard of!

I've been following the Nerys & India idiot proof diet since last September and had lost just over a stone on it & really enjoyed the way of eating & found it easy to stick to, but my weight loss had stopped since about February & although I didn't put any on it was quite frustrating I wasnt losing any even though I was sticking to the plan - apart from the booze!
On my unhealthy table I have firmly placed a bottle of gin & wine to try & stave me off the booze & I am thrilled it seems to be working - alcohol is the biggest thing that stops me from losing weight.

Onwards & upwards!!

Well fuck me sideways, my period is due so weighed myself this morning expecting no loss or a small gain. And I've only dropped four pounds overnight again.

glasto that's incredible.

My weight loss has slowed down a bit - only lost 1 1/2 lb since I last posted 10 days ago - prior to that was regularly losing a kilo a week. Weight got stuck for a week but has started edging downwards again - which is a relief - I was worried the magic had stopped working. Think I was retaining fluid.

Good luck all

Yeah my weight loss is following a pretty weird pattern, seem to stick around the same weight for a week or two then drop a ton overnight, creep up a pound or two,then drop right down again. Not complaining,it's an adventure on the scales alright!

Morning all! Weighed in another 4lbs lighter this morning!! I'm loving this now...

mumtoaandj- have tried e-mailing James and Sue directly to let them know you haven't got the link. Any time I contact them they get back so quickly I'm amazed. Otherwise you could post on the FB group. They get back to people really quickly on there too.
I'm going to a party this evening, anyone got any tips for avoiding the booze please?

glastocat- 4lbs overnight? Well done you, that's flippin' amazing.

Sorry mumtoaandj should have read - have tried you e-mailing James and Sue directly................. must learn to proof read before hitting 'send' button..lol

Glasto, are you there? Im starting four nights tonight. So glad because there will be no booze involved for most of the week!! Now, I always feel like I need cheering up on nights with food so, what should I eat before I go? Im going to M and S in a minute. I want to low carb if I can for the week at least.

Im confused. Can I have green salads with tomatos in? Whenever Ive done the Dukan its all a no no at first. Atkins too.

Or, shall I just treat myself to their ready meals? The fuller longer range and take some fruit to work? Are some fruits better that others?

Thenigntwatch, you need to pick which diet you want to do,because they all have different rules. I'm doing no bread potatos rice sugar or processed food. The first three days are murder then it's easy. I eat unlimited eggs meat fish and veg, and an ounce of cheese a day. Works for me!

I have also cut out my nightly wine to Friday and Saturday only, and will cut that to one night if I have to. Instead my nightly reward is a bath bomb! :)

THE mp3 arrived so too did an email from james? have listened to audio 1 but feel asleep now am shattered and want to sleep more! maybe that will be the way my body wont eat?
so do i listen to 1 until i have firmly lost 2 pounds or for a given length of time?

I'm going to find the no potatoes thing quite hard as I need something to get me through the night!!! I must remember to put my booze on the table in a minute

Mumto - listen to session 1 for at least 2 weeks or longer until you've lost 2 lbs.
Listen to session 2 for two weeks or longer til you've lost 8 lbs overall.
Listen to session 3 for 1 week.

I haven't followed a particular diet, I've gone with what I've fancied, and I have found I am naturally avoiding carbs, but it hasn't been difficult at any point, and the longer I've done this, the easier it is.
I don't think about food at all now, where before, most of my day was spent either eating or thinking about what I'd like to eat
I've lost 2 stone in 6 weeks!

Downloaded this ans listened to it last night - promptly feel asleep after Sue started the backwards countdown!

Going to try and cut out bread (which will kill me), potatoes, rice and pasta and up my veg intake too.

It is so amazingly LIBERATING to look at crisps and say 'no'. They are my nemesis. Today I twice passed up the opportunity to buy them when they were right under my nose.

Yes I love crisps too. My kid was eating Pringles today, and I was able to think,well I would like one,but I don't need one so it ain't going to happen. And then forgot all about it!

Oh gosh you are all doing so well!! I've been listening every night since Sunday and honestly, apart from drinking more water, I dont think anything has changed. I dont really eat biscuits or crisps, I snack on light mousse's or fruit, my meals are probably a little too big but I'm still eating my normal portion, maybe a little less.

I just dont really see how this is different to any other diet/weight loss program, if the problem is my will power as its always been my problem on WW or any other 'diet' so I'm kinda at square one.

Disheartening really, I hoped my subconscious would help me out on that front but so far not so much.

Well, I missed night 3 last night - oops!

BUT, today, I was having lunch, and left quite a bit of it.

Just eaten my dinner and left a fair bit of chicken too.

Ditto the sneaky caramel latte I had in town - couldn't drink it all.

All this after a mega gym session where I'm usually trying to eat everything in sight!

Very strange feeling, but very good. As of yesterday, I've lost 1lb.

kiwi Two things - it might take a few days to really work, I think that might be why you have to listen for a fortnight and lose 2lbs. The other one is that for me, and I think for others it's really tackling the will power problem.

I really would keep trying. I just had ryvita and low fat Philly instead of going to the corner shop for crisps - this is MASSIVE!

Think of Glasto and live in hope!

I only have 3-4 kilos to lose, but I have put them on over the last 6 months and it seems like the scales are gradually creeping upwards.

The anti-histamines I'm on make me hungry constantly and this is the first time I've had to watch what I'm eating.

Thanks to this thread I looked at the virtual gastric band app/mp3 but it looked like the final phase was a bit scary - do they really do sound effects and make you think you have had real surgery?

Also I don't want to completely lose my appetite !

I downloaded something from Hypnosisdownloads which I have listened to a couple of times - it's about dealing with your hunger cravings - and I noticed a difference the next day.

I felt a hunger pang in the supermarket and normally would have put some crisps or something in my trolley, this time I just ignored it and I haven't snacked AT ALL.

Am hoping this will be enough to lose what I need.

DH had just downloaded it and I'm tempted to ask Sue if she can develop an app for toddlers to sleep through and potty train!!!!
