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?

Ok. I've read them. Thanks

When did you all start to feel less hungry?

First week weigh in, have lost 1.3kg - hooray! And am noticing a cumulative effect from repeated listening.

Darth hunger changed immediately but I had a blip a couple of days ago, not sure why. Are you noticing any difference in what you're choosing to eat?

No not at all. . Have been dieting for a while on and off. I lost 3 stone before Xmas but have plateaued/put on a few pounds since.

I was up last night with me son who has a temp and just felt starving and started fantasising about spag Bol!

I always struggle when I'm short of sleep. My toddler is playing 'wake mummy twice a night' and sometimes takes quite a long time to resettle. The morning after is often really tough.

I do think you probably need to keep listening because I am pretty sure it's getting more effective each day for me. The first couple of days, I didn't always resist the temptation, but now I really can. And the target loss for the first two weeks is only 2 lbs.

Well done about your 3 stone!

Can I join in here. I have bought due to Clicky's post on the armadillo's page . I'm still b/f my 15 month old so will be on the watchout for supply issues. I wouldn't mind if he cut it down a bit and ate more real food anyway!

I have only done it once but I felt today, for the first time I can remember in a long time, I had a choice in about whether or what I ate. Previously either I just stuffed it in or kept thinking about it until I gave up and just stuffed it in. But today I felt like I could say no if I wanted to. Doesn't mean I did say no all the time, but it felt like it was my choice. Does this make sense to anyone?

Also did anyone else feel a bit anxious being hypnotised? I was definitely under as I couldn't open my eyes even though I tried. It wasn't bad enough to make me want to stop or to not do it again, but I wasn't expecting it. I did go to sleep (did it last thing at night) so I must have been relaxed.

Anyway am off to bed and to listen again. I'm in NZ if anyone is thinking the timings are all up the spout! Night all

Im finding Im not going under as much as I was, I think its because I know it off by heart now!!

Im eating less and I stopped at two glasses of wine last night. I guess Im going to have to go out and buy some scales arent I?

I havent had bread for two weeks but I have had a baked potato. Finding that very hard to give up. Im just about managing with the water.

This is - was that my "anonymous" post? :o

Milk supply seems to be coming back up with daily porridge and oat cakes.
I bought mothers milk tea, which is vile, and I'm struggling to force it down.

Still not feeling any urge to snack.
Saw my GP today, he was stunned that I'm down to two puffs a day of my steroid inhaler - I've been on them for nearly thirty years! I think that's positive thinking as well as weight loss though.

I was brave and bought scales. I'm 11 stone and pretty discussed at myself.

for clicky
Meh about stones on scales - I use kg, less emotionally charged!

I just bought the app . Wish me luck...

Thanks Clicky, had porridge for breakfast this morning. You can also use Fenugreek from a health food shop if you weren't told that. My supply really went down

Good luck Milngavie

hmm obviously posted that without reading! My supply really went down when I had mastitis and he just ate more so hopefully that might happen. Otherwise he'll just feed and feed and not eat - so frustrating.

Thenightwatch - I'd be ecstatic if I was 11 stone :)
Don't be disgusted at yourself - life's too short!

I tried listening to the app in the pm so not to fall asleep but still did! Does it matter if I don't hear it? Or does my subconscious hear it anyway !

I would also be ecstatic if I as 11 stone! Thats a looooooong way away for me! But I'll get there.
I had my eight week weigh in ( my weight goes up and down a few pounds day by day) and I have lost 30lbs. Very very happy, only problem is my smaller jeans won't stay up so am going to have to root out the next size down very soon, and god knows how deep they are in my wardrobe! The size after that though will have to be new jeans!

Excellent Glastocat !

I listened to my first session last night. Will now wait and see what impact it has...

When did you go on to the second part? I'm abit bored of counting my toes.

I went on it after two weeks because I had already lost more than two pounds . I was bored with it too, but just let it wash over me and found that after a while my trance got deeper. Now I'm post-'surgery' I am back listening to part one again to keep me on the straight and narrow, and have to say it really makes a difference for me to listen to it once or twice a week, it seems to reinforce everything (and send me to sleep). I wish Sue would bring out an insomnia app though, I would buy it in a heartbeat!

If I'm honest, I was expecting to weigh nearly 12 stone. I've been listening for three weeks now so, maybe it has kicked in. Do I need to be aware of what's going on in part two? It's just that I'm on nights and will no doubt fall asleep. Should I wait until next week?

glastocat That is fantastic. You must be really delighted. Hope I do as well as you!

Glastocat - wow that is fantastic! It must be so nice to know you can do it, for me being overweight always feels like its my fault because I eat too much. Well done

Thank you! Yes the best bit is knowing that I can do this! And I lost another pound so it's actually 31 lbs in 60 days. . I have a spreadsheet. . I still have a long way to go,but feel so much better already, I have gone from being fucking huge to just fat, which believe me feels fantastic. And I have to keep hoiking up my size 18s, so normal sizes are getting closer, which will be a very happy day indeed.

I would keep a spreadsheet too if I thought I was going to lose that much - do you make a graph with it too?

I haven't made a graph yet but I will.

Where does it say when you go on the next level? I can't find it on app or website. Reading everyone's posts it's go to level 2 after 2 wks and 2 lbs. then go to level 3 after 8lbs but how long? Then how long for the 3rd level?

I have been keeping to a diet and losing and it might be a tad easier than before but nothing dramatic like being full quickly etc. it's still a huge effort.

Maybe I'm not very suggestible? I had hypnotherapy years ago for psoriasis and never went under. Not sure if it helped. My skin did imptrove but i was also using s new cream.
