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've just found it. Didn't realise there were 2 play buttons!

Do you guys think I should move on to stage 2, I've lost almost 4lbs in 2 wks but dont really feel like I've Got It iykwim, its hit and miss if I remember to do the concious stuff (would a fit and healthy person eat that etc) but it must be working as I had half a cheese toastie for dinner and dont really feel like eating anything else... on one hand yay for recognising I dont need more food but booo for the fact it was DS's leftovers and I keep pushing the kids leftovers 'off the table' but I'm still eating them IRL!!!!

So, yeah, should I go to stage 2 or should I stay on stage 1 a bit longer to get the message in!!!!

Hi all...nearly the weekend again and just weighed in another 3 lb lighter. I'm beginning to feel really good now and I'm even going to start an exercise class next week!
kiwidreamer, are you a member of the Facebook support group they have for us lot? You could post on there and ask Sue or James what they think you should do. I've posted a couple of questions on there now and they are both so helpful. It's a really good group. Give it a go if you've not tried it already.

Completely went off diet today. Didn't feel full or sick and ate too much and too much junk. So can't be working at all for me. I was so hopeful reading this thread thinking there could be a way to not always be hungry or thinking of food. Damn

Darthsillus just listen to part one again and get on the wagon again. Its not a miracle cure, just keep on keeping on.

Keep at it darthsillius, you've only just started and I think it has a cumulative effect. I haven't really noticed a decrease in my appetite but have cut out snacks, and its not like I don't want them its just easier to say no but you still have to want to say no. Are you doing the other stuff like having a glass of water instead of eating in the first instance?

For some reason I find it better to do it in a chair rather than in bed if that helps!

I've walked past a box of Krispy Kremes three times tonight. I can smell em and haven't flinched. I need a treat for lunch tomorrow though. What can I have that's low carby but fan? Also, I haven't had a drink for a week, should I buy vodka or wine for tomorrow night?

Hi everyone, just seen there is a special offer on the app for this weekend. 2 of my friends weren't sure, even though I'm losing weight so well, but they're going to buy it at £4.99 it's a no brainer!
Enjoy your Sunday everybody.

OK - I'm in - it's downloading as I type

I am a failed dieter - my claim to diet fame is losing 2 stone about 3 or 4 years ago. Have since put it all back on plus extras for luck

I am so greedy, I love food, I need to lose at least 3 stone.........and right here is where I start.

any top tips appreciated

Hi Furball, you sound like me. Except I'm more of a 'failure' than you! My claim to fame is that I lost about 17 pounds nearly 10 years ago, since gained all back plus an extra 2 stone and am a useless dieter. I need to lose at least 4stone...gahh.

I've arsed around hummed and harred about trying this, but I thought well I've tried everything else. Literally. So I'm in on this now. I've only just decided today so I haven't started properly yet, but the advice I keep reading is to make sure you follow the guidelines and when if you slip up just get right back to it.
I did listen to Session 1 a few weeks ago for a few nights, then life got in the way and I gave up. But I'm back now.
Oh and make sure you listen to Session 1 every day for at least two weeks and till you've lost 2 pounds.

Good luck!

Thanks malorymad

I haven't listened to the app yet as ds (the ipad owner) is currently doing things on it.

I've just had my lunch - ok it was chicken kiev (trying to support Jimmy Dohety with his Tesco free range version )

I then had one teeny boiled potato, carrots, baby sweetcorn and peas in their pods.

I ate consciously and chewed every mouthful and even managed to leave some. and have had no pud.

have just nabbed the ipad so will listen now while dh and ds watch the grand prix.

I need to go out and buy loads of water, I find that hard to keep track of.

I have no idea what to eat today and the shops will be closing soon but i have to watch the tennis!

Hi everyone, Im currently listenting to Paul McKenna 2/3 times a week and have been for about 4 weeks (I think) Ive lost a little bit though I do like the sound of this app. I take it that it does work though. The only thing is Im unsure if I can listen to it everyday (unless I take my ipod to bed with me which is doable I suppose) so would like to know does it work if I only listened to it 3 times a week or is it really a everyday thing. I still can't help snacking and love minstrels and maltesers so it would be good to not want these at all.

Its only a fiver so will buy it after my tea in a bit and will weigh myself tomorrow and see how it goes. Looking forward to joining in the fun of losing weight with you all.

Cant download the app on my ipod touch even though DP has updated it last week :( Have seen somewhere that you can buy it on CD, but I didnt really want to. Oh well might just stick with Paul. Maybe one day if I ever get my iphone I might try again.

If you buy the CD you get emailed it in MP3 format too so you can use it on your ipod that way too.

ooh can you, sounds a bit technical to me, but will have a look, its just that Ive got no money till tues, but have itunes credit and Im very impatient. Also I think the CD is more expensive although I may be wrong it wouldnt be the first time

There are a few on itunes I can download to my classic ipod (I have that and a touch) if I need to, but Im not sure if they will be any good.

End of week 2 - just weighted in and have lost another 3 pounds. I'm delighted that's a total of 6 pounds in 2 weeks.

This is the best I've ever achieved on a diet as I always try and cheat so I always liked slimming world because I could stuff and stuff pasta, fruit etc. I never really addressed my over eating iyswim.

Bumbez - fab news

I am on day two and off for a listen

1st week weigh in and I've lost 6lb in one week

I've never managed to lose more than a lb

fart if you buy the CD off ebay, then ask for an MP3 link, they send you that so you can download it and start it straight away. I got it last night. Session 1 a lot like Paul, but am fancying a change from his voice, so am giving this a go instead for a few weeks.

Well done on all the great weight losses .

Thanks kinky will have a look tomorrow, is it easy to find on ebay? Will i know its the right one? So looking forward to this, it just sounds a bit better than Paul. I do like Paul and have definately lost a bit of wieght, I just like the sound of losing those cravings and non of the hunger scale that I have to try and figure out where I am. As far as I can see with this one you listen to it regularly and the rest of it is done for you, though of course I may be wrong.

A bit fed up because I've gone up more than makes sense. I haven't been as strict over the weekend as I was during the week, but I still was really moderate compared to the way I have been in the past.

Never mind, just been out for a run, the inches are definitely coming off and I really shouldn't stand on the scales every day.

Onwards and downwards!

Dashing I stand on the scales everyday too. Id like to stop, but I can't help it. One day though the batteries will run out and that will be it, will stick to Boots/Tescos every week. Good luck for the week ahead :)

fart I followed the link from on this thread. It's this:

Have been bloody starving today. Am guessing it takes some time to kick in...

I went Onto step two today. Is there anything I should be doing? I miss pushing the bad food and wine off the table. Have I missed her telling me to do anything like press a button?
