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?

thanks Kinky, I have put it onto my watch list now while I think about it. So if I ask them to send me it as an MP3 I can get it onto my ipod? Will it go in itunes? Sorry for all the questions, I just dont want to pay a tenner for something I can't use. Certainly don't want the CD turning up at all, but happy for a download on itunes/onto my ipod.

It made me install 'dropbox' which gave me the files. I opened Itunes, went to 'import file' and imported them from dropbox. It worked fine and is now on my ipod.

Thanks for the support on sun when I was feeling bad. Sun and mon went back to it all and I had put on a 1lb but it had come off by mon. Then mon had a really good diet day, no snacking loads of veg etc. also went running and to Zumba. I really felt the app may be helping me. So this am i stepped on scales very excitedly and had put on over a 1lb. Am doing it in kilos so it's just a rough conversion.

I suppose I shouldn't weigh every day but at this rate I will have barely lost the 2lbs necessary to go onto stage 2.

I hate when I've felt so good and also I know I've deprived myself and have still put on weight! It just makes me want to stuff myself.

darthsillius - I am new to this, as in a few days - but a long term dieter (ie I'm shite at it )

I have vowed not to weigh myself for the 2 weeks, I know it's difficult if you weigh everyday, but even if you left it 4 days? By weighing everyday you are mentally punishing yourself. If you lost 2lb in one week, it is a teeny loss day to day.

As far as I can make out, this diet way of eating isn't about feeling deprived or feeling hungry - what sort of things are you having?

Thanks. I felt less hungry yesterday and didn't even snack on carrots as u wasn't do hungry btw meals. Am eating small amounts of good carbs. Lots of veg (homemade soup no fat) salads with just balsamic vinegar and low fat protein. I have that diet plate thing to help with carb control.

I have ordered it from ebay, but I got in touch first and asked about the email as I didnt want the CD to be delievered which they said they will make sure I just get the email and not send the CD out. Just waiting for the email now and I can join you all.

I weighed myself yesterday and was 11 stone 12.8lbs, I have also made a spreadsheet so I can see my progress. Now the trick is not to weigh myself again till next monday, its not something Im particularly good at though . Im hoping the batteries don't last much longer so I wont be tempted. Its becoming a bit of a bad habit that I just can't break.

Ive not been very good today and have over-eaten, but hopefully I will it easier once I get listening to the CD every night.

darthsillus I agree with Furball you shouldn't be feeling deprived and certainly not hungry. You should eat when your hungry, if you feel hungry and don't eat your body will go into starvation mode and store everything you do eat hence lack of weight loss. Sorry don't want to sound bossy but sounds like you are treating this as an old fashioned diet which won't work long term I've lost six pounds in 3 weeks and I always eat when I'm properly hungry, I had a small pork pie and a v small piece of lemon cake for my lunch are you on the Facebook group? Perhaps you should ask sue for some specific advice

I have recieved this now and synced it to my ipod, looking forward to listening to it later. Ive also put in a request to join the FB group. Really excited about losing weight now.

arfur - pork pie and cake are on me table that I've smashed on the floor

I'm off to listen to our sue now

and arfur huge congrats for 6 lb in 3 weeks - very impressive

I really need to get back in the swing of this.

I downloaded the app full of enthusiasm but keep going away and scoffing and then coming back and feeling envious of the results of all your harrd work

Just listened to it for the first time and I didnt fall asleep at all, is this normal. I was expecting to hear her for a bit then all of a sudden waking up at the end, but I didnt. Was conscious the whole time (was lying down with my eyes closed, but still consciuos)

FB I bet you will crash out after a few listens.:)

fart - You're not supposed to actually fall asleep - just be at a deep uninterupted rest.

I must learn it's no good trying to do it whilst dh is coughing away next to me

I fall asleep every time, which is weird as I'm usually awake through PMK.

I know Im not meant to be properly asleep, but Im not supposed to be able to be fully conscious through it am I?

With PMK I started off falling asleep (well going into a trance I suppose - I always came round at the waking up stage) and with each time it became less and less.

Hope so glastocat I like the waking up from a trance, I just feel without it I wonder how much really has gone into my subconscious.

Hi everyone, just wanted say thanks to all for the posts on this thread. I really love being part of this thread and also the FB group. I feel I'm a part of a big group of people all with the same aim and the support form these groups and also the advice from James and Sue has made all the difference to me this time.

I have just had a skype appointment with Sue and it was brilliant! There were a couple of things that I was struggling with so I thought I'd give the one to one thing a try. I've been doing so well and I don't want anything to hold me back now.

After my session with Sue I feel brilliant ad so motivated. Sue really explained where I was getting a bit mixed up and it's a bit like 'all the lights have come on'.

I'm looking forward to even more weight loss now and it's going to be fun!

Is anyone else having weird dreams after listening to session 2? Don't laugh, but I am dreaming about "orbs" coming into the room & its scaring the sh*t out of me - I wake up & throw the sheet off the bed & switch the light on convinced there is something/one in the room. This has happened twice - both time s after listening to phase 2 when I go to bed. This never happened in ph1 - tbh, I'm too scared about the nightmare reoccuring to listen now at night before I go to bed just in case "it"happens again! What a drip!! On the plus side - my appetite has more or less disappeared - I look at food now with disdain & can only manage a very small meal now - kids are eating more than me! The negative is my weight doesn't seem to be shifting at all (serial daily weigher here!) I've lost around 7lbs though since starting 3 weeks ago - but seemed to have staled about 10 days ago?
Tell me I'm not losing the plot here!???

Just about to listen to session 2 for the first time, so I'll let you know later lil

Hi, just found thread can anyone confirm if app works on iPod Touch?

Just got this yesterday and started it last night. I dont even remember the countdown but did wake up after a length of time passed. Same thing happened to me with PMCkenna CD. Will it work if I dont even know what it said?

I've taken to listening to mine twice a day, once in the morning once at night. In the morning I have set my alarm for 25 mins early (then re-set it for the right time when I wake) and listen to it before I get up that time I tend to stay awake. I also listen as I go to sleep and then I tend to drift off.

bargainlil I'd get onto the FB group and ask Sue and James about the nightmares. I wondered if there was some mention of orbs or similar.

The iPod Touch question has been answered up thread somewhere I think.

I listened to session 2 last night for the first time, and I am not keen on it! There seemed to be talking in the background, which annoyed me, as I couldn't quite make out what they were saying. Also, I think session 1, was made for weight loss, all by its self, and will do this, but the other 2 sessions have been 'added on'?

So, I dont think I want the gastric band fitted now, and will carry on with session 1, as I like it, and can add what I need to the 2 tables

You know, I was thinking the same thing. I've done two sessions of part two and I don't like it. I wanted her to instruct me to do something and she never did. Do you think we can just stick to
Part one? It was working nicely.
