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 wondered how long it would be before there was a rebellion I agree, am very about the diet chef bull

I haven't seen that bit. I just tend to stick to my own thing. I'm going back to the first part. I found the visiting the surgeon and shaking his hand too far fetched.

Checking In, to see if any of this codswollop actually works before wasting £7.49

I'm know what you mean about diet chef, but im giving them the benefit of the doubt that they are just flying a kite with it so to speak. And as for sticking with part one, well I also wasn't keen on part two, but thought, well, all I have to do is listen to it for two weeks. So I did, and it works. Maybe not listening to it would work too, butI didnt want to take the risk! There is no mention of any diet, let alone diet chef in any of the three parts so no need to avoid on that score.

I was taken out to my favourite restaurant last night, had Brie in Serrano ham, lemon sole and vodka jelly and a bucket of Chardonnay.weighed myself this morning and lost a other pound, happy days! Also fitted into my size 16s on my. Birthday, hurrah!

I really thank that's a bit harsh Divster. They are entitled to make a living, and the app really is good and helpful and worth every penny and more in my opinion. The Skype sessions are not required, just an option if you want it, I haven't found them necessary but see noI harm in them being offered at all. It's cheaper than bloody weight watchers anyway!

I agree with glasto - I think the app is amazing value for money and the fact that Sue & James give personal feedback to the questions posted on FB is so "over and above" - and it's free. You wouldn't get that if you buy any other book or CD. They have come up with a really good product - that works and they're selling at a reasonable price. I've had my monies worth ten times over already. To be honest, if they did start charging for add ons I would think that was fair enough - they are running a business - no-one has to buy them as the app can stand alone.

re: Part 2 - I didn't like it very much either so I supplemented it by listening to part 1 every few days. I found part 3 much better but that said by far my favourite is part 1. I have finished listening to all 3 parts now and every few days I listen to part 1 for a little top up.

Soooo just downloaded app need ti have a good look through it but what are your tops tips for this newbie?!

Bargainlil, I am now petrified of listening to parts two and three!
I had a sneaky 5 second listen to part 2 last night and for some it sounds a bit strange. I don't know if it was the tone of her voice or the birds in the background but it freaked me out.

You know what it is, I am not sure I want to pretend to be anywhere other than where I actually am. I am scared of that step up!

Glastocat, you are amazing!!!!

I listened for the second time to part 2 and started to enjoy it. My favourite beach and then into an old fashioned walled garden like the Secret Garden. Then I fell asleep .

Had a bad food moment though. Still not as bad as before but I was starving.

I listened again last night and I did fall asleep or into a trance anyway as I did wake up when I was told to Haven't noticed anything amazingly unusual with my habits, but will keep going and see what happens, its only been 2 days of this.

I know you move to session 2 after 2 wks & 2lbs. The you go onto session 3 after 2 more weeks SMS 8lbs.

Does the 8lb weight loss include the 2ilbs or is it in addition?

It's 8lbs in total I think.

Thanks

I think when I listen to part 2 - the place I go to reminds me of heaven (not been there of course - but I imagine it to be a beautiful & relaxing place :-)

I see my Mum who died 2 years ago on the bench - so I think there must be a connection there with my dream & the orb later in the night. I'm not normally into all this psychic stuff - but that's the only explanation I can think of?

Anyway, I have stopped listening at night so that I don't have these dreams but happy to report I weighed in this morning with an amazing 10lb loss in the last 3 weeks - very very happy with that! I had been following the Nerys & India Idiot proof diet & had seriously stalled for months; I'm still sticking to low carb but with far far less on my plate! Happy Days xx

wow bargainlil well done!

Sounds like most of us are doing well. :) A shame to see the Diet Chef stuff kick off, it sounds like it was a complete misunderstanding from the FB page.

I only weigh on Tuesdays but these past few days (after listening to session 1 for a couple of weeks but not yet having moved to session 2) I do feel in much better control of my eating.

I'm usually someone who seems to go into a trance to eat, I suddenly 'come to' and realised I have demolished a whole load of cheese and some biscuits and a couple of slices of bread and... well, you get the picture, but this hasn't happened recently and it feels great.

Started today .
Sunday morning lie in ( with that nice lady talking to me )
See how I go .
Feel it's worth a try as I have no will power and need to lose about 2 stone

I downloaded the app a few weeks ago and today decided that in order for it to work I really ought to listen to it.

I lost 5.5 stone a few years ago and put it all back on and more, I've since lost 2 stone of it but still have a very long way to go.
I liked pt 1 but I like being hypnotised anyway.

How is everyone doing?

I've lost 2lbs in the first week - That included a pigged out roast meal and really delicious pudding - although I didn't eat again that day. and I also had a couple of pints of shandy.

so all in all I'm a happy camper

Weird feeling this hungry malarky - I've always gone by my eyes, brain and the clock, hence my being over weight.

and to actually be able to leave food is quite liberating.

I downloaded it yesterday and listened in bed last night, I fell asleep after the countdown!!

Bit worried that I might start clucking like a chicken and rip all my clothes off if someone rings my doorbell ....

I have to jump in here. New to the boards actually. I bought the app for my ipad about 10 weeks or so ago and to date I have lost over 8 kilos in weight, AND I've been on holiday during that time for two weeks (gone to Canada to my daughter's wedding, etc.). I have to say that it's been relatively painless for me. I highly recommend it to anyone. I've had regular hypnosis for weight loss before, which did work at the time, but was very expensive in comparison. To make a long story short, lost job, had to move, etc. lots of stress and so the weight came back on. In January of this year I signed up for a person up North where I am who claimed to be qualified etc. but it was going to cost a whole lot of money. I did go intitially but it ended up being a bit of a farce. We got the ipad and I saw this app advertized and thought I would give it a go. It is the best £7.49 I have ever spent in my life. If you are serious about weight loss and willing to listen to it every day and give it your full attention, it WILL work, and it's painless. No cravings and you can eat whatever you want. Best part is . . . you just won't want what you used to want and you won't want to eat near as much as you used to want to eat. In short. It works.
