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?

How's everyone doing? Ive lost 9 pounds since starting this and am now 3 days in to session 3 - all good so far

Arfur that's brilliant! I've lost 2 stone and 3 lbs now and I couldn't be happier. This has been the best weight loss programme I've ever done. I think the Face book support group is just great too.
Thanks to Cerealqueen who first posted about this app! You did us all a great favour.
I've just got the nail biting app that these people have out and guess what? It works as well as their Gastric band app! My nails are already growing and it's only been a week!

Wow well done luckyme! How often do you listen to the app now? I do worry a bit that at the 'end' of the daily sessions I'll go off the rails but at the moment I honestly feel like I've changed for good - such a relief

Wow I've just moved onto session 2 - after losing my 2lbs (But i waited a week to weigh?) - this session you stay on for 2 weeks? then can't move on till 8lb loss..

I'm finding I am leaving food doing smaller portions/drinking more water.... hasnt stopped all my snacking/picking but that might be as I am currently a SAHM that is frustrated by this! I was working FT till end of March when I got made redundant and find being at home a struggle..... I'm still trying though and sticking to program!

Thanks somerandom found FB group now added - avid reader not posted yet (too public for me yet!)

Has everyone disappeared from this thread? I'm dying to know how much everyone has lost.

methsdrinker, I was thinking exactly the same. I wonder if everyone has joined the Facebook group and they're posting on there. The people have lost so much weight and it's really nice getting all the support and advice you get from everyone on there. The people who made the app post on there too, it's really helpful.

I've lost 2 stone 4 lbs now and seem to lose anything between 1 and 2 lbs per week on average so I'm chuffed with that. Haven't had any biscuits, cake or rubbishy food for weeks and feel so much better for it. I think you could safely say I'm a very satisfied customer!

I even bought their nail biting app and my nails are looking fab now too. (or maybe it's the Virtual Gastric Band app that's stopping me wanting to eat my finger nails!! LOL).

How's everyone else on here doing?

Due to great comments on here I have got the app and in 6 days I have lost 4.5 lbs. I think its really helped me. I don't want to join the Facebook site as don't particularly want everyone on my friends list to know I'm on on another mission to slim . I want to surprise them in a couple of months.

I think you're right that a lot of people have moved over to FB group - that's where I've been mainly (although I do like to pop back in here from time to time). I miss the anonymity of this thread and I felt more able to talk about my thoughts and feelings etc here - but the FB thread has got the advantage of getting up to date ino from Sue and James and being able to get your questions answered by them. methsdrinker - the FB group is a closed group so your friends won't see your posts or even know you're a member of the group.

Update - I've lost 13kg since May and well into my healthy weight band - I've listened to all 3 stages and now I'm just listening to part 1 once or twice a week. I'm still losing a steady kilo a week. I can hardly believe how well it's working.

Ooh that's 28 lb that's 2 stone wow . Ive just done 1 week and I have lost
7.5 lbs my weigh in day is Monday. I lost 3lb overnight. So chuffed. I also feel full really quickly. I will pick up the courage and might join but probably not I might just stay on here and whitter to myself. Are you doing a diet or just healthy eating. I have just cut down and lived on salad fish etc and loved it . Weird!!!! I am crossing fingers and my wide middle toes that this might be as easy as I found giving up cigs once I was hypnotised all those years ago. Thanks for the update.

7 1/2 lb in a week ! That's incredible - you must be so pleased. I think it will work well for you. (LOL @ wide middle toes)

I have honestly found it so (ridiculously) easy & felt it was going to work right from the beginning. When I first started posting on here in May I was aiming to lose 9kg - can't believe it's now 13kg (and still going...) I've only ever lost weight to the extent of the smallest thing in my wardrobe before & now I'm having to buy smaller sizes - I'm quite skint at the moment so everything has been from Charity Shops but it's been good fun.

I think I'll pop back here more often - Although I do post from time to time on the FB group I feel more free to witter on here (and I do like a good witter) . I'll let you know if there's anything exciting going on in the FB group.

Restarted again Saturday and have lost 5lb as of this morning. I'm really motivated and the app is definitely helping. Only another 2 stone to go

Can anyone help me? I've downloaded the app into iTunes on my computer, but it won't let me drag and drop into my iPod. How do I get it onto my iPod pleeeeease help

I have googled and worked it out

Hi hhh, it's a good job you googled as I wouldn't have had a clue. I have n't lost anything since Monday, which is how I usually go on in a diet sensible eating plans . I usually get peed off and give up. So this is the test. Well done stone. Go for it. I am off for water .

I have lost a further 2 lb which is a miracle. I am off to Ireland for a week so that's another test . I have also been on my bike which is an apparition that is sure to put the fear of god into many a person on a dark night .

Just started to listen to this , only problem is that I struggle to concentrate always seem to find at some point I'm thinking about something else!Also often get interrupted by children, dh,dig,doorbell etc

I do not have an ipad or anything...does this mean I cannot get the App? Sounds so good as well.

Can I get it anywhere else ?

bell - there's a CD version of it or you can get an MP3 download.

This didn't work for me at all, but I'm very pleased to see the updates from those who are having success with it.

Oh thank you - will look for the cd now...

bell - if you join the Facebook group they'll help you find it from there. I don't want to try to link to it for you in case I link the wrong product . I know you can the official one on ebay but there are probably lots of other versions too. Join the FB group and ask for the direct link.

Good luck!

Thank you! WIll do

Hello Virtuals,

I bought the app today (£3.99) after reading a lot of this thread.

I have 4 3 stone to lose. 3 to get me to my pre baby weight (they are now 4 and 7), 3.5 to get me to my in between my babies weight and 4 to get me to my age 25 weight.

People who have been doing this for over a month, how much weight have you lost? I'm asking because I've been on various plans and do well for a month then lose interest and gain the weight again.

Oh my scales are broken but I got a shocker yesterday when I weighed in at the swimming club changing room.

We go swimming once or twice a week as a family so will do my weigh ins there. I don't want to buy knew scales as before my scales broke, I was a daily weigher.

I have been trying this for 2 weeks and have gained a lb.
