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 fall asleep everytime

Ah, cheers, will go back o part 1, those were the days Glastonbury eh ,,!!

Had major binge last night nothing seems to work for me

Ah stones sorry to hear that. Maybe try doing old school Atkins,I know it is the only thing that works for me? By old school I mean only meat fish eggs cheese and veg, it sounds tough but you just lose all appetite and cravings, it isn't difficult at all.

Anyway, I had another sneaky weigh in and I have lost another two pounds! So that's 20lbs in 3 1/2 weeks, chuffing hell! My jeans are falling off me! Very happy indeed!

20lbs in three weeks! You must be so delighted Glastocat. I have lost 12lbs so far. I am loving part two, it is so relaxing. I usually drift off during some part of it.

I am sorry it is not working for you Stones.

Hi all. Seems like theres some great results.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a similar app for an android phone as I'd really like to try it :-)

Whats your typical daily menu G?

Hi All - lost another 1.2 kg since I last posted. That's 3.5 kg since I started listening - so just a smidgen short of the 8 lb I need to lose before going on to part 3. I now weigh less than I have in at least 5 years (probably much longer) and still feel really motivated. Like you clickyballpoint I feel that I could keep on going.

6kg to go to get to the top end of healthy weight.

Well done everyone - some really impressive results.

Sorry huffpot don't know a similar android app but will keep an eye out. Luckily DS got an iPod touch a few Christmases ago and I've commandeered it he's kindly allowed me to use it.

Stoney I always have eggs for breakfast, boiled, poached scrambled, or an omelette. If I'm hungry I will have some ham or smoked salmon too, or the odd rasher (aldi does lovely salmon in little packs, very handy! For lunch I am at the mercy of the staff canteen, so its usually whatever protein (chicken is on every day so that is my fail safe) and a salad. For dinner I usually have protein and veg, followed by a sugar free jelly. Sometimes I have a big bowl of home mad soup. If I need a snack I will have some cheese, or devilled eggs, or cold meats. It sounds strict, but I find it much easier to do that way, as my appetite pretty much vanishes. When I start getting bored I will start adding in berries and maybe some yoghurt, and see how I go with that, I will have to read my book again to see what I am allowed.

home made, not home mad

Oh and I am drinking at least 2 litres of water a day, all that protein is tough on the kidneys I believe.

Hello all,
I am very excited by the sound of this but I can't work out how to update the operating system on my Iphone 3g. Can anyone help?

Mumsnet get a mention on their app now lol

capricorn you connect your phone to your pc then update it via iTunes - it will take you through step by step. Make sure that you back up your phone so any apps go back on when you update.

Hello All, it's been a while - battling with a non sleeping DD2 who is now ill.....I have not listened to the App for a week or so as I've been knackeded.

Anyway, lots of lovely success stories to spur me on. I've lost half a stone and can get into my dress for the wedding, hurrah! I'll still need some 'pull it all in' knickers so would like to lose an extra half stone just so the dress looks nice.

I have noticed how the weight loss slows when I'm not listening to it, I'm still on part 1 and the loss for the last week when I was beginning to miss evenings was half what it was the first week so anybody new, please keep at it and try not to be distracted!!

How's everyone doing?

I've definitely lost a stone now.
I'm a few days into the second session now, and wake up every morning wanting to go for a walk - unheard of for me :o
I had a window shop in fat face the other day, and instead of coming out feeling fat and disgusting, I actually felt really positive, as I know that in the not-too-distant future, I'll fit in anything I like.

I have been lurking for a while, reading all your posts and, inspired by all the amazing results you all seem to have had, have given in and bought the app. I hope you don't mind me posting but I wanted to join in too! I've put on so much weight since I met my husband 10 years ago. I need to lose around 3.5/4st. I'm hoping this app might help me get it off once and for all. Wish me luck

Good luck aishabon. I have lost 15lbs so far in a month. I have the same amount to lose as you.

Well so far so good for my first day. I haven't been snacking at all and have only had 3 cups of coffee so far (I would normally be on about cup number 6 by now!) it seems to be working. I'm liking taking pictures of my meals too. I think that's what's helped with not snacking. I think to myself 'will I be annoyed with myself if I see a picture of that on my food diary at the end of the day' if the answers yes then I'm not eating it!
Keep going as you are jelly!! 15lbs?!!! I hope I've kept it up as well as you in a months time! That's fantastic!

Have lost another 0.6 kg since Monday which brings me to enough weight loss to start part 3. Just listened to it for the first time and I love it - found it much easier to relax than with part 2 - ( couldn't ever quite get my head around the bridge to balcony thing - it still worked though). I feel really positive. Getting within the healthy weight range feels within reach now for the first time in years.

welcome aishabon sounds like you've made a great start.

Well I only lost a pound this week, I reckon my body is just catching up with itself after losing so much so quickly, and I had my period too. I am still finding it all very easy! I have also started stage three, and the dishy doctor has a lovely voice, but I am not sure if I have actually 'had' the surgery yet as I am crashing out way before the end every time! The app would be worth it for the naps alone I reckon!

So..i'm thinking about cheating and jumping to part 3, i've listened to part 1 and 2 and have lost 3 pounds, i know we are meant to not move on until we have lost a total of 8 BUT i'm only aiming to lose because i cant be arsed another 8-10 pounds, what do people reckon, am i foolish?

I think you would be mad awaywego, the other bits work really well to help you lose weight, and the third part reinforces parts one and two so not even sure part 3 would work on its own without the preliminaries? You are meant to do part one and two for a minimum of two weeks each regardless of how much you need to lose, so why cheat when you will lose weight while yo uare doing them?

Sorry, should have said i have already done them both for 2 weeks each,but just haven't lost 8 pounds iyswim.

Any chance in the future of it being released on Android?
