Virtual Gastric Band App - anyone successful lost weight and conquered emotional eating?

[felttippens]

Yet again Im looking around for weight loss methods - wanting to avoid the diet mentality but Im getting nowhere fast with my over drinking, over eating habits. Came across this and the reviews are excellent.

Just wondered if any mumsnetters had given it a go/??

There was a lengthy thread about it, perhaps 2 years ago. Some people were successful although I don't know about long term success.
I downloaded it, listened as instructed for about 2 months, and joined the FB group, but it didn't help me at all.
There's a food guide that comes with the app but when I read it, to me it was just like reading about a diet.
Hopefully someone will come along who had success with it to balance my opinion!

I found the old thread - assume this is the same app you're referring to?

The Paul McKenna thread is good. Some of us do his Gastric band method and some just do mindful eating. It works definitely and the reason it stops working is when people stop eating mindfully .

I have been listening since Tue 10 March and have lost weight in that time. I'm finding my choices are healthier generally and I'm not feeling so hungry all the time; so am snacking less. Also seem to feel fuller quicker. I'm trying not think about if it's because listening to the app in the mornings and before bed is making me think more carefully or if it's actually hypno-working. Either way the results seem to be weight loss and more mindful eating. So defo not going to complain, and tbh I fall asleep during the night one I am sure...sleeping quite well too!
