About this listen

At last the CD audio programme is now available as a download. Do you want to lose weight? Have you tried diets and failed? Do you want a completely new approach? A gastric band is a radical, surgical operation that reduces the available space in the stomach.

Paul McKenna's hypnotic gastric band is a psychological procedure that can help to convince the unconscious mind that a gastric band has been fitted, so the body behaves exactly as if it were physically present. How does it work? The system consists of an introductory explanation and then a hypnotic trance that helps your unconscious mind and your body to believe your stomach is smaller. It will provide complete support for physical and psychological change whilst you lose weight. There's no physical surgery, no scarring and no forbidden foods. Just follow all the instructions and let Paul help you lose weight.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

It worked for me. I found 2 meals a day was enough and stopped snacking. I was obsessed with eating chocolate daily but since day 1, I haven’t wanted any chocolate at all (and it’s Easter!)

I stopped eating chocolate

This seems to be working. I havent lost any weight yet but I dont seem to eat for eating's sake any more. I can now leave food on my plate when I feel full without feeling that I have to finish it. It also makes me sleep very well. Only thing I would change is that it wakes you up at the end of the session. Would rather it leave me asleep as I always listen to it in bed.

Pleasantly surprised

I have struggled with my weight for decades, and I know my huge downfalls are sweet things and bingeing on snacks. Once I start, I keep going and stuff up my whole day. I repeat the process far too often. I tried a subscription app that seemed promising, offering hypnotherapy if you listened each night for fifteen minutes. But looking into the reviews, I saw it was common for people to have problems with the app not working the way it should. They were also sending me emails every day which I found irritating. I cancelled the subscription during the free trial and decided to try this instead.

It’s been about a week. What I’m amazed about, and really conscious of, is my desire for snacks has disappeared. I’m not really feeling the sense of a virtual gastric band that much, although I’m stopping eating a little earlier. But I don’t go hunting for, or get influenced by something that isn’t really going to help me, like another piece of chocolate or just another lolly snake, or just a handful of cashews. My problem is that I usually then go back for a few more until I’ve had way too much. The need is just not there.

It’s early days, and I’m hopeful. I’m listening every few days at this point to really embed it. I read the digital booklet and listened to chapter one three times before starting to listen to chapter two. Much better value than the ongoing app. I bought myself a pillow speaker to make it more comfortable.

Seems to be helping me to stop snacking

It took a few weeks of listening every night to notice the changes. I LOVE that with regular listening I feel full quickly at each meal. It's up to you to change your diet feeling full quickly is great but if you continue to eat badly it is a band-aid. I have now been listening to chapter 2 of the hypnosis at least 3 times a week for over a year. An unexpected and very happy result is the amazing sleep I have when listening to this at bed time. I think I listen more for the sound sleep with the fullness as a bonus.

Happy with the results.

I have previously purchased books from Paul McKenna and the intelligence one has worked for me, helping me get through some horrible exams. SO I gave this a try with my Audible credit.
The hypnosis is not recorded in stereo which is needed for the dual suggestions (where Paul says different things to the left and right sides of the brain). This makes a difference to me through it should works fine anyway, for me, its annoying. The effects having it in stereo really takes me into trance whereas mono, I seem to stay detached.
Otherwise I am happy enough until my book comes. I bought the book to get the stereo recording.
YOU DO need to look at the download leaflet as you need to visualise the operation. DO not skip this step or the hypnosis will be less effective.

Great but one flaw buying through Audible

In the first few sentences Paul talks about a booklet that we need to read before listening on, where is that? Why isn’t it part of the book we bought?

Great but

Unfortunately not in stereo, which means that the hypnosis is not playing separate words in each ear as it is meant to - as with binaural beats, this is an important missing aspect.
