    Default Tried Hypnosis?

    Hey just wondering if anyone tried hypnosis for weight loss before getting sleeved. I guess if it had worked you wouldn’t need the sleeve. But has anyone experienced losing weight, or know someone that did it through hypnosis? Just something I've been wondering.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Yes, I tried it about 20 yrs ago. I'm not sure I let myself go all the way under, as no one has been able to hypnotize me since so I might not be a good representative but it did nothing for me. I remember that they gave all kinds of suggestions like if I were to crave cake I'd see ants crawling out of it. Kind of glad I was still aware because it's not the kind of thing I'd want in my subconscious mind anyway.
    I think I'd try if it were to boost my self confidence and other positive re-enforcement suggestions like "you will notice you feel best when you eat lots of protein" (which I know anyway) but I'd want to know what they were going to say first.
    Best NSV - fitting on a kid's amusement park ride with my 4 yr old grandson!
    CFIDS =Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) Also dx with post-bariatric reactive hypoglycemia; and chronic gastritis (both sleeve complications). Permanently disabled.
    Start weight 335, down to 218, up during gastritis. Have accepted there is no way to lose it with my hypoglycemia. Current weight 260. Currently doing 10 day sleeve reset and determined to get back down to my post surgical weight or close to it.

    I was always afraid the hypnotist would ask me to rob a bank and I would do it. Trust issues...
