Hypnotic Regression for Post-Pops = Extra Lbs. Lost???

Cross-post from the main forum * * * * * * A friend of mine on here has told me of the great successes she has had in the past with different personal problems using an accomplished local hypnotherapist.    This got me to thinking:   being that I've bottomed out still a good 70 lbs. short of my goal, am in fact re-gaiing some (15 lbs. so far), and with both those undesireables being in great part due to my eating larger amounts of food now (sleeve must be stretched out!) and many of the "wrong" ones @ 16 months out, I am wondering if a good hympnotherapist could "regress" me mentally to the time I was a very recent post-op, along with all my food dislikes and the "natural limitations" during that period .    I know those unpleasant memories are still there, just buried deep down by now .   This might just do the trick to get me back on the losing track and finally even down to or close to goal, with repeated sessions, if necessary.   What do ya'll think of this idea?   Have you had success with hympnosis for weight loss in the past, esp. as a post-op?

I quit smoking 13 yeas ago by hypnosis. Weight loss may also be possible.

A reputable hypnotist will check to make sure you are susceptible to suggestion before taking money from you. I had a lot of success with hypnotherapy. I went to an actual therapist who specialized in relaxation techniques through hypnosis. It worked for anxiety, and in turn, I did less emotional eating. A few of the techniques I have heard about are the suggestions that some foods taste like things that they are not. If you have a problem with overeating fried foods, for example, the hypnotist will suggest to you that french fries taste like dirt. Or chocolate tastes like it has insects in it! I suppose that would keep me from wanting those things! I think our minds are capable of so much more than we realize. You have to believe in a mind/body connection in order for hypnosis to really work for you, I found.  I would recommend it. If you have access to a reputable hypnotherapist, I would most definitely look into it. Good luck! Nicci

thanks for the advice, Nicci ...    (wow four month delay there - I had almost forgotten about this post!)     I figured that was kind of how adversion therapy worked ..   I could think of some real horrible things the hypno. could make me think I'm eating, like beets  ..    &;-o~~ ~ ~   (btw, why is your username on your profile "SickNic"?    you look pretty healthy to me!)

I hadn't noticed the date when I posted to it! I realized it afterward, but thought, "Eh, why not!?" Right?!  Maybe someone will benefit from it, anyhoo. I hypnotize myself every night as I lie in bed. Until my hubby starts patting my rump and stuff, of course.      I have my technique down to where I can be totally relaxed in a matter of minutes. ****il the rump patting, again.) The name...well, I had lapband surgery in 2003. It was a damn, dirty nightmare from the get go. It was like living in Hell, seriously. I had so many complications from surgical error that I thought I'd never be well again. Had the band removed and I am on my own now. I recently found a new doc who has helped me tremendously. I am finally starting to feel much better FINALLY. It's a relief!  I might have to look into changing my username soon! Nicci
