Hypnosis Gastric Band Surgery
The mind is so complex and is one of the reasons why we are always finding out new abilities. It has been said that we only use 10-15% of our brain’s capacity. Whether that is true or not, it does highlight the fact that we have much to learn about our brain and the mind.

In the last few years a discovery that can add to our belief that we don’t fully realise the power of the mind is its use with a mental version of the gastric band surgery bypass. An article in a UK daily newspaper described a hypnotherapy client’s experience in Spain, and how successful this approach to weight-loss had worked. The client shown in the article successfully responded to a hypnosis-induced version of the gastric band surgery. Now more and more hypnotherapists are training to be able to offer their clients this service.

What does the real Gastric Band Surgery Bypass achieve?
The physical operation for this procedure requires a band to be placed around the upper part of the stomach. The band when filled, slows the transit of digested food into the stomach. By doing this, the brain receives a signal from the stomach saying that it is full and the person will stop eating.

A person who has the gastric band fitted loses weight by getting a feeling of being satisfied quicker than they would otherwise have felt. This in turn leads to them eating less and they lose weight as a consequence.

Hypnosis Gastric Band Surgery Bypass
Steven Harold, your London Hypnotherapist has attended training from Dr. Keith Hearne of the European College of Hypnotherapy. Typically 3 to 5 sessions of hypnosis are required. During these sessions, suggestions are provided that assist your imagination that you are having the gastric band surgery. Generally clients say  that they notice similar “full up” sensations that others who have had the surgery have experienced. They feel satiated earlier than usual, eat less and lose weight.

Intriguingly, the hypnosis version of gastric band surgery may be effective even though the person having is consciously aware that they have not gone through actual physical gastric band surgery.

Is this the Hypnosis Gastric Band right for ?
The hypnosis gastric band sessions are aimed at those who have stones rather than just pounds to lose. As a rough guide anyone with 2 or more stone of excess weight may consider this type of hypnotherapy approach.

It is important to mention that you have psychological causes for excess weight. Issues around guilt, low confidence, low esteem, abuse and others from past events may have led to someone having an unhealthy relationship with food. As a part of the perparation for the hypnosis gastric band, these aspects will be investigated.

Please Note. It’s crucial to be aware that weight loss occurs through two main actions, the reduction in food digested (plus eating healthier foods), and exercise. These two aspects are the main pillars of any hypnotherapy sessions for weight loss. The goal of these hypnotherapy sessions is to provide extra support in addition to what you are prepared to do to help your weight issue which includes your willpower. It’s important to seek the support of your doctor before making any sudden changes to your lifestyle.

Anyone with a weight problem really has a challenge because, unlike other habits like cigarette smoking or gambling, food isn’t something we can give up, because we need to eat in order to live. It takes a great degree of willpower on a daily basis, to stay focused on eating healthily – which has been proven again and again that it’s not easy, and mostly, diets simply don’t work.

Let’s face it, most of us have developed a love affair with food from the moment we discovered our mother’s nipple in our mouths and we were able to suck through the warming milk to fill our tiny tummies as a baby. From then on, food can have many associations with early life. Perhaps when you smell a special aroma from a certain dish being cooked, you are transported back to those early days in mummy’s or grandmother’s kitchen and, if you are lucky, this will bring back good feelings for you of comfort.

When we were very young, we had perfect eating patterns because we were totally connected to our bodies. We simply ate to live. We knew when we were hungry, which wasn’t necessarily at mealtimes, and how many times have you seen children leave the table with food still on their plates because their needs have been satisfied and their focus has now moved on to something else? Studies have shown that, if left alone, children will automatically be drawn to the food that contain the nutrients their bodies need.

Obesity in Adults and Children

So why are there more and more obese children, more obese adults than ever before and why is it that some people can eat well and healthily, and yet others eat too much or too little?

One reason can be because of the nurturing they received as children from their families and simply developed bad eating habits that have never been addressed. Another reason can be that there might have been a time when a person experienced something so uncomfortable, that they didn’t you didn’t know how to deal with it and found that by eating, it blocked the pain of the experience. People who eat too much have moved away from the state of eating to live, and are using food as a coping mechanism to block an ego state which is causing them some kind of emotional discomfort.

Emotional and Compulsive Eating

They have discovered by eating, the brain releases seratonin, their mood changes and suddenly they feel better about themselves. They have managed to escape from their present reality, temporarily recreating the feeling of comfort they had when they were young. Over time the brain grows more towards this coping mechanism, which then becomes a habit, and the addictive eater finds themselves compulsively zoning out and reaching out for food whenever a troubled ego state emerges. These troubled ego states may be experienced as loneliness, boredom, anger, frustration, depression, fear, abandonment.

It may get to a point where we don’t even know when we are hungry any more and may well point to their solar plexus when asked where we feel their hunger pains, rather than our stomach.

Healthy Eating and Hypnotherapy

Once you understand this concept, you will be a better position to acknowledge these feelings, often emanating from childhood. You can then with the guidance of an experienced hypnotherapist, express and release these damned up feelings. With hypnotherapy you can then start to resolve the underlying issues or traumas that you were holding onto. This provides the basis for a new relationship with food. A relationship of health and feeding physical hunger rather than emotional hunger

Through the use of hypnotherapy we can teach our body to recover its initial state, which is perfect for healthy functioning and easy weight control.

During my initial consultation with new clients, I always ask about the emotional drivers for eating and the foods they crave during these times. Not unsurprisingly – and unfortunately – no one says: “I am so depressed all I want right now is a nice healthy salad!”

It seems that when we feel bad, we want to distract ourselves from these feelings with foods that offer little or no nutritional value, even though the right – healthy -foods can have a positive effect on our mood. Instead, we tend to go for comfort foods that provide a quick fix, only to find this ‘high’ plummeting after a very short space of time, leaving us where we were before, or feeling even worse.

Because we’re not dealing with the real cause of our upset, but instead, distracting ourselves with food, once the initial high is gone, we’re left with the same emotion and need a distraction again – food. No wonder it is hard to lose weight and keep it off. But what is the solution?

Just as the dashboard on your car tells you when you need oil, water or petrol, your emotions can communicate your differing needs, too. They are signalling to you, calling out for action, but all you’re doing is shovelling in more food. So the emotions scream louder for action, you stuff down more food to distract yourself and the pounds keep piling on.

There are three important steps to breaking this cycle:

1) Identify the emotion
The primary emotions are anger, fear, sadness, guilt, stress, boredom and loneliness but it could be that your emotion is a variant of one of these. Generally if you are feeling frustration, it is because you have not dealt with one of the primary emotions and what you are doing is not working.

2) Identify the cause
This is really going to vary from person to person and situation to situation but let’s take an example. Mary is feeling guilty (the emotion) because she was irritable with her mother for no reason (the cause of the emotion).

3) Meet the need
What need is not being met? Guilt is crying out that things be made fair towards the other person. Previously, Mary simply reached for the chocolate when she felt guilty. But, because she did not identify the cause of the guilt and meet the real need, the guilt continued and so did the chocolate eating. So to meet the need Mary needs to make amends to her mother so that she no longer distracts from her guilt with chocolate.

As mentioned, emotions fall into these main types: sadness, loneliness, anger, guilt, boredom, stress and fear.

Frustration stems from those emotions not being sufficiently addressed in a positive way, and if the emotions continue to be ignored, the frustration increases and depression can ensue.

Whether we are feeling angry, or frustrated, or depressed, if we are not addressing the root cause then we may distract from the emotion with food, or suppress that emotion with food, or comfort ourselves with food (or something else). Since food does not solve the problem, the overeating continues as the need to keep distracting or suppressing or comforting persists. It is a vicious circle.

Negative emotion ==> Distract/suppress/comfort with food ==>
Frustration ==> Distract/suppress/comfort with food ==>
Depression ==> Distract/suppress/comfort with food ==>
Negative emotion ==> Distract/suppress/comfort with food
etc., etc., etc.

The way to avoid depression is to notice the originating negative emotion, identify it’s cause and resolve it in a constructive way (meet the need). In Mary’s case this was to make amends to her mother.

There are many emotional situations that cause a lot of us to reach for food to soothe and compensate. The following examples are a few of the most common we experience:

STRESS
As a natural occurrence, stress is actually necessary in order for us to be sufficiently motivated to get things done. However, negative stress has harmful consequences and occurs when the demands placed upon us are greater than our ability to deal with them.

Many people reach for food when they are stressed, but since no amount of chips, chocolate, cakes or anything else will ever help us to cope and take back control of our lives (if anything it will make it worse because overeating, especially of the wrong things, makes us lethargic) it is important to recognise that you are feeling stressed and find a way of managing it in order to get rid of the feeling.

Typically, managing stress involves learning to say no, becoming more assertive, learning how to work smarter, not harder and allowing for 80 percent perfection. This 100 percent business is significantly over-rated!

SADNESS
Sadness is described as a normal emotional reaction to the loss, or anticipated loss of access to a valued friend, loved one or cherished possession. Often confused with depression, it is usually experienced as emptiness. This emotion is telling us that something needs to be replaced, and it’s all too easy to do this with food. But how much food will fill the void of losing a loved one? How much chocolate does it take to replace a friend who has emigrated?

Once you have recognised that you have an urge to eat because of sadness, ask yourself what it is that you have lost and either get it back or replace it. If the sadness is about bereavement, of course you can’t get your loved one back, but you can find another relationship where you feel a sense of connection, support and companionship. It may not be the same or have the same intensity, but it will be a lot more effective at filling the void than junk food could ever be.

ANGER
Anger is a strong reaction to an injustice or a feeling that someone has contravened one of your values. And the cure? Well, you won’t find justice at the bottom of a biscuit tin! Anger is trying to tell you that things need to be put right, or made fair. So, instead of reaching for the biscuits, try and recognise where the anger is coming from and take appropriate action for it.

Angela’s husband never helps around the house whereas she works a full-time job, gets home, prepares dinner, then sets to work on the household chores before she can relax. Instead of speaking to her husband about helping her around the house, she stuffs down her emotions by reaching for sugary snacks. Because the problem persists as she isn’t dealing with it, she notices that her eating is getting out of control as she tries to control her emotions.

We, and women in particular, are often taught that anger is bad. However, anger in itself is not bad but what you do with it that matters. If the energy of anger is used in a positive way, it can protect us, ensuring that we are not taken advantage of. For example, Angela’s anger towards her husband is currently channelled into eating. Unhelpful. It might otherwise have been channelled into shouting at him. Also unhelpful. However, she could simply channel this energy into asking him to help her with the chores with an air of cheery optimism. This will be a positive influence on him and will more likely get the result she wants.

GUILT
Guilt is the anger we feel towards ourselves for being unfair to someone else. Again, no amount of food is going to combat this feeling. Guilt is calling out for you to make amends for a wrong that has been done by you. Sometimes, our ability to right that wrong with the “victim” is not possible for some reason. They may have passed away, or moved to a new city or country. However, it is possible to dispel that guilt by doing something good elsewhere. Doing a good deed for others is a great healer and a wonderful way to feel good about yourself.

We all make mistakes, say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing from time to time – we’re all human. However, by correcting that mistake with an apology, or a good deed, we can ease the guilt that consumes us because consuming food will never achieve that for us.

LONELINESS
We can be alone without feeling lonely yet there are times when we can experience terrible loneliness in a room full of people. This is caused by a lack of connection to others, not a lack of contact. Often this lack of connection is caused by a lack of connection to ourselves. Excessive eating simply serves to widen the gap.

To feel a stronger sense of connection – a basic human need – learn to love yourself. What qualities do you have that you can appreciate? What do other people like about you? Start to make a connection with others, be interested in other people and they will connect with you.

Remember, food is just nutrition. It isn’t love, company, comfort or support. By recognising your emotions and dealing with them in a positive way, you can overcome your cravings for foods and regain control of your life.

How Can Hypnotherapy Help
Hypnotherapy can help you neutralise the emotional drivers for eating so that you change your relationship with food. It will help you deal with your emotions in a more constructive way. In addition, it can help you develop a strong motivation for healthy food and exercise.

Now the mind/body system is very clever and ingenious. Not only is your mind running all your bodily functions without you having to give it a single thought, it has also set up a system whereby it can take on what are termed “subconscious programmes” that run or operate your more mundane behaviours so that you can free your mind up to think about more interesting matters. In some ways it is a bit like a computer (and that is no accident). There are programmes that run and you can see them on the screen, but behind them is the operating system with all the programmes that you can’t see. Without the latter, the former simply wouldn’t exist, you’d just be looking at a blank screen. Your mind has hidden programmes running too. The one we are interested in might be called “habit install” and the other important programme “habit sustain”. As your mind goes about its daily thinking it is always looking for shortcuts or information about you to make the whole system function better. If your mind notices that you are doing something regularly it sort of thinks “Ooh! I notice my person has started reading a book at bedtime to get to sleep. That’s every night for three weeks now. I think I’ll install a subconscious programme to make her automatically reach for that book without thinking. There, that’s a job well done for me!” Or another example might be “I’ve noticed my person is having two biscuits everyday with her (habitual) morning coffee. I’ll make that a habit too for her, then she won’t have to worry about doing it, it will happen all by itself” And that is exactly how it seems to you as you go about your life wondering why it is so hard to do this diet properly. All those habits are getting in the way and you don’t even feel you’re in control of them. Your habit files are full up with all the actions and behaviours that make your life run effortlessly for you. Most of the time it’s a nice, easy way to live and it helps you to conserve your mental and physical resources so you can really concentrate on the difficult things in your life.

There is a fly in this particular ointment. What about reversing these habits, is there a programme running to do that? Well, yes, there is, but you are not going to like the sound of it. Simply stopping the unwanted behaviour or doing the opposite or an alternative behaviour can reverse habits. “But that’s a swindle, you cry! I still have to just do it!” That is true, but now that you have more understanding of your inner mind and its workings, the real bonus is that you can approach changing them in a way that is less painful.

The worst possible way to try and change is to change everything at once. Your mind/body system is knocked sideways by this and the outcome as far as you are concerned is deep emotional and mental discomfort. You have lost all of your behavioural bearings and feel unaccountably strange! No wonder you end up throwing in the towel and scuttling back to those comfortable old habits, the ones you don’t have to think about. If you approach habit change in a methodical and sensible way (dull, I know, but worth it in the end) you can make it seem easy and safe. Start by making a list of your top twenty habits that you know, deep down, you have to change if you want to lose weight and become slim and healthy. Now rank them in order with number one the easiest to change and number twenty your real toughie. Put them in order on your list on the left hand side of a sheet of paper and then on the right hand side write an alternative behaviour or action that you would like to substitute. Now if I tell you that it takes a few weeks for your mind to recognise a new habit and dump an old one then you get an idea of a timescale for your changes. You see, you want it to be permanent and effective, not your usual impatient dash to change everything overnight. That usually fails, you know that already. You might want to allow two weeks for each change or you may want to do two easy ones at once, but don’t rush, that is not the point. You can judge how well you are doing by how happy and secure you feel about your new habits and making sure you are not accidentally defaulting to your old ways. When you no longer think about your old habit, it is completely in the past, you are safe to move on to the next challenge on your list, all the time minimizing your pain and discomfort and maximizing your chances of success. After all, the way to make dieting and losing weight easy is to make it enjoyable, then we unconsciously want to do more of it. Simple, but true. It is still a serious job of work to be done, but by working at a comfortable pace with your own habit changes you lay down the secure foundations for life change that you can do without conscious effort. In fact your new healthy habits will become automatic and that, in itself, is truly miraculous.
