"sensa"sprinkles Along With Lap Band



Recommended Posts

I was just curious...has anyone tried the SENSA sprinkles along with your lap band? I have 15 lbs more to lose but i don't want to get another fill. I've already lost 83 lbs with the band itself.

If you google SENSA, you'll find all kinds of reviews why they don't work. I'm sure the makers of SENSA can tell you how and why they DO work, but I wouldn't trust it. I wouldn't waste my money. Just my opinion. Why don't you want another fill?

These things NEVER work. But its just so enticing. Seriously, why not try it if you want to? If you can afford to spend the money whatever the outcome, then why not?

I'm very intrigued by a product here called Slimstix, lol. I just want to lose 5lb.

And...... this is on a whole nother scale, but I've recently been prescribed testosterone cream - I have very low blood testosterone levels (way below normal) and am having all sorts of problems because of it, but the main thing I've noticed is very obvious loss of muscle and strenght and a very obvious (albeing small, not registering on the scale) gain of belly fat. Of course I want my libido back, my bone density to improve, my mood to be better and all that, but what I'm really hoping to see is a flatter belly, lol.

I hate going for the "fills" cause it always seems like i have to argue with the doctor about it not being tight enough. I've gotten at least 8 fills since August 2011 when I had the surgery. I LOVE MY BAND. I've lost 83 pounds and I'm 15 lbs away from my goal. But I dread the fills. Plus the barium gives me diarrhea (sorry).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
