Protien Drinks And Ebt



Recommended Posts

M not posting this to get any negative feed back, as it is a very touchy subject. But this needs to be said because for some, it may be the only way one can afford to buy the protien drinks that are so costly. There is only one store that I know of if you have EBT. If you have an EBT card, you'll know what I'm talking about. Only at Walmart can you buy the K2o Protein Water packet, and the protien powder and bars with EBT/SNAP. I hope that this may help those who may not be able to get the powder on their own.

I wouldn't know because I haven't try to purchase it with the SNAPS. I can't even stand Protein Shakes anymore. Are you in need if Protein shakes? I have a bunch but I think you are very far from me. I have the Atkins mocha latte shake in packs of 4. I also have Protein Shots fruit punch. I went crazy stacking up to only have it sitting on my pantry.

If I misread the post sorry. If anyone else on here live in new York city area and is in need of Protein Shake let me know. FREE! If im going to donate it to the salvation army they gonna make money off it. I rather have someone from here pick it up and we both will be happy. I get rid of it & I save someone lots of money. This offer is until December. I must get rid of it to make space for other stuff.

I hanks Mami, but I'm not able to do them without getting sick. I get most of mine from food now. It was just something I was reading about on a site, and thought it might be helpful.

I know!! Most stores won't cover the Protein Water or bars. The glucerna carb smart Protein Drinks are very good, sugar free, pack tons of protein and are covered!! It's not frothy and chalky like the powders. It tastes great. I have taken them out with me when I was busy. They are really filling.

The reason other stores won't cover it, is because it is considered a supplement not food.< /p>

if the store takes snaps and the product is labeled nutritional facts not suppliment then you can buy it with snaps. if they say no ask for the manager because they pup it in the computer wrong. albertson's and safeway, fred meijer, meijers, kroger all accept snaps for their protien labeled nutritional information. this is a very important subject, because not everyone is able to work that have this surgery, some of us are on social securiety and rely on snap to feed our families. thank you chaotica for bring this subject up!

Great subject!

I had always been buying my body fortress Protein Powder at Walmart with ebt and now all the sudden it's not covered...I spoke to the manager but she was of no help neither was the email to Walmart. Right now I get some Protein in by drinking carnation instant Breakfast so that I don't have to buy the protein powder. I wish that they would do something about that because it could get rather costly. I am fortunate not to be so bad where I can't buy the protein right now but that could change and I'm sure plenty of people struggle with this!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
