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.

Oh ok :) I do think in regular market you can purchase because it's food like shake.< /p>

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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
