Approve for SNAPS



Recommended Posts

I apply once for SNAPS and I only got it as an emergency. It was a one time thing & I was thinking I was officially approve. I reapply and it took over 3 months nothing happen. I said 3 strike and I'm out. Let me try for the 3rd time.

I'm finally & officially approve. My teenager is so happy. We can finally go grocery shopping for everything we need. I was budgeting grocery so I haven't had a lot of meat in a while. Just buying here & there. It's like winning the lottery:) this time I got even more then the one time I got approve.

We are shopping next Thursday. Just my teenager & I. She gets off from school 2 days since its testing week. So the small babies will be in school. I can finally buy some Vitamin shake to stabilize my weight & put nutrition in my body.

Thanks yes a piece of fruit is more expensive then a bag of chips. In a way I don't blame sociality for the over weight issues we have.

Awesome! You can buy some Protein powders and bars with it, As long as the label reads "Nutrition Facts" and

not "Supplement Facts" it is considered a food and can be purchased with EBT.

Jessica. can't wait to start this journey. Approved, waiting on a date!!!

I hear ya, if it wasn't for getting snap, we wouldn't get to eat like we do, not that we eat great. But the cost of anything good for you, fresh meats, fruits and veggies are soooo expensive. Curious what state are you in?

      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.
