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?

      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.
