Protien Drinks And Ebt



Recommended Posts

I understand, the powder along with Vitamins can really break someone. Try the glucerna carb smart shakes. They are coveted like ensure would be. Im sorry. Is there another Walmart you can go to?

Thanks, I'll give those a try. That is the only Walmart I can get to by public transportation.

Call 1-800-Wal-Mart and talk to them. Its considered as a food item and is covered under your SNAP card. Also if you have a Sams or costco card they both accept the SNAP card and you can get the Protein Bars there, shakes and other food or drink items. Even the dollar stores if they have something with Protein will take your SNAP card. You can not use your SNAP card for the Vitamins

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!

Might not be as good as Body fortress but today I bought 2lb of 25g whey protein by PURE PROTEIN with food stamps from walmart. YOU CAN BUY ANY PROTEIN POWDER THAT HAS A NUTRITION FACTS LABEL ON THE BACK

I think I may give it a try. I tried the five star one and my stomach twisted every time I caught the smell of it.

Thanks!

I will see if my nearby walmart carries this one... I have bought the pre made bottles of this brand with ebt there once.

The body fortress does have nutritional facts, and I have bought it with ebt before...not sure why it's a problem now.

I will call to see. I used to buy it at BJs but they stop bringing them in. The other brands they do carry are either not enough protein for the money or are super gross! They do have Protein Bars but not ready for those yet.

Thanks!

If you have access to a commissary, they cover it all.

I advise to buy small packages of Protein to try...your taste buds and tolerance might be different after surgery. When I had my sleeve done, I bought some Protein and ended up throwing it out. This time around some protein powders just don't sit well in my tummy.

I found if you get like the vanilla cream flavored you can add frozen strawberries and cut up a banana and blend it. Tastes pretty good. Also if you don't want the sugar in the fruit get sugar free Jello mix and add just a Tad to each drink. You probably can use the sugar free pudding mixes to. And I use skim milk. Haven't tried with just Water. Not that brave yet

Do you have a Sams or costco card? Or know someone who is a member?

You can go with them they use their card and you can purchase Protein shakes and the powder with your EBT, SNAP, or cash. They have vanilla and chocolate

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
