I didn't even think they would refund my money because it was shipped refrigerated. Thank you so much for the information. I will certainly give it a try!

Honestly, I think they're decent! I ordered the minimum (forget how many that is) a few months ago and have probably eaten half of them I got the everything variety. To me, the flavor is pretty good, kinda fills the pizza void. I don't like the fact that the crust never gets crispy (even with the frying pan method).

Thought I would throw in my $0.02 so people new not everyone hated them. I agree it is a gamble to spend $60 to try them out, but if they allow the returns, I say go for it. Not much to lose.

I recently ordered some pre-made cauliflower crusts and am anxious to try them out as well!

I' now 15 months post-op and 17 months into eating a healthy diet and I have very few cravings for foods I used to eat, but pizza is definitely one of them. Which is funny, because it was never my favorite before - weird.

I guess everybody's taste buds are different but these sure tasted awful to me. I am 6 weeks out and have not had pizza so maybe I lost my taste for it. I tried the 3 cheese but I have the combination ones also so maybe upon your suggestion I will try one of those. Yes, it is nice to know they will take them back! Good luck to you on your journey!

Oh, I have no doubt they tasted nasty to you, LOL! I certainly wasn't challenging that, just pointing out that everyone is different, and that I thought they weren't too bad! And, honestly, I can't imagine you would find the supreme version that much better if you hated the cheese, although I've only had the supreme, you are going to have the same issues with the limp crust, etc.

Good luck to you as well!

Well I'm just about 100 days in to this journey but on Saturday I checked my weight and I got a 199 on my digital scale (which I don't really trust to be totally accurate) If I got on it 5 minutes later it probably would have read 203 but I quickly put it back in the closet and I'll leave it there until my 4 month anniversary. Regardless I just need to keep on the straight & narrow path and if I do that I'll never see a 200+ weight again. It does feel good to be on the right side of 200 for the first time in many years.

Anyway I figured I'd celebrate Saturday with some bad boy food so I took a nice long walk down to Joe's Pizza on 14th street. It's not my favorite pizza in NYC but for just a regular slice it's definitely up there. My mouth watered as I sat down with it but after a few small bites I realized it just wan't the same. I actually spit out my last bite and tossed most of the slice in the garbage. It was almost like I was tasting the individual components of the pizza instead of 1 delicious gob of carby/fatty/saucy goodness. Now I'm sure i'll try pizza again and I'm sure I'll even enjoy it. But I also know that things will unlikely ever be the same. It's like when one spouse is unfaithful. The marriage may survive but there's damage that can never be undone. Sorry pizza. We had a good run together.

suppose it had tasted wonderful, just like you remembered and you wanted that whole piece plus another, even though you couldn't eat all that?

suppose it made you crave another piece the next day and the next and the next...

I used to have a bit of a problem with breakfast cereal. Now I dump so eating sweet carbs floating in a sugary liquid doesn't hold much appeal to me. Corn muffins too.

  • I can't respond and be kind. Did you want someone to say, well that's ok you only had a few bites or for someone to say WHY , please learn a new way to reward yourself.

I'm just relaying a story about reaching a milestone and trying a food I used to enjoy. Feedback, whether good or bad, is welcome but not entirely necessary.

I am still struggling and learning. One of the things I'm just realizing is there are some things I can no longer "treat" myself with - possibly ever again. I really am searching hard on why I regained all my weight 6 times in the last 15 or 2o years, so that I don't do it again. While I am still a little sad about this realization, I'm beginning to realize that I have to find new healthier treats and not my old standbys. I'm really enjoying nuts and trying many different variety now (the standard peanuts are mostly traded out now). It's okay to remember the old treats, as they were part of my past, but I like who I'm becoming and I don't want to risk it. I'm treating it like I'm a drug addict and trying to learn how to stay in the recovery mode vs. the addiction mode. Some foods just aren't worth it and maybe your spitting it out is your lesson number 1.

HW 510 / SW 424/ GW 175 (stretch goal to get 10 under) / CW 160 (I'm near the charts ideal weight - wonder if I can stay here)

Taking it as seriously as a drug addiction is a good idea. A "one day at a time" type approach.
