Rip Off!!!!



Recommended Posts

My order was delivered. I open up the box, to see only one Pizza Crust. Where are the others?

I look at the invoice, and this is how it reads: Thin Slim Foods Zero Carb Protein pizza Crust-Single Pack (4 Servings). When I ordered it, I thought I was getting 4 crusts. It costs $8.95, for 1 crust?

So I contacted customer service to let them know that I thought the ad was misleading. She were NOT helpful at all. She kept posting the nutrition label, like 3 times. I was like, OK so I did not read the nutrition label when purchasing. I didn't know that I had to do that?

Then she really made me mad, bringing up the fact that they credited me for something I returned that I did not like. I told her that has NOTHING to do with THIS issue. She tells me that they did it out of courtesy. Ok so move on. That was that, and this is this!

I ask if I can return it, because paying almost $9 for one crust seems excessive. I ask her to send me a return label. She tells me that I can return it if I would like, but that they do not issue return labels. So now to return it, its going to cost me more money!!

I am so pissed off right now!!

Sorry it was misleading! But I will say, the specialty crusts are EXPENSIVE! I don't buy them often for that reason. For a cheap alternative... if your nutritionist is OK with it... you can use a low carb tortilla to make a homemade pizza. Just have to watch how much sauce you add. Not the same as a regular style pizza crust... but it helps with my pizza cravings. I usually just make it in the frying pan like you would a quesadilla... except you don't fold over the tortilla ;) If the cheese isn't melting enough I put the lid on.

Diet foods are practically always a ripoff as it seems. Learn your lesson, don't buy again.

If you want to eat pizza, eat real pizza or make your own Protein dough (there are quite simple recipes out there, that are good tasting).

TY for the suggestion, it never even crossed my mind to try this.

I won't buy it again....lesson learned. I actually bought the crust for my hubby, not for me. I will look into some recipes for the dough. Thanks

Actually I saw this at Whole Foods and thought it wasn't a bad deal. It's $6.99 for two low carb crusts. Not sure that helps this situation with the delivery but thought I would offer it up as a potential option next time. Customer service is never what you expect it to be and sometimes is eye opening to determine if you are going to order from that company again.

Thank you for letting me know this. I usually don't shop at Whole Foods, so I wouldn't have known about this option.

Walmart has cauliflower crust now two in a pack for $6.50. It’s in the gluten free section not with the pizza.

I am the only one that eats it at my house and I don’t like it leftover so when I get home from store I let it thaw a bit more and I cut it in half or in thirds and put back on freezer so I can take out just the portion I want. I guess after surgery I may need to cut even smaller.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
