1st Trimester
the nausea is making me cry with frustration
wah. I just need to rant a little bit here.
I have been diligently eating my crackers and ginger ale because almost nothing else is edible at this point. And I was right in the middle of a banana- the world's most easily swallowable fruit, when I gagged really badly and had to run to the bathroom super quick.
Gross. I am so hungry and I can't eat anything and I just want to sit and cry. Plus, I haven't told anyone at work why I'm a total basketcase, so I am feeling guilty about already going home sick twice in the last two weeks.
*grumble grumble*

Re: the nausea is making me cry with frustration
I suffered through the same thing, even with bananas
What worked for me (though may not for you) was watermelon and popsicles and oatmeal muffins.
It will pass, but I know how much it sucks.
Don't worry you're not alone. I've had many nights where I would just cry because I felt so sick and couldn't get anything down.
At some point it does get better so just try to keep that in mind.
thanks for the support, ladies.
And thanks for the popsicle tip. I found some all-fruit popsicles (like those Mexican cart vendors sell- well, at least in LA they do!) and those are not only easy to eat, but I can at least console myself that I'm getting a tiny amount of fruit, too.
as to the gluten problem - wow, that must be so tough! If I couldn't eat crackers, I think I'd starve. hang in there, and good luck finding edible alternatives.
