peanut butter is life

picklesplease

Grapes. All of the green grapes. All of the time.

@Taylor72 Yes - this. Peanut butter on everything.  I literally just ate peanut butter and jelly on a Belgian waffle for breakfast.

Other than this, sour patch kids when I'm feeling queasy, toast, pasta, as much fruits and veggies as sounds good at the moment, and mac and cheese.  Basically I have the food cravings of a 5 year old right now.

I just want carbonation. So, I have been drinking some squirt, or orange soda or Sprite every day. I really need to get some sparkling water or something. I don't have much of an appetite. So, I will stick to my fizzy drinks and some carbs. Meat, especially, is making me want to throw up. No more meat for me. That is totally the same as last time. 

picklesplease

@mrsstuessy - Ew! Meat! Ick! DH gave me options for dinner tonight, all of them included a big slab of meat and I about threw up in his face.

mrsstuessy

@DoctorDonna I know! With DD I couldn't eat (or even think about) vegetables or meat for about 5 weeks. It was all rice, bread and fruit. So far just the meat. DH offered me a hunk of sausage yesterday and I almost threw up. 

MrsBakes

I had a yogurt for breakfast. I choked it down. I'll try some cheese and dried fruit and nuts for a snack now. I brought a pork chop and mashed potatoes and pickles for lunch but the only thing that sounds doable are the pickles. I think I'll run to a place near by and get a spinach salad. That actually sounds kinda good. Fruit also sounds good, but I forgot my apple at home

Magheeta

I had a banana this morning for breakfast, then a microwaved breakfast burrito for second breakfast, and I will have frozen White Castle cheeseburgers for lunch. Who knows what this afternoon will bring.

This weekend was about all things

Everything I can think of this morning to eat or drink makes me want to gag. I forced some oatmeal down and now I'm eating saltine crackers like my life depends on it so my stomach won't get empty and make me feel like hurling.

Does anyone else have NO energy to actually MAKE food??? I feel awful. But seriously, we have ordered in/ate out so much already!!!! I already told DH that supper tonight will be soup and grilled cheese because that's all the energy I have.

Pinkpeonies

Nothing, nothing sounds good.  I made myself eat one slice of toast this AM and had some sparkling water.  Flat water makes me gag at the moment.

mylittleirvz

Oh, I forgot to mention, one thing that has helped my nausea somewhat is eating those freezer popsicles - "pop-ice" or whatever you may call them. The combination of cold, ice, and slight flavor have worked wonders on my rolling stomach...for now at least!

bww_0331

Carbs. All the carbs. Current craving: shape Kraft Mac and cheese

The thought of meat also makes me want to gag.

I just had a bacon sandwich for lunch. It. Was. Amazing.

MrsBakes

mylittleirvz

I'll have to try popsicles!

I just ate lunch. ordered the salad that sounded good and it was wonderful. 30seconds after I stopped eating I was back to being nauseous.

I'm gonna try some green tea now.

Ekzerr

So much beef jerky 

Limie

All the turkey subs! With lots of tomatoes and lettuce! 

STM2017

All week long I've been craving Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Which is weird because I don't actually know if I've ever hard it before...Or if I have it's been years. Anyways, I bought a box today. It's AMAZING!!!!

Neikoda

@STM2017 Have you had French Toast Crunch? Its amazing and they just started making it again.

I can't handle anything sweet right now, so not like me!

housewifehobbyist

I really want to get the triple ginger cookies from Trader Joe's but I know if I do I will eat them all, and I'm trying to not gain an insane amount of weight.  My nausea kicks in afternoon/evening and I haven't been able to eat after 4:00 PM for the past three weeks, and I'm just feeling like ginger cookies would make an excellent dinner.

STM2017

@Neikoda, nope, I've never seen that! I'm in Canada though. I wonder if we have it here...

mamabear2015

I threw absolutely everything I ate up within minutes today. Until I had a taco salad. So weird. 

STM2017

I'm regretting buying such a small box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. What was I thinking?!?! Always go for the big box!!!!

Blueberry85

@STM2017 Special K has a flavor - cinnamon pecan, I think - that, to me, tasted exactly like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Might be worth checking out, too!

It really is. Lightly toasted bread, spread of butter, bacon, and a bit of ketchup. Bam.

mokay19

I've eaten Reese's Puffs for dinner for 3 nights straight #noregrets 

STM2017

Thanks @Blueberry85. That sounds slightly healthier too lol

rachelgreene-2

@housewifehobbyist i love those cookies! my FI makes bourbon balls with them during the holidays and they are amazing - I won't be having any this year though. my morning sickness is in the afternoon/evening too so I feel your pain. 

As for what I am eating, a whole lot of nothing. Nothing seems to be settling my stomach. Every time I eat I feel horrible. Hopefully this will be short lived. 

Dannylion24

@mylittleirvz totally agree about the Popsicles! I've been downing them since its 99 degrees here and the heat seems to really up the nausea. 

TheJerilu

@mrsstuessy @DoctorDonna @wagnerw

Please send any and all meat my way.  It's basically the only thing I want to eat right now with the exception of some arbitrary sweet cravings I get.

mrsstuessy

@TheJerilu You can have it. As long as you send all the Mexican food without meat my way. I need so much beans/rice/cheese!!!

picklesplease

@TheJerilu - Take it! Enjoy it because just thinking about it right now is making me nauseated!

Ekzerr

I usually love a whopper from Burger King but last night DH wanted one and the thought of it made me want to be sick had the best breakfast today though! Scrambled egg whites with mushrooms, tomatoes, feta and a touch of lemon pepper seasoning!

mylittleirvz

I am literally so excited for this weekend. My brother is getting married and I cannot wait for the food - BBQ at the rehearsal dinner and Mexican at the reception. Both sound SO amazing right now and I am keeping my fingers crossed they still do by Friday and Saturday. Please baby, cooperate, mama wants to be excited about food for once again!

firewife86

Food just doesn't sound super appetizing right now. I think I'm totally sustaining myself on tomatoes. Plain, with salt, with cheese, on a sandwich. Just feed me tomatoes. Rice and beans sounds good. No meat. I bit into an empanada with ground me and nearly lost it. Anything fried grosses me out. My poor DHA is like... tomato sandwiches for lunch again?!

NESeattlite

Tomato sandwich haha, that's a new one for me.  Glad I'm not alone in the non-meat Mexican cravings!

MrsBakes

Today, even though I'm nauseous I do have some appetite. But I can never eat what I bring to work with me. I have to go and buy lunch. I'm going to go broke if this continues. So I'm just munching on a fried fish sandwich and fries. After that I have this amazing creamy tomato soup hmmmmm

I hope I  don't regret it. But I've sent my H to buy me some preggie pops and bring along when he picks me up for our first prenatal appointment today

waitingforblueskies

Today, I got the random craving for a Fried Egg Sandwich- which I have never had (my mom used to eat them a lot though) and had to Google how to make (which was embarrassing for me). 

When I finally did eat it today, it was so majestic. 

I, also, would love all the Chinese food in the world, thank you, please.
