KFrob

Trader Joe’s white truffle potato chips

As of this week the only thing I can eat without feeling like puking is fruit and sweets. So I had cheesecake for lunch.

My aversion this pregnancy is sweets, the complete opposite from DS. With him I craved and wanted sweets all of the time. 

Im trying to eat healthier this time so I've been eating lots of almonds and other nuts. Fruits, salad, yogurt. I'm not a big veggie eater!

Nothing ugh. Food aversions are no joke

Laying in bed at 9pm last night I was starving...I went and got my leftover Bob Evans (a chicken tender, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese) and ate it in bed...

Am I the only one who can’t read this thread because it makes them feel sick? 

sammierose464

@cdepperschmidt depending on how i'm feeling at the moment...yes. Right now is one of those moments.

Red meat only. Lots of burgers. We’ve made burgers. Eaten garbage fast food burgers from every place around. I really want to stop eating like crap, but nothing else sounds remotely appetizing. 

purple_2012

@tinattt23 I have been craving cheeseburgers like crazy lately!

chyvie

Had a burger on Saturday. Made a roast beef last night and a beef pot pie with the leftovers tonight. Apparently baby needed some red meat too @tinattt23 and @purple_2012

reading this thread as I eat chocolate chip cookies with peanut butter

I am a sweets person, so my desire to eat cinnamon toast crunch and apple pie isn't all that weird. 

I don't have much of an appetite when it comes to eating actual meals, but I don't have any food/smell aversions, so I'll eat whatever just fine.

The only thing close to any aversion is that I don't really want to eat scrambled eggs, which is normally our go-to for weekend breakfast. A hard boiled egg with salt sounds more appetizing.

I've been craving sweets more than usual. Normally I can take or leave. Trying to eat lots of fruit, but craving and tempting to make a cherry pie soon. I have everything, but no energy to make it. haha. Eating lots of some pina colada flavored yogurt I found, that's satisfying my sweet tooth and my hunger between meals.

I am really enjoying ordering chicken sandwiches from Arbys with mozzarella sticks, I throw the chicken away because I just can't and then I replace it with a few cheese sticks. Yumm. 

sarahbutlerrrr

Chicken salad sandwiches and cosmic brownies

So so many carbs and sharp cheddar cheese. Can't stand veggies, sweet potato, peanut butter, etc. I normally am a super healthy eater, so this is a change for me. Luckily, I can stomach iced coffee in the mornings! During my first pregnancy, I couldn't do any coffee and spent the first trimester feeling so foggy and out of it. 

I'm with you, @ladyofarlington, every week is so different for me.

tinattt23

I just ate three pieces of piza and two breadsticks. I think that’s more than I’ve eaten at once in weeks. 

chyvie

Two days and I finished a bag of caramel and buffalo wings flavor popcorn. I don't allow myself to buy bad snack foods as I have no will power but I just needed it when I was at the store

sammierose464

My go-to has been canned ravioli... Which is something I enjoy, but it seems to be one of the only things that sounds good right now.

pebbledam

Anything that I can put Cholula on!!!

chyvie

Cupcake for breakfast because it's my birthday so why not? 

zbab31

Wendy’s frosties!! They make my belly feel normal for a few minutes

.Happy Birthday, @chyvie!

Oh and frozen cokes/slurpees. I've been getting one almost daily since the office manager at my dr told me they help.

I'm with you, and I don't really understand it. The coffee doesn't taste good, but I think the desperate need for a little caffeine (I do half-caff) outweighs my revulsion.

But meanwhile, it's almost 11 AM, I haven't eaten a bite, and absolutely nothing sounds tolerable. I've been standing in my kitchen for about 15 minutes trying to figure something out.

I read something about how a lot of women swear beans help with morning sickness. So I’m giving it a try! They say pinto beans help the most but also black, white, even garbanzo beans. I couldn’t stand the thought of eating straight beans for breakfast so I ate hummus with carrots and I actually do feel better! You’re supposed to eat them with breakfast and have some more every couple hours to keep them in your system. It sounds crazy but what have I got to lose? I’ll keep you all posted on if it keeps working... haha

@kablaze - if nothing else- it will keep you regular.

Can I just say that I am tired of eating half portions?   I thought I get to “eat for two”, but I get halfway through a meal and my body is like “and now stop!”  

Today, I ordered one of my favorites- a grilled pimento cheese and bacon sandwich with no sides.  I ate half and ended up giving the other half to my best friend because there was no way I could finish it.  

What is almost worse- any snacking I do directly affects my desire to eat at meal time.  So my snacks have to be healthier, or all I’ll eat all day is oreos and M&Ms.

I feel great as long as I’m eating.  10 minutes after I stop: nausea is back.  I’ve gained 7 lbs.  Currently loving white cheddar Cheez-it’s, and seriously craving beets with goat cheese and citrus vinaigrette.  It’s okay if the cheese is made from pasteurized milk, right?  

SweetSweetTooth

Yes pasteurized cheese is fine!

And a good thing too!  Cheese is one of the few things that is appealing right now!

Chocolate milk and Cheerios. Already eating like a toddler!

SweetSweetTooth

Totally splurging and going out for red robin tonight! Hello unlimited French fries!! Also going out for ice cream after... Hope I have room! 

sammierose464

I'm just always eating... I just ate a bowl of cereal and im still starving. Wtf.

mytrueloves

@cdepperschmidt I'm with you. 1000% Everything sets off my morning sickness. Including plastic wrap. Freaking PLASTIC WRAP. What the hell, kid?

jennybean80

Lemon Meringue yogurt. The tart is helping with the MS. 

macheno

I'm hungry a lot, but nothing sounds good most of the time. If I do think of something that sounds good, I get nauseous a few bites into it. So, I mostly end up grazing all day on fruit, crackers, cheese.

Every week has been so different! 

-One week I wanted all the pickles and salt and vinegar chips 
-another week I wanted all the ground turkey- in tacos and coodles (carrot spirals like zoodles) style “spaghetti”
- another week I couldn’t touch chicken with a ten foot pole and didn’t want *any* meat at all- I survived on crackers and cereal and tortilla chips
- I hated sweets and chocolate for weeks and only could do fruity “sweets” or cranberry/ orange / blueberry stuff and dried mangoes but this week I want all the chocolate 
- cheddar string cheese has been my go to this week. I can’t get enough of it! 

I’ll be curious to know the sex of your baby!  All i wanted was salt with my son.  With my daughter, I was all about sweets and fruit.
