Over it !

I was thinking my symptoms were gone but they came back. The main thing that's aggravating is my struggle with food aversion with almost everything. I went from 225 to 213 in no time bc I haven't been eating. I'm 11 weeks I'm hoping it'll get better once this trimester ends.

I am so sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well.  I ended up losing 16lbs in the first trimester for a similar reason.  Something that was helpful for me was drinking Pediasure drinks.  I was able to tolerate drinking better than eating, so I stuck with smoothies and kids protein drinks.  I also ate so many saltine crackers and pretzels that I hope never to see one again. I hope you feel better soon!  You are amazing!

It's like I'm struggling with both eating and drinking. I'll definitely look into the drinks and I did have some cheez its that I enjoyed. When did you notice that it was getting better ?

I can't quite remember, but I think around 16 weeks or so.  At that point, I wasn't getting sick quite as often.  Unfortunately there was no magic "hey you made it to second trimester so your stomach feels better" moment.  My family does have a history of being sick throughout the whole pregnancy though. 

Hopefully yours won't last too much longer and you will find the right combination of food/drink etc to feel better in the meantime.  You can also talk with your Dr about nausea medication (prescription or over the counter) which might help.

@siftedsweets sorry you’re struggling! My only additional recommendation is to experiment with temperature. I found that ice cold drinks, ice cold smoothies, etc., were MUCH easier for me to tolerate. I don’t know why, but if I could make something super cold, it was easier to keep down. I made a LOT of smoothies with yogurt, frozen fruit, protein powder, and tons of ice.

Thank you ! I will be trying this

I find fruit to be really helpful, it’s hydrating and gives you a quick blood sugar boost that can help with nausea. My go-to fruits are watermelon (I buy the pre-cut so it’s easy to just grab a few pieces), apples, and grapes.
