1st Trimester

Hungry but nothing sounds good!

I've been very lucky to not have m/s, but I have been having weird issues with food. Even though I get extremely hungry (and then feel extremely full after eating anything), it's like all my taste buds have been dulled, and nothing tastes good anymore. A lot of things are grossing me out. The only thing that sounds mildly interesting is any kind of fast food--the greasier, the better. Anyone else having trouble finding things to eat?

  • Oh, and I think I could live on Strawberry Lemonade slushes from Friday's--I had one the other night and I CAN'T stop thinking about it. That's about the only thing I want right now!

  • YES!!!!! Except greasy fast food makes me want to hurl.

    I have to eat something or else I will throw up...but nothing sounds good. It usually ends up being something bland. I feel like I'm sick with the flu...where you eat -- but nothing tastes good. Booooo :(?

  • yes, and I'm not a fan. I haven't been able to eat any meat, and I have to carry/eat crackers constantly or I feel gross. The worst is that I feel like I'm so hungry and then eat a bite of something and feel full.

  • I am in love with Trader Joes...I have been rocking their artisain whole wheat loaf...its all I could stomach this morning..I toasted in with some butter...I made myself two slices and then I had to go back for 2 more...so yummy and simple...

    I am going out for Italian with friends tonight and right now the thought of maranaria sauce is making me sick...I am thinking of going for something creamy..I have been craving dairy today!

  • I'm in the same boat as "LovingLife" any fast food sounds gross to me.?

  • I'm in the same boat... hungry but nothing sounds good. Once upon a time in my normal life, I would gravitate toward chocolate, but I don't even want that now. All I can think about are slushies (Planet Smoothie...mmmm... wish there were one closer) and canned peaches. And I've been living on pasta. It doesn't necessarily always sound good, but boy can I put it away.

     Is it normal to have cravings and aversions so early?

  • Yup, I was the exact same way.  No bad m/s, but nausea and NOTHING sounded good, even though I was starving.  I'd get SO mad when DH would ask, "What sounds good?"  "NOTHING!! STOP ASKING!!" :) 

    I was that way from 5 weeks till about two weeks ago.  The only things I could even entertain to eat were sweet/sour stuff, like tangy bbq sauce, lots and lots of fruit (apples and tangerines), lemon chicken from a Chinese place.

    It will pass - I'm sorry you have to go through it! 

  • I'm kind of going through a similar thing.  Thinking about eating makes me nauseous.  I'm never hungry for anything, because nothing sounds good to me.  I have to force myself to eat and I have not been sick yet after I ate but it is just a weird feeling.
  • Exactly. Glad I'm not the only one.
  • Oh gosh me too! Glad I'm not the only one.
