How is your appetite?

I guess it's still the m/s but no food appeals to me! I really want to be able to enjoy some food again...but everything gives me that little jerk in my stomach and throat...the aftermath of weeks of puking I guess. How is your appetite?

I'm with you - I'm hungry in theory, but once I actually go to eat something, it just repulses me. I feel guilty, I want to eat healthier, but food is just still such a gross concept.

I'm hoping to start tolerating my vitamin again this week, at the very least. My OB told me I had to go 48 hours without puking before I could try it, and we seem to be getting there.

Maybe food will follow?

M/S has been gone about 2 weeks so far (knock wood) and I've just gotten my appetite back over the past week.  My food aversions seem to be gone for the time being, so I'm slowly but surely making up for lost time  

Up until the M/S ended, I hadn't gained or lost weight.  I'm hoping to find that I've gained something at tomorrow's 16 week appt.

I'm a fvcking beast right now. The only thing that stops me is the fact that I get full easily since my insides are starting to get squished.

SAME. ugh. Then I can just feel it sitting in my organs s-l-o-w-l-y digesting.

Heck yeah. Then heartburn sets in. It's a sick, sick cycle.

I'd say it's about normal. I wasn't hungry at all for the first 15 or 16 weeks. Now food sounds good, but not like if I don't eat a box of doughnuts in the next five minutes I'm going to destroy Tokyo good.

I agree with this.

It took me a few weeks to actually desire food. I still have little morning sickness moments but luckily I can eat now. Hang in there. Sometimes you just have to eat something to eat...even if nothing is actually appealing. Maybe try a breakfast shake in the morning to give you a boost of vitamins and proteins. You could even blend it so it feels like dessert.

I didn't have much m/s but my extra pregnancy apetite really kicked in at 20 weeks...

I'm never really hungry at all. I feel like I'm starving my babies. I force myself to at least get down things like milk and veggies so at least I'm getting nutrition.

Hey, that's better than me. If I get some frozen waffles and a bagel down, that is a champion day. I am taking FA suppliments, because the PNVs are still a no-go, but that's about it in terms of health.

We can only do what we can, you know?
