Aversions/Cravings anyone?

What food aversions or cravings have you been experiencing? Up until I was about 6 weeks, I used to love chicken! Now I cannot even stand the sight of it! DH is into healthy eating and usually has his chicken breast and brown rice almost daily. So it's been GREAT during meals!! lol I also had an aversion to beef, but thank god that went away. On the flip side, Ice cream is the best thing ever invented! EVER! I love ice cream. Oh and cheese and sweet pickle sandwiches.. with a side of fiber one bars. haha Craving cheese during pregnancy is just torture.

Re: Aversions/Cravings anyone?
I have had aversions to anything fast food except the fresh taco bell stuff and quarter pounders with cheese, anything deep fried, and anything artificially sweetened. Diet Coke used to taste like sweet nectar of the gods to me but now I have a regular coke or sweet tea for my one caffeine helping a day.
I totally agree with you about ice cream! Before, my husband was always the ice cream fan of the house but now I love even plain vanilla, or milk shakes. Low fat yogurt with granola and milk have become daily staples, along with those mini bluebell ice cream sandwiches.
Other than that it depends on the day - sometimes it is a baked potato, frequently spinach salads and vegetables. Not really any combinations I would not normally eat, but when I want something I want it BAD and will have extended food fantasies about it. I spent around 30 minutes anticipating my french onion soup from Panera the other week - imagining the croutons getting soggy and the cheese melting on top of the bread bowl. Yum.
I'm with you on chicken and most meats. I use to love it and now I can't stand it. However, if covered in enough sauce, I can tolerate a few bites - Thai Curry with Chicken is ok, but Thai Curry with Tofu is awesome.
I've also lost my sweet tooth. It's like I've lost a food group here. For an entire week I've had good chocolate Easter candy in the fridge that I haven't touched. So out of character for me!
Cravings - PB&J sandwiches and anything pasta. Also, when I read a post about food I immediately and desperately want what they are having.
I am the total opposite, all I want is a fresh off the grill hot dog!!
Food aversions to everything meat related. I haven't eaten chicken/beef/pork for about 2 months. I also hate anything that smells like spices/garlic so that covers just about everything out there.
Things I like...fruit/veggies and cheerios...that's about it.
It's terrible and I am down like 15 lbs because I hate food.
I LOVE pickles.. & I mean REALLY love them.
Depends on the day as far as my aversions go.. I would have to say they are getting better though : )
I've only come across two aversions so far: green olives and oysters. LOL. We were at a party a couple weeks ago, and grabbed the olives; took one bite and almost gagged!
Same with the oysters at the event we attended last night: dh was raving about them, so I tried one, and baby doesn't like them apparently!
But I've been loving the spicy foods still!
This is me too. I've been okay with almost all fruits, but there are some veggies I just can't eat. My biggest craving has been potato pierogies, yum! I can usually eat those even if everything else is grossing me out.
Most things homeade Im having trouble eating. I will love the smell of whatever Im cooking but when its ready and time to eat I cant stomach it.
So much food has gone to waste!
McDonalds soft serve cones are amazing. I want any and all fruit and cheese.

Anything spicy, creamy/saucy, and/or rich I cannot deal with. I also can't really do meat.
My cravings are mostly fruit and fruit juice, bread, and french fries w/vanilla shakes.

Pickles are AWESOME!! lol I always have a jar of bread and butter pickles and kosher dills in my fridge!
I have problems cooking now. Everything makes me nauseous especially meat. I can't stand Fish fillets anymore.
I love mcdoubles dipped in mayonnaise and fries. I love chicken burritos from Taco Bell. I was on my way to quitting soda but now I HAVE to have one and I'm on a Powerade Zero kick Mixed Berry and Grape!
Can't stand any meats, cheeses (dont even like to hear the word!), coffee, chips, spicy foods, milk....
I can only stomach (not even crave) certain juices (especially apple juice), saltine crackers, chicken noodle soup (minus the chicken) and that's pretty much it....
No cravings yet...
