Eating is a Chore

The thought of eating is like going to the dentist at this point.  Nothing sounds good, nothing!  Even if something does sound remotely tasty, I gag after a few bites.  Anyone else having trouble with their appetite?

    I've found I get like that only when I'm really hungry. I know it sucks, but try and force yourself to eat throughout the day. It has really helped me...and I'm still 5lbs down from when I got my bfp :) Eat lots of fruits/veggies.

    I know exactly what you mean.  I don't want to eat anything.  I force myself because I know I need to, but half way through can't make myself to take another bite.  It's not nausea, I don't have m/s.  It's just that everthing tastes like cardboard, nothing looks good.  I made myself cottage cheese with cut up persimmon, one of favs and I can't raise the spoon to my mouth.  I don't want to taste it.  

    This sucks

    Sticking to super small bites of things helps me. Like, 2 crackers (ritz are ok for me) at a time small. Eating a meal is out of the question, but nibbling is doable. I've also been trying to drink more juices to get more calories but not have to chew :/

    Over the course of the day I can usually eat a yogurt, 1/2 a grilled cheese mid day and another half in the evening, with some crackers and grapes thrown in as well. So basically one meal split up throughout the entire day.

    Exactly this. I haven't been getting sick just been nauseous. But my appetite doesn't exist. Or I'll be hungry but want nothing to eat.
    Yes. Exactly.

    I either am hungry and have no idea what I want, and nothing sounds appetizing. Or I'm starving know exactly what I am craving but by the time I get it I can take two bites before I feel sick or feel full.

    I didn't have an appetite from weeks 6 - 8 and was nauseous 24/7 with no break. I had to force myself to eat. Everything tasted gross to me. Nothing ever sounded good. I agree to take small bites and just force it. Hopefully it won't last long! Things I thought were disgusting to me in those weeks, I can now eat and am starting to enjoy food now! I have always been a food lover so it sucked not enjoying anything!

    I've never posted here before, but after reading this I felt so much relief knowing that I'm not the only one feeling that exact same way. I haven't felt "hungry" in weeks. (I'm 11 weeks today) I miss wanting to eat food SO bad! It's so hard to explain to my husband because obviously he's not feeling it. Co-workers have been asking if I've been having cravings and I always say.. "I wish!" I really hope it goes away soon!

    Ugh, I feel hungry, but I can't eat. I mean, barely. I can eat meat (in moderation), fruit, and select baked goods. Veggies, rice, pasta all make me feel like I'm going to be sick. At dinner time I try so hard to eat as much as I can, with meat/veggie/carb all in one bite together, hoping the meat will mask the rest of it, but it only leads to me feeling really sick. :( I miss enjoying food.

    Almost all food makes me nauseous just thinking about. I gag trying to eat because I know I have to but I'm not getting much in. It's so much worse when I actually feel hungry. I feel so guilty I'm not taking in all sorts of healthy things for the baby. Not to mention I just cry about all of the above. Sigh.

    YES!  Yes yes yes, everything you just said I feel like I've said the SAME thing in the past week. Just the thought of getting hungry again frustrates me. I dont want ANYTHING. Everything grosses me out, and I can't stand the smell of most things. 

    I feel like I've been eating like a snacktime child ever since I got pregnant. No fun. I'll be happy when these symptoms go away. Hopefully in a couple of weeks!

    I used to love potstickers. The other day I had the chicken variety, and even though I drenched them I'm Asian sesame ginger sauce, I was still fighting to force them down. The good news is, they actually stayed down. I've recently added protein shakes to the mix with my snacks because beyond nuts, I haven't been getting enough. I love the key lime lean shake from GNC.
