Morning sickness has improved, but I'm still pretty queasy in the mornings. My appetite is just not there in the morning either. I haven't been able to stomach eggs or toast, smoothies don't hold me over, I can only eat yogurt on some rare mornings, and I'm out of breakfast ideas. I can't stand oatmeal right now, and cereals don't satisfy.
Do you ladies have other any ideas/suggestions? I'm getting really frustrated with food.
During my first trimester I'd always wake up nauseous, but I also cannot put food in my mouth when I'm nauseous - it just makes it worse. I could drink though so I started having a big glass of milk (organic 2% w/ dha) once I woke up. DH would jump out of bed when my alarm went off and bring the glass of milk to me so I could sip a bit before trying to get out of bed. Other times I'd do pasta - like if I started feeling queasy in the afternoon - but I'd have to sip some milk or ginger ale to settle my stomach first before eating. Good luck - you'll make it!!
I ate PB&J on toast for pretty much every meal during my first tri. or just plain saltines. Don't get stuck in the "breakfast food" box - eat whatever you can stand. What about fruit? Hope you start to feel better soon!
Ditto the suggestion to add some protein to your smoothies. Maybe you'll need to have first and second breakfast instead of really filling up right away. Last thought, do you eat in the middle of the night? I had a drawer of food and ate at ~3am all the time when I was pg. Maybe that would help keep you from waking up already nauseous.
I second the protein shakes. I hated eating in the morning but if I didn't I'd get sick. So I made a good sized protein shake and sipped on it all morning. I also lived on the premade peanut butter crackers.

Was all the magnesium supplements and whatnot fine with your doc? I've been paranoid about any extras.
