    I'm with you, breakfast I'm good and the rest of the day I don't feel like it. Try to get some small meals in, a good smoothie, kind bar, Lara bar, nuts, yogurt, seeds, definitely get more protein and veggies in when you feel like it.Try for something every 4 hours or so. I hope that helps a little!

    Are you struggling to eat bc of nausea, or getting really busy and forgetting, or a history of eating problems? I had a hard time eating with my last baby bc of nausea; I could only eat tiny bits here and there - some crackers (I liked cheezit), plain yogurt with some ginger and cinnamon in it (not my fave but I managed to get it down), some eggs for protein, avocado, and mills wafers. It was so hard to drink too, bc water made me feel super sick. I found that if I let myself get hungry at all things were even worse (and fast), so I tried to keep the crackers around to eat quickly until I could get to something more substantial. I'd also nibble on protein bars when I could stand it. Around 18wks it got better.

    I feel the same way. Nothing sounds good and I force myself to eat even small meals. I'm not really nauseous, just loss of appetite? Breakfast I can usually muster a bowl of Cheerios with banana. But the other day even the banana made me gag. I force myself to eat apple slices and string cheese as a snack at least once a day. And then of course lunch and dinner I manage to choke down. I'm a first time mom so I have no clue if this is normal.

    Eat what you want to eat... I need to keep things little otherwise I get this horrible feeling after.  (I TM my BFF last night that I put a mexican food baby on top of the real baby and they were not getting along!)

    Right now I am all about the meat and fat... little desire for sweets or carbs unless they are plain (like a baked potato and rice).  I figure if thats what I want I will eat it and eat until full but not too full.

    Nothing tastes good to me except cheezits and fruit with whipped cream and cake. It's frustrating. The thought of any hot food or meat disgusts me.

    I am right there with you. All I can really muster to eat are bagels, raisin bread and grilled cheese. I used to eat a couple of avacados a day, and I can't even look at them without gagging.

    I'm in the same boat. Last week I felt super hungry but towards the end of the week I have noticed I am more forcing myself to eat. I seem to enjoy hummus and pretzels together so if all else fails I grab those and some sort of fruit. Hopefully things change soon, bc my loss of appetite also makes me cranky

    I am the same way. I've had no appetite for 2 weeks now and have to force myself to eat. This week just the thought of drinking water or drinking it makes me sick. The past 2 days morning sickness has started and made things even worse with me getting sick about 30 mins after I eat a small meal.

    Same boat, starving but everything is just gross, especially chicken. For dinner I ate 5 pieces of toast and doriotos so...... just glad I don't have morning sickness (yet).

    Same here :( although feeling hungry, I can not eat anything. One thing sounds good for a second but the next second it hurts my stomach even to think about it. I feel nauseous all day long for about a week now. It's not fun

    Same here! A pretzel bagel from Einsteins is the only thing that's good to me right now!
