What my Pregnant Self is Eating 8/29

WinchesterGirl · August 2016

What's on your plates this week, ladies?

poofwok · August 2016

My nausea seems to have worn off completely now so I can finally eat diverse meals through out the week.

I'm still favoriting fruits (mostly apples, grapes and watermelon) & cheddar flavored popcorn for snacks.

BlondePeanut · August 2016

My strongest craving lately is freshly made french fries....yummmmy! But I am doing my best to balance that with salads, yogurt, and fresh fruit/vegetables. Also, hot decaf black tea with honey has been hitting the spot too. That started when I got a bad head cold, and it is still on my must-drink list

It really helps this on and off sore throat and my allergies too. Thinking about what I would like right now....NACHOS. I haven't had them in a while....and boy does that sounds good....I am still very into cheese....preferably monterey jack cheese blocks (the yellow and white one) that I can slice up and eat or melt on stuff like baked potatoes

I still have no appetite but I seem to always want fruits and bagels!

Kaylea31 · August 2016

I want extra butter popcorn so bad. But I seem to have misplaced my popcorn. I swear I put it in the pantry but I've searched had my DH search the house high and low but the popcorn is NOWHERE. NOWHERE. It's driving me crazy because I just know that I put it in the pantry but it isn't there......

Now I need cheddar flavored popcorn. Yum!

FreeTheElf · August 2016

I have been having a SUPER hard time finding anything I want to eat. The only thing I really always want is chocolate milk!!!

feelingjovani · August 2016

I've really been in to Trader Joe's movie theater popcorn only to wake up and find that DH had finshed the 1/2 bag we had.

MrsDramaK · August 2016

I'm getting Tacos for lunch, but TBH that's almost always what my pregnant self is eating.

MrsP052909 · August 2016

Thanks to the deli meat thread, I will be getting a sandwich for lunch!

joyful08 · August 2016

Anything salty or sour. Pickles, some deli meat, low fat string cheese, salads, and I crave super sour lemon water. Anything remotely sweet repulses me.

scifichick09 · August 2016

My grandma brought by a loaf of homemade pumpkin bread on Friday, I ate a slice then and thought "Hmm, this is ok, but the pumpkin isn't really the star and it's too heavy on the spice". I had another slice this morning and about barfed. It tasted/smelled like poop. I don't know what the hell happened, but it's now in the trash.

BlondePeanut · August 2016

Second to the lemon water....so refreshing! I have been pretty turned off to sweets myself

Another vote for popcorn and nachos (with melted cheese.)

Wait. Is there another way?

tentacular · August 2016

@GlitterDragon No offense to any Brits here (you weirdos), but I've had several of them make me nachos with shredded, unmelted cheese on top. I was truly flummoxed the first time it happened.

I'm going to eat some cookies and cream ice cream right now and see if it brings a little joy into my day. What I really want is sushi. Gotta talk H into taking me out for sushi before I'm showing too much and get alllll the judgement for *gasp, evil!* being obviously pregnant and eating sushi in public.

I will also want a sake bomber but will reluctantly abstain.

birdiejo · August 2016

Dipping teddy Graham's into a can of funfetti frosting right now... Dunkaroos anyone?

glitterdragon-2 · August 2016

@tentacular I would be ok with that only if there was melted cheese underneath the unmelted cheese.
@homemake I completely forgot about dunkaroos and now I need to copy your idea.

WinchesterGirl · August 2016

Apparently my baby wants all the pork products. I turned up my nose last week at a perfectly grilled steak, and any chicken that crossed my path. But pork? Sausage, Chops, ham, or bacon... I'll take it!

If there is, it's the wrong way!

Gretchypoo · August 2016

I'm lactose intolerant and I'm craving all the cheese and ice cream-- all of it!so now I'm worried I'm not getting enough calcium.

still loving fresh veggies, salads and veggie soups though.

varimama · August 2016

I had a crazy vivid dream about grilled cheese and tomato soup last night. Like I could taste it and was really loving it. I was telling DH this morning about it and apparently I was making mmm mmmm noises in my sleep last night too. Grilled Cheese and tomato soup now added to the dinner menu this week.

WinchesterGirl · August 2016

@marriedhamstermom now I want grilled cheese and chili, but it's so freaking hot here.

varimama · August 2016

@WinchesterGirl it's hot here too but I still really like soups and chili. DH usually isn't but he's been very sweet and going more with what I want to eat since I'm pregnant.

BlondePeanut · August 2016

To add to the popcorn....white cheddar popcorn

lfrank12 · August 2016

The cafeteria has loaded tots with queso as the afternoon snack offering. I couldn't help but indulge in them, although now I am paying for it with heartburn!

birdiejo · August 2016

@lfrank12 that sounds amazing and I need some now.

selkie218 · August 2016

I'm almost 18 weeks and still don't have much of an appetite. But now I feel physically ill (dizzy, clammy) if I don't eat. My DH keeps making me eat steak which I know is good for the baby but I can barely choke it down. I can't wait for the cravings to begin. Sounds like more fun!

MrsP052909 · August 2016

That would be low blood sugar @cmhughes04 before I got my appetite back I would drink a carnation instant breakfast high protein shake and it would help. Hope you get your appetite back soon!

expandcontract · August 2016

I just finished making dinner and I have no desire to eat it. Maybe I should just start drinking Ensure to get my nutrients.
But hey! At least I can look at raw meat without throwing up, now!!

MLRocha · August 2016

I'm trying to figure out what I can eat with the least amounts of sugar possible... I have a bio-metric screening in the morning for work. I need to pass three out of five health metrics to save a bunch of money on my insurance for next year. Last year I missed blood sugar by 1 point.

Scrambled eggs with shredded cheese and salsa? I'm hopeful.

Side note: I also have to fast 8-12 hours before the screening; which is going to make the morning suck. Maybe I'll get a pass on the weight/waist size because I'm pregnant?

MrsP052909 · August 2016

@MLRocha definitely tell them your pregnant. When we did our insurance screening, I got a pass from fasting because at that point I couldn't even get out of bed unless I had something to eat.

expandcontract · August 2016

Baked Mac and cheese.

becks13-2 · August 2016

Pizza from Boston Pizza tonight -- and tomorrow too as I finish off the left overs! lol

My mom makes the BEST homemade version of this! So good.

Patience7150 · August 2016

It's 7:42am and I need a bowl of tomato soup.

MLRocha · August 2016

Chocolate chip bagel & hazelnut cream cheese from Panera.
(passed my bio-metric test this morning; so, glucose level be damned)

scifichick09 · August 2016

50 cent corn dogs all day at Sonic!

expandcontract · August 2016

@scifichick09 I logged onto TB via PC for the first time in weeks and I'm just now seeing your siggy. LOL. He just keeps going and going. He never runs out of jizz!

Kaylea31 · August 2016

@MLRocha I told them I was pregnant when I went for my biometric screening for insurance. She said they basically just give us the points if we're pregnant or breastfeeding even if we don't meet the metric.
Not sure how your company works their program though.

Just sent an urgent text to DH! Maybe he'll pick me and the pups up after work and take us all out for corn dogs... I'm sure they are heated past steaming in the delicious, fried batter.

@Kaylea31 - The tech taking my blood wasn't sure but made a note on my chart. Since I got three out of five within goal range, I don't have to call about getting the weight/waist number waived (I never actually pass that one anyway). Weird thing was that my total triglycerides were WAY higher than the limit; I never miss that one.
