Lately, I've been all about the food.. haven't minded so much even being somewhat sick.. I'm loving all of the different kind of bread products especially pancakes, waffles and french toast.
Mint chocolate chip ice cream is my jam. Where did you get that real life footage of me???
But really, still just bread and cheese. Bagels, toast, soft pretzels. Also, I have been battling severe LPR, a kind of acid reflux, for a few years. Tomatoes, among other things, have been off-limits. Literally all this baby wants this week is tomato sauce.
I'm sure you might have tried this... but have you added sugar to the tomato sauce... it takes away a lot of the acidity. @ashh2018 you don't have to add too much sugar, just a little. when I make homemade Italian red sauce, it's a "secret ingredient". .. and all GIFs are courtesy of GIPHY.. thanks to @BusinessWife
Sweets like cookies and donuts taste like magic to me now, which is weird because I'm more of a salty food person. I'm trying to limit it though so I don't get GD.

when I mentioned I was really loving bread products... donuts is one of those!!!! I've been loving them but I have always. I'm just more into the plain frosted ones instead of the chocolate iced ones now. @starla
as my nausea slows down my appetite is in full force - and I need meals (NOT snacks) on the regular. i want cheesy, and fruity things (all of the lemons - so weird, grapes, apples - and cheddar)
@smsaulino that’s an interesting tip, I’ll try it! My tummy problems had been so severe that I couldn’t even handle it with cheats like that. It’s 10000% better lately, thank goodness, but I’m still supposed to avoid acid. Baby don’t care. He wants pizza. All the pizza. Lol.
@kristencorwin and @marym94 when my nausea was at it's worst, I found that nibbling on plain white bread and apple slices along with sipping on ginger soda throughout the day hugely helped.
@starla Same! I'm not a huge sweets person, but during both of my pregnancies I have craved them!
AFM: cheese, bagels, loaded oatmeal, chips & salsa, fruit, Girl Scout cookies. I DID actually crave and eat a big salad for dinner the other night so I think I'm at a turning point!

Today I am still nauseas, but not nearly as bad as the last week so I ate a cheeseburger and a bunch of fries. They were delicious! Other than that soups with a chicken broth base, bananas and applesauce. I have a very hateful relationship with food right now so I’m ready for the nausea and vomiting to be gone.
@starla H is legit worried I'll get GD. Not because of sweets though. Because roughly 50% of my diet right now is fresh fruits. We'll see how that goes..
@smsaulino Girl yes to Girl Scout Cookies! One of the only drawbacks of being a solopreneur is that I don't have co-workers selling their kid's cookies in the office. And I haven't seen any stands. Trust me, I've been looking.
Like I just said, half my diet is fruit right now. It's been the main thing I could eat with MS. BUT my MS is finally going away, just a lingering queasy feeling. So now I've been eating lots of foods. Veggie burgers, fries, vegan alfredo with "chicken", smoothies, quesadillas. Man I'm hungry! Yesterday I successfully went grocery shopping AND cooked dinner. First time since the BFP that I've done both in the same day.
@SkilledSailor I'm loving smoothies. DH has considered getting a better blender to make them because most of our "fast food budget" has been used at Smoothie King this past month.
Fruit, all of the fruit, and tomato sauce things. And fish.
Plus I really really want sushi and donuts. I am a firm believer of real sushi during pregnancy, so we'll be doing that when I find budget space for it.

Nothing sounds fantastic to me right now, so I'm still kind of just eating to eat. I'm kind of burnt out when it comes to cooking dinner and grocery shopping. Some of the best things I've had lately include a turkey wrap with cucumbers this afternoon, loving me some fruit, a tuna melt earlier this week.
I haven't changed what I've been eating a lot since before getting pregnant, though I've had a couple of cravings (chips and guac, turkey sub).
I definitely had a turning point last pregnancy where I got more energy, so I'm looking forward to getting that back so I enjoy cooking more.
All of you are making me seriously consider busting out my nutribullet and making smoothies in the morning for breakfast. Mmm that might be added to my list this weekend.
<b>Just</b> <b>a</b> <b>PSA</b>: There is a widespread misconception that the mother may cause GD through her dietary choices. <img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/cd/v6db9ap11tp0.gif"> You can do everything, "right," and still get GD. Other moms may not try too hard at all, diet or exercise-wise, and just be lucky enough not to get it. Because it doesn't work like that. If a mom is affected, she likely has a genetic predisposition to it, and it's not something she could have helped.
We are not quite there yet where many of us will be facing our glucose tolerance tests, and some of us may very well receive GD diagnoses... So so just an early word of caution, <i>please</i> let's not beat ourselves up of we happen to pull the GD card. It's not your fault. ❤ <div class="Quote"><img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/co/zsz9ogzm4nez.jpg"> </div>https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/gestational-diabetes-guide/gestational-diabetes <div class="Quote"><img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/mg/i54ocpf0wtal.jpg"></div>https://www.medicinenet.com/gestational_diabetes/article.htm#what_causes_gestational_diabetes
@BusinessWife I'm glad you mentioned this. I was going to say something along those lines that it's not based on what someone eats. It matters more what you eat once you get the diagnosis of GD.
I am an early rise/ early breakfast/ 11 am lunch person. I missed lunch due to the long inspection and then ate a chick fil a meal in about 90 seconds flat at 3 pm. Still feeling bleh and can’t decide if anything sounds good for dinner. Hubs went to have wings with the guys so I am on my own with food choices. Maybe I’ll eat a small snack later? Wish I had some Girl Scout cookies now.

I can’t get enough chips or strawberries. I just alternate throughout the day and try to drink some green smoothies when I’m feeling up for it so my system has some veggies in it. Also....velveeta Mac and cheese. Baby wants salt and strawberries!
I took this picture of my dinner the other night, I was hoping to share (but the thread had disappeared lol)... it looked so pretty, I had to take a pic, and then I realised, I forgot to add the green beans! Lol then I smooshed them onto the plate, too, and it didn't look quite as pretty. But there were also green beans. <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/j2/4f9d9g2vxky0.jpg" alt=""> That's Yankee pot roast, ya'll. Boom.
@nsquaredlife13 OMG!!!!! I'm loving it!!!! We don't have any syrup or whip cream in the house so I've been eating pancakes, waffles and french toast with strawberry and blueberry jam on top.
@kristencorwin and @marym94 when my nausea was at it's worst, I found that nibbling on plain white bread and apple slices along with sipping on ginger soda throughout the day hugely helped.
I need to try ginger soda! why have i not? I have been drinking the ginger hot tea but now have a huge aversion to it so the soda sounds refreshing. thanks!
@klj0228 nnoo!! That’s the worst! DH has been bringing home a different jar every couple days trying to find the exact flavor i’ve been hankering . Dill, but white not green. Of course once he got the label i was picturing, it didn’t taste as good... but they he found claussen’s and I am in heaven! HAHA

So disappointed. I came here hoping to steal ideas for meal prep this week and all I get are donuts, girl scout cookies, and one healthy Yankee pot roast. I'll just keep eating this bag of sun chips.
Eta, because I can't stand to comment on the special snowflake thread, shamrock shakes are available. Have been since Feb 1. I enjoyed two last week.
Re: What My Pregnant Self is Eating 2/22
I had applesauce today.. that's it
You guys, I just had a Snickers ice cream bar at work and it was incredible. I don’t even know who I am
anymore!
