@rooonilwaazlib while I drink mostly ice water, I break it up with a daily glass of OJ and an occasional Gatorade or vitamin water. When I’m craving carbonation I get myself one of those IZZE flavored drinks. Smoothies are also a great option! I know it’s hard to chug nothing but water day after day for 9 months!!
@rooonilwaazlib I am the same way right now. Water makes me gag and that's all I ever drink (not pregnant). Right now I've been enjoying Steaz. I like the half green tea half lemonade. I can stomach an entire can. Last week I drank a six pack of seltzer water in one day. This week I can't even look at it. I've been putting cucumber and watermelon chunks in my water. That's helping big time.
I don't want anything but water. Food is just gross. I did eat a hotdog because that's what I made for dinner. I'm still paying for it. I. Feel. Disgusting. I want to sleep, but I can't even do that. I should put a small garbage can by my bed, or something. I love food, so this is just depressing.
I put peanut butter on my grocery list but H decided to buy cashew butter instead. I usually like it but it is NOT what I wanted and I couldn’t even stomach it this morning. Now allI want is a real pb&j Rookie mistake, dude
The cravings for carbs are so real, but I can't eat gluten (as of two years ago). I will literally walk through the store looking at ramen, mac and cheese, tortillas, pasta.... basically everything I can't eat looks absolutely amazing right now.
We have a basically weekly dinner date with one of our best friends for taco Tuesday. I just told MH that he may put 2+2 together when I make myself ramen instead of tacos. Red meat of any kind makes me want to gag.
My office provided lunch today. It was everything I didn't want. Then I didn't have food and DH had already taken his lunch as well and couldn't go get me anything. I had to go to the vending machine and get string cheese.
I just want to go home so badly. Like today is just rough for me.
I just ate a plain baked potato with some butter and it was ah-mazing. I've been trying not to throw up for a couple hours and I feel a lot better having gotten that down.
I was at a cupcake shop today (one of our faves) since my meeting location was right next to it and I have never been so depressed about the fact that I was not excited at all picking out our usual flavors. Grabbed four cupcakes for DH to treat himself to throughout the week. Sigh.
Meanwhile, it’s raining HARD and I just want pad thai or drunken noodles extra spicy. Yet another spicy meal I’m craving today. I should buy some Tums
@sparkymcgeee Your vending machine has string cheese?!? We have chips, cracker, candy, and some tuna.
I'm all about the carbs, spicy foods, and junk food. But the thought of even cooking is making me nauseous. But I have to for my family... I'm cooking tonight and I'm putting it off for until the last minute.
I eat a mostly paleo diet with no tomatoes because of stomach issues. Tonight I had pasta with meat sauce for the first time in 6 years. Oh. My. God. I can’t stop thinking about it and it’s all I want to eat.
I went to the grocery store to get lunch because they have a deli counter. I got myself a turkey sandwich (I heated up the meat. Calm down) but then I bought all the things. I bought gummy bears, a pound of strawberries, an oatmeal raisin cookie and some regular potato chips.
Jolly ranchers. Nausea has been back in full force the last two days (I threw up at work for the first time today) and jolly ranchers are the only thing that can kind of tame the beast.

I have been obsessed with the passion fruit La Croix this last week. I hate every flavor I've tried except for this one. I think I've had close to 6 cans today and I am craving more.

I've been super craving vegetables and MEAT (and I've been a vegetarian or only very-occasional meat eater for life). Figured I need the iron or something else so am just running with it!
My favorite has been burrito bowls/salads from Chipotle or Qdoba with steak and fajita vegetables, black beans, quac and the spicy salsa, and tons of lettuce. That stuff is so bomb and feels somewhat nourishing.
I will also note I have gained an uncanny amount of weight over the past few weeks. Am hoping at least some of it is water retention! I drank 4+ liters yesterday and 3 of the extra 8 pounds came off so at least there's that.

Carbs, which seem to be the only thing I can get to settle my stomach. I'm trying to be relatively healthy about my carb choices. I'm not sure there is such a thing. Lol! Right now I'm snacking on hard pretzels dipped in honey mustard. I'm having major food aversion to warm food and food with strong aromas, so cold foods seem to be ok (Cheerios with Almond Milk). I started drinking kombucha today to see if I can get my stomach to calm down.
@BitterBetty12 I keep a bag of Jolly Ranchers at my desk to help with nausea. Anything sour seems to help for a few minutes of relief.
Do you have a Westie? The moment I saw your profile pic, my heart may have skipped a beat. I have one and am quite obsessed w this amazing breed. Haha.
@AliKay20 Ah my Dad has a Westie (she was technically mine I picked her out in high school but when I moved out he didn’t want me to take her) and she’s THE BEST.

@AliKay20 yes! I have a westie as well, I know I'm biased but i agree with @BitterBetty12they are the best! I don't know about you but think my westie will be an awesome big brother

I either want bland things or really spicy things.

My biggest craving has been apple juice. I've found it really helps the nausea
Also, salt and vinegar chips are currently all I need in life.

Also Spanish rice and refried beans from a restaurant down the street from us.
I mean at least I bought strawberries.

Because I made a salad with bacon bits, croutons, toasted almonds, bbq sauce and ranch dressing on spring green mix.
Don't judge me! It's delicious!
