Re: What My Pregnant Self is Eating - w/o 8/4

  • @catlady2015 I LOVE your image!  Anyone else having food aversions already?  I can not stand the smell, sight, taste or thought of chicken!  All I want to eat is salmon and I'm having to limit myself so much.  I feel like I don't know what to eat anymore.

  • Just wolfed down a snack bag of Doritos. Mmmm... fake cheese tastes so good. I really need to start planning snacks instead of being at the mercy of the vending machine.

  • @violetmarie61516 - I'm with you on the salmon, it tastes SO GOOD right now! especially pan seared so it gets crispy on the outside ..... but in spite of all my healthier cravings, I literally ate nitrate-free hot dogs for breakfast. They sounded so good last night I bought some and had to have some for breakfast. I hoped they'd go down ok, first bite was questionable, second bite was good, third bite I was ravenous. pregnancy is so glamorous. Otherwise, I want stuff like Fritos and queso dip...

  • @violetmarie61516 Love Salmon! Full of Omega 3's, so can't beat that :)

    Still on my avocado kick. Lately, nothing really sounds good. So mostly been salads, avocados and eggs. I can tell my sense of smell is stronger, every Uber we got into yesterday made me want to gag.

  • I haven't really had cravings, but have had a very real aversion to French fries, and have had a hard time chewing certain kinds of lettuce- anything too coarse makes me gag.
  • Gatorade mixed with water and Ruffles original. Craving lots of salt, haha.
  • @mamaoftwomonkeys That sounds amazing!
  • i have been SO weird with food lately. my weekly sunday "pork roll, egg & cheese bagel" has turned into a plain bagel with cream cheese. my monday night jerk chicken burrito has turned into a chicken quesadilla. i want all the carbs.... and while i dont have an aversion to one specific food, i am definitely having aversions to LOTS of different things. either nothing sounds good ever at all.... or i'm eating like a frat boy. there is no happy medium. 
  • Right now the only thing I have been able to keep down today is peanut butter toast. I have got all the aversions lately.

  • @mschanandlerbong1214 you are the inspiration behind my PBJ.

  • Either nothing sounds very good or I am having very specific cravings, including but not limited to: pop tarts, fruit punch, Kraft Mac and Cheese, cheeseburgers, potstickers, and burritos. Notice there is nothing healthy on that list. Trying to eat in moderation, but it’s hard! 
  • Currently loving my bagel with cream cheese, turkey bacon, and a hard fried egg. Satisfying my carb, salty, and cheese cravings all at one time!
  • I am totally down for mac and cheese all the time! It has been a great stomach settler.

  • @purpleteacher82 now i want a pop tart!!!! s'mores to be specific 
  • @indigoheightsblog I’ve been going for the fruity ones. I won’t let myself buy a box though. I just keep picking them up at gas stations!  :D
  • @catlady2015 I have macaroni and cheese with my lunch. I added a ton of spinach to it to make it slightly healthier. Either way, macaroni and cheese is one of the few things that seems to settle the nausea.
  • @indigoheightsblog I have totally been craving s’mores poptarts!
  • The only thing I craved with DD was hot dogs. I eat hot dogs maybe once a year...unless pregnant apparently. Right now all I want are hot dogs (grilled with a little char to be exact). Last week I had a serious craving for tomato soup. I ate it 4 times in 2 days. It's 100 degrees outside, but it was the only thing that sounded good. Pregnancy is weird. 
  • @brookepdavis My number one aversion right now is hotdogs. just typing it made my mouth water in the I want to puke type way. 

    I have been wanting all the red meat though. Steak and Burgers all day! No chicken or pork though. 
  • I feel like I don't have cravings or aversions so much as leanings. I tend to be in the mood for salty over sweet, which is definitely not my norm, and still interested in cheese and red meat combos.
  • I just had some garden salsa sun chips and they were amazing!
  • I'm 8 weeks tomorrow...

    FOOD AVERSIONS: Coffee (happened 1st/last time too), soda/coke

    What I'm eating? Whatever i can tolerate. Absolutely nothing sounds good...all day nausea. Today i had Ramen for lunch. Some sort of soup is plan for din..fruit for snacks. I have no appetite but force it.

  • I had no food aversions my first pregnancy but this one... whew. Thought of any food makes me ill. I am able to eat, but I just can't think about it, haha. Been drinking watered down Gatorade to keep hydrated. I felt horrible over the weekend and I think it was because I allowed myself to get dehydrated slightly. I am gluten intolerant and ate a real cookie, so that doesn't help with the nausea feeling either. I just need to make better choices, haha.
  • Last night DH made me an ice cream sandwich with vanilla ice cream, two GF chocolate chip cookies, and vanilla frosting on top. It was amazinggggg! 

    And +1 for hot dogs. We have a special pop open kind locally that chars on the grill. I’m trying not to eat them everyday... but I want to do it.

  • I just ordered an entire Domino's pizza for myself, and cheesy bread.
  • Also, aversions: that OP is funny to me because I cannot TOUCH sugar right now! I love sugar, but it was one of the first aversions I developed. 
    Wonderful = burritos
  • Now that I’m on the Diclegis and I can eat a little more I’m all about some chips and salsa for my afternoon snack. Idk why (I mean I usually like it) but it’s like the most amazing thing I’ve ever eaten lately lol

  • We have this place called crazy bowls and it’s all I want. Wrap with pintos, cheddar, double tofu (you can get any protein and any grain), lettuce, avocado, and this incredible spicy pico de Gallo. I want it right now.

  • It’s 8:30AM and I’m eating my chipotle from last nights dinner...pregnancy is weird 
  • Aversions: most meats/fish

    Cravings: Reeses puffs cereal, donuts, the other day it was a Big Mac! I've always been a fruits and veggies girl, so these junk food cravings are crazy!

    The most normal meal I've managed lately was a thai stir fry with chicken, eggs, scallions, carrots, and rice noodles, all covered in peanut sauce and sriracha! Otherwise it's been spoonfuls of nutella and random carbs.
  • Tacos and veggie subs are a MUST for me right now. I have also really craved NY cheese pizza and Italian ice.
  • @purplepirate09 I made black bean tacos last night that were so good I had to have them for lunch again today! 

    Also, ever since reading the pregnant crying thread I desperately want a baked potato. 
  • This could totally also go in "randoms" but one thing I'm loving about being pregnant is not arguing with DH about food. Whatever I want.... he lets me make the calls when normally he'd totally b*tch and complain! 

    Example: I LOVE thai food. He's "eh" about it. We get it very occasionally because it's not his favorite but this week he agreed to it Tuesdsay night. I drive all the way to my favorite spot 15 minutes away and the place is randomly CLOSED! I was devastated and *neeeeeeded* thai food anyway, so we went to a new place and it wound up being horrible. Today I said "I know we just had it two days ago but I really never scratched my thai food itch...... do you mind if we have a re-do tonight for dinner?" and he magically, and quickly, replied "no problem babe" - AMAZING!!!! If only it were that easy all the time :) 

    So.... What my pregnant self is eating: steamed thai dumplings, basil chicken (minced). Please and thank you.
