What to eat?

Question

Hi ladies! 
For the past couple of weeks I have been so sick and nauseated. I'm also constantly hungry and so tired of eating when I can't stand the thought of food. Anyone have any suggestions on what has worked for them?

Answer

I couldn't eat anything for about three weeks myself, around weeks 5-8/9. The few things I COULD stomach were triscuits, cheddar cheese, chicken soup, and apples. I also tried to drink Gatorade zero on days where I could barely eat! Good luck, it gets better!!

Answer

Oranges were my best friend during the worst of morning sickness

Answer

Bland foods for me have been a saviour.  Here's my list:

Watermelon
Cucumbers
Celery
Honey dew and cantaloupe 
Berries 
Saltine crackers

I couldn't keep anything down and unfortunately had to get a prescription.  It's been helping SO much!!  I highly recommend Diclectin

Answer

I stick to bland foods now. I tried Buffalo wings and that was all bad.
My daily food intake is:
Plain croissant
Fresh fruit
Veggies
Plain noodles with butter and parm cheese
Ritz crackers
Sparking water
Ginger tea

Answer

A few things that work for me:
Manchego cheese and baguette 
Saltine crackers
Chicken noodle soup - my go to lunch option
Chicken salad/avocado sandwich - lunch
Greek yogurt with honey and Special K
Cheddar and pretzel goldfish
Pho with beef
Rice porridge 
Oatmeal

Answer

Rice! Has been my saving grace and yogurt. With my last pregnancy the lemonade vitamin water really helped with the  nausea

Answer

At its worst, I was getting by on easy-to-digest proteins like eggs (fried or boiled), low sugar yogurt, guacamole, spoonfuls of peanut butter. Definitely experiment with hot/cold/room temp options (I only want room temp or cold). The other thing that got me to bounce back was cutting out sugar and carbs - no crackers or juice (except prune), no soda or sugar candies.

It was comfort foods that got me really eating again. The smell of Mexican food made me hungry, and so I ate Mexican every meal for like 2 days straight. That gave me the strength to keep eating, and I've been pretty ok since.

Answer

I am feeling your pain!  I don't WANT anything and I'd give anything for a craving right now, haha!  I've had some success with sour patch kids, peanut m&ms, cheddar goldfish, peppermint altoids or spearmint gum (they help reduce the nausea), Mac & cheese, chicken noodle soup (broth and noodles only) and celery with peanut butter.  I can't say they work every day but I have been able to get them down even when I don't feel like eating anything.

Answer

Campbell's Chicken with rice soup has saved my life!! Lol that and crackers are they only thing I can hold down! And the warmth is very soothing to my upset stomach

Answer

For me, for some reason, sour foods have been my friend. Grapefruit, oranges, sauerkraut, and pickles... But other acidic things like raw tomatoes make me super sick... And so does dairy! It's just the crappy task of figuring out what works for you! Good luck! Sorry it's rough for now!
