I ended up loosing 5 pounds in the first trimester. Whenever anything sounded good I ate it. I mostly ate oyster crackers, pasta roni, and strawberries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-manage-to-eat-when-food-makes-you-gag#post-2481927 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 17:11:25 +0000 winniebee 2481927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bagel bites, Cheetos, pickles, Caesar salad. </p> <p>Have to eat snacks all day including the second I open my eyes. If I get hungry I get nauseous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-manage-to-eat-when-food-makes-you-gag#post-2481919 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 17:05:43 +0000 Maysprout 2481919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Small bites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-manage-to-eat-when-food-makes-you-gag#post-2481911 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 16:58:07 +0000 gingerbebe 2481911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just nibble constantly on whatever you can keep down. The baby is going to siphon off whatever it needs from your body's own stores, so its just a matter of keeping yourself going. Try getting a Jamba Juice smoothie - something cold and nutritious and substantial - and keep some crackers or bread around. Crystallized ginger slices helped sometimes with the nausea too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-manage-to-eat-when-food-makes-you-gag#post-2481891 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 16:49:02 +0000 pregnantbee 2481891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bagels. Lots of bagels and other carbs. You gotta do what you gotta do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-manage-to-eat-when-food-makes-you-gag#post-2481890 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 16:46:09 +0000 HabesBabe 2481890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate a lot of white rice and cereal when I was pregnant. I ended up losing like, 15 lbs during my first trimester. But then I gained it all back when I felt better 2nd tri and ate everything in sight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-manage-to-eat-when-food-makes-you-gag#post-2481885 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 16:42:36 +0000 MrsKoala 2481885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly? I haven't managed to eat. I'm barely scraping by. What has worked for me: Popsicles, String Cheese, PB&amp;J, Mozzarella Sticks, Pizza (only on occasion), Pop Tarts, Muffins, Smoothies.</p> <p>And that's it. Not very healthy, huh? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-manage-to-eat-when-food-makes-you-gag#post-2481879 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 16:35:15 +0000 MrsRcCar 2481879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Smoothies, fresh fruit with nut/soy butter, and dry cereal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-manage-to-eat-when-food-makes-you-gag#post-2481872 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 16:29:42 +0000 pastemoo 2481872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artsyfartsy: Don't cook anything that smells strongly of anything--or that takes more than 10 minutes of cooking time. Eat fast. Small portions. Leave the room after.<br /> That's all I could do in first tri. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-manage-to-eat-when-food-makes-you-gag#post-2481870 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 16:27:55 +0000 psw27 2481870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate a lot of random foods - whatever I could shove in. Pop tarts and bagel bites and carnation instant breakfast. I went back to all of my childhood favorites. Hang in there :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-manage-to-eat-when-food-makes-you-gag#post-2481869 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 16:26:22 +0000 KatieBklyn 2481869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Smoothies and Greek yogurt are, for me, pretty easy to get down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-manage-to-eat-when-food-makes-you-gag#post-2481867 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 16:25:41 +0000 artsyfartsy 2481867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: @snowjewelz: @jhd: It was never this bad with my first pregnancy. I had some food aversions before today but always managed to eat something substantial. Ugh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-manage-to-eat-when-food-makes-you-gag#post-2481857 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 16:21:08 +0000 jhd 2481857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just ate whatever I could in those early weeks. Not healthy at all, by some days it was potato chips or vanilla wafers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-manage-to-eat-when-food-makes-you-gag#post-2481856 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 16:20:52 +0000 snowjewelz 2481856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, just eat what you can. It was so hard, b/c DH would ask me what I want to eat, but I always told him I don't know whether I want to eat that until I'm there and it's in front of me! I just ate a lot of bland carbs. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-manage-to-eat-when-food-makes-you-gag#post-2481852 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 16:19:45 +0000 FaithFertility 2481852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( this was me with DD! In the beginning I just ate what I could when I could!</p> <p>Now I seem to be ok but definitely have adversions mostly and can only eat small meals </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-manage-to-eat-when-food-makes-you-gag#post-2481849 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 16:14:52 +0000 artsyfartsy 2481849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im 6 weeks and I haven't eaten anything all day but half an apple and some chips. I feel hungry but whenever I get up to go make some food the thought of eating makes me nauseous. Haven't puked yet but I can't stomach food.</p> <p>Currently have chicken in the crockpot for dinner and the smell is making me want to puke. I can't imagine touching it. Ugh.</p> <p>Update: DH just moved the crockpot to the garage. 😂 </p>
