I am 6w1d and BAM all of a sudden this afternoon food sounds/smells/tastes gross, and I feel like I'm on the verge of having to run to the bathroom (TMI ... Let's just say for a variety of reasons ...)
All I can choke down for dinner today is a biscuit and mac and cheese. I really hope I leave this "carbs only" phase as quickly as I got here!

Eek! This is not encouraging as I'm only a couple days behind you! I hope you feel better relatively quickly and I wish you veggie cravings!

I was carbs only for weeeeeeks and I still didn't gain weight so don't stress about it. At this point just eat whatever you can keep down.

I'm 6w3d and last night, for the first time, I got up to pee 6x at night. 6 times!!
I didn't have much of an appetite today and asked DH to eat his dinner (japanese curry over rice) far, far away from me

Aww, I feel for you and hope you start feeling better soon! BUT, just in case, don't get your hopes up too much...I was sure mine would go away quickly, but at 10 weeks I still feel like I'm about to puke quite often. This morning I ate breakfast over a trash can, just in case. If carbs make you feel good, eat them! Maybe go for like whole wheat toast instead of ice cream and frosting, though.

Oh, yeah. I was in the carbs-only phase from about 6-10ish weeks, and I still really can only choke down salad and the occasional piece of chicken. Also, thanks, because now all I want is a biscuit and some mac and cheese 
ETA it seems like all I want lately is Mexican food, which really sucks for my heartburn.

I was 6 weeks to the day when mine hit me like a truck - but it went away about 3 1/2 weeks later!
In that time though and for a little while after I was still having some major food aversions even without nausea. Mac and Cheese and I became good friends, and my husband was happy to eat out for lunch every day since I couldn't stand to make us anything in the mornings (so stereotypical my nausea was awful first thing in the AM). Things eventually went back to normal though so don't worry about it and just do what you can to get through it

Oooh that is no fun, my carbs phase lasted until 15 weeks, however I didn't gain much weight since most of it didn't stay down so dont' worry about that, just try to eat when you can!

@MrsCastro: FYI the B6 did absolutely nothing for me unless paired with unisom. Then it was a life saver.

@MamaMoose: so did you just take the night dose? and not take any B6 durning the day?
GOLD / squash / 13464 posts
@MrsCastro: every night I took half of a unisom tab and 50mg of B6 and that helped me feel better the whole next day.
