can't eat veggies.. uugghhh hungry all the time!!

Hey girls!! I havent made an official intro yet (still getting over the shock that IVF worked! )
Im currently 8.5 weeks pg with twins!
Normally, Im a pretty healthy eater and I try to be conscious of what Im eating but for some reason, I cannot stomach veggies. It gives me really painful gas cramps
But the problem is I am hungry all the time. Not just a little hungry.. like I NEED TO EAT RIGHT NOW OR ELSE!! about every 2.5-3 hours.
Carbs are the easiest to digest but i think that might be why im always hungry... my body's just burning through it.
What are you girls eating?

So excited for you!!

I tried having hard boiled eggs and cheese snacks handy... Some small servings of nuts. Anything with a little more protein helped me out.

Re: can't eat veggies.. uugghhh hungry all the time!!

thanks babe!! Ive been eating a lot of trail mix, pb&j. I was eating eggs daily up until this week and the smell/taste of it litterally makes me dry heave
Mostly its cereal with bananas. I always have meat with dinner/lunch but i can never pair it with veggies... Ill keep trying different things

Re: can't eat veggies.. uugghhh hungry all the time!!

i kinda know what you mean. i need to eat every 2-3 hours as well, and while before getting pregnant, i ate a huge salad for lunch almost daily, i cannot even stomach it now most days. my eating habits have gone down the tubes - i "try" to make healthier choices for 75% of the day, but either for bfast or dinner each day, there's always something not good for me. i can't help it! i have been making my own yogart parfaits for breakfast this week and it holds me over a lot longer than other options. i buy a big thing of stonyfield organic yogart, dump some into a bowl and throw some berries on there and a handful of granola.
i saw your posts on the infertility board. so happy for you. congrats!!

besides vegetables, I eat a lot of:
-fruit
-crackers
-mixed nuts
-cheese
-greek yogurt

and I drink a lot of water. It actually made me feel fuller throughout the day.

i ate mostly carbs also in my first trimester but tried to have more fruit either the dried kind or in those little cups. I had nuts and tried to eat vegis that were inconspicuously put into other things. Mixed in pasta or something like that. I also tried to get those little V8 drinks cause thats about as much as I could do. 2nd trimester I was able to eat differently
