so much for eating healthy

I have been feeling nauseaus all day. I did not want to eat what I brought for lunch so I went out and got fast food with some others from work. That was the first time in over a week that I did not feel sick from eating. I was able to eat my entire meal and feel good for about 1 and a half hours afterwards. I think it may have been the salt on the fries that helped. Now I remember that last night I had some Cheetos and they made me feel less nauseaus.

Man, this is going to be a long pregnancy and I am going to gain 100 pounds if this is how I need to eat to feel good.

Salty potato chips and oranges used to make me feel so much better at the beginning...then my tastebuds changed...eat what makes you feel better!

You are not alone!!

Tonights dinner....two cheeseburger meal from Mickie D's!!!

Re: so much for eating healthy

I was nauseas all day long until I ate a bag of potato chips. I feel like a new woman now! The fruit was just NOT cutting it!

Whatever makes you happy!

Re: so much for eating healthy

OMG the same thing happened to me today!! I was disgustingly nauseous all morning and for some reason I got it in my head that Taco Bell would be okay to eat. One magical Crunch Wrap later and I felt GREAT! I said to DH I'm going to gain 400 lbs if this is the only thing that makes me feel good

Glad to know I'm not alone - we can be be work out buddies after we deliver

I am so happy I am not alone in this. This whole time I was trying to be good and eat fruits and veggies and get in my servings of milk and fish and forcing myself to eat these things only to feel worse afterwards. What was I thinking. Why can't potato chips and french fries be a required food we need for nutritional value!

Re: so much for eating healthy

potato chips and McDonald's are the few things that don't make me sick....who would have thought???

My mom told me once that when she was pregnant with me all she could stomach and keep down was White Castle.

Guess it's like mother, like daughter.

Don't worry about it--chances are, you'll be able to tolerate healthier food when M/S passes, probably in the 2nd trimester.

I was the same way--veggies made me gag, meat of any kind (except fish) was out of the question, which left bread, cheese, and fruit. I think I lived on pizza and potato chips, both made me feel better. Lousy diet, but I could eat the food without feeling sicker.

Re: so much for eating healthy

I asked my doctor about my eating at my last appt - he said, honestly, at this point (1st trimester), eat what is going to make you feel better. So that is what i do! I live on carbs right now.

When I had horrific morning sickness, the only thing I could eat was french fries and waffles, and I still lost 13 pounds off my size 4 frame!!!
