What did you eat most recently? Salad with grilled chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, hard boiled egg

What are you craving? Anything and everything. I change my mind every hour - if I see something on TV or read about something I automatically want it. I woke up craving fried jalapenos! 

What turns your stomach at the sound of it? Don't hate me... nothing yet. I have had a couple hours of queasiness but overall nothing that makes me feel sick to my stomach. I'm sure I won't be completely lucky to get away without any sickness!

What did you eat most recently? fermented oatmeal with blueberries and raw honey

What are you craving? Snyder's jalepeno pretzles, anything spicy or heavily spiced like indian food, toast with butter, fruit smoothies

What turns your stomach at the sound of it? Meat and greens, usually. Chicken has been the hardest and I find I cannot eat it unless it is marinated breast meat, and at that I can only stomach a few bites. I was eating paleo for 5 mo before I got pregnant and now my family has transitioned back to eating grains and potatoes because of me. No one is complaining though. And we try to sprout them beforehand but I don't always have the energy or memory to do it.

fermented oatmeal??? Can you tell me more about that?  Like, how it tastes, how you do it, benefits?  :D  SOOO Curious!

[nearlyelated]

Just came back from lunch.

I had cold oatmeal (oatmeal, yogurt, raspberries and chia seeds) and a veggie salad.

I wanted to eat what everyone else was eating: grilled cheese, ramen noodles, perogies!  

Definitely on a cheese/salt/carb mission.

What did you eat most recently?  A slice of sourdough bread in the car, after an inadvisable little binge on gummy berries and figs.

What are you craving?  Right now a bacon, cucumber, tomato and goat cheese sandwich sounds good.

What turns your stomach at the sound of it?  Chicken.  I just can't handle the smell or thought of it.  Normally I love it, but this pregnancy I've been all about the red meat.

What did you eat most recently? Sesame chicken and strawberry fruit snacks. That's right, like a little kids' packed lunch.

What are you craving? A steak and baked potato. NEED PROTEIN! IRON! haha

What turns your stomach? chicken. caffeine. I don't know why chicken is a number one offender this pregnancy. mango.

What did you eat most recently?  Cold pizza and iced mint tea

What are you craving? ice water, lemons, grapefruit, bagels and cream cheese, eggs

What turns your stomach at the sound of it? vegetables , cucumbers, meat

I am a vegan and came down with West Nile at 5 weeks.  Lost a lot of weight and still recovering.  Couldn't eat at all, my vegan diet went down the drain.  Now I"m eating cheese, but no meat again.  Hope to kick the dairy soon.  It's hard when I can't eat veggies.

Just want to say this thread really got me motivated to eat better even when I don't feel like it.  Thanks everyone!

Last thing I ate:  Feta, Cranberry, Walnut Salad with Chobani Plain Yogurt

Craving: Feta Cheese :)

jodieanneanton, fermented oatmeal (or sprouted, if you want) is a traditional way to prepare grains (and nuts, seeds, and beans) before eating them to help break down their antinutrients which inhibit digestion of all other nutrients. It is easier to digest and absorb all the goodness from food. It tastes just like regular oatmeal. You can soak the oatmeal overnight (or for longer--24 hrs or a few days even) in water and a tbsp sea salt (or apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, or whey). Rinse it under running water in the morning and cook on the stove like normal. You can do this same thing with all legumes and grains, seeds...etc. It is a much healthier way to eat them and doesn't tax the gut, which regular grains and cereals are infamous for. Resources: Fallon's Nourishing Traditions Cookbook and www.westonapricefoundation.org are great! I learned a lot from the GAPS book by Dr. Campbell-McBride, and there is wealth of info on the specific carbohydrate diet website: www.breakingtheviciouscycle.com

Hope you find some useful information!

[scruffy too]

I'm excited to have my appetite back after having food adverions to almost everything.  It seems anything cooked was off the menu - so I live off raw fruit and veggies.  Right now I'm eating hummus and crackers and grapes.

I had a vegan blt minus the t. After I strted drinking a mango madness naked and now I feel sick. I think it was the naked. Blech

Over 12 weeks and my stomach is still super sensitive. I eat, I get sick. I don't eat, I get sick.

[beautifulnm]

Just ate: bruschetta with chèvre on toasted bread.
Turn off: still chicken though yesterday I contemplated barbeque chicken
Craving: corn on the cob

[writermama12]

Just ate: spinach gnocci with red sauce and summer squash, goat cheddar and crackers

Can't stand: meat that is tough to chew, won't even try it. yuck.

Craving: hard boiled eggs-- I ate like four yesterday

What did you eat most recently?

I'm eating some Thai green curry with pork right now!

What are you craving?

During my m/s (weeks 5.5-11.5 or so) I craved the junkiest carbs ever-- Cup O'Noodles, Spaghetti-Os, donuts and any sort of fried potatoes.  Now I feel totally back to normal and my eating is good...  If I have a craving, it's for ruby red grapefruit juice.  Oh, and I do crave chopped liver, partly because I love it and partly because I "can't" have it.  I'm not one for lots of restrictions, but I do heat my lunchmeat to steaming and such (to prevent listeriosis)...  Only, with chopped liver, if you try to heat it that much, it just kinda explodes anyway.    Plus the super levels of Vitamin A are not the best in pregnancy.  So I'm leaving it out for as long as I can stand it.

What turns your stomach at the sound of it?

Not much now...  Or ever, I guess.  I didn't have many food aversions, even in the thick of m/s.  I just strongly preferred cr@p.

No aversions so far this pregnancy!

I literally would chug ruby red grapefruit juice while pregnant with ds. I could not get enough of it.. and typically don't drink it at all!

I need a place to vent. Yesterday I didn't so well and felt like poo at bedtime. Even though I breastfeed and walked an hour, eating 2400 calories was a little too much and I only ate a few fruits and veggies. I think my guilt really lies in the bites of ice cream I stole from my son and the blueberry danish I couldn't resist because they are my favorite thing in Salem and I had an appt. there. Ugh.
