Anyone losing their appetite?

[Googy]

I am. Not terrible, but I can't eat lunch or snacks anymore. I can eat a little breakfast and dinner and that's it. I'm trying as best I can to make what I can eat really "count" nutritionally-speaking, though its really hard on days when I'm really tired! I can still drink even when I can't eat, so I'm trying to drink more milk and smoothies so at least I'm getting some calories and protein. Anyone else losing their appetite?

I never got one to begin with, but it is getting worse. I ate very well through the 1st and 2nd trimester and now all I want is junk. I struggle to eat well now.

Lawd, no!

I've only just started eating a bedtime snack, which was a nightly requirement during my last pregnancy and the whole time I BFed my DD. I've actually been surprised this whole pregnancy that I haven't wanted to eat a horse at any given moment. My appetite is picking up a bit, lately, though.

I've been struggling with this lately.... it's not that I'm not hungry, it's just that the whole idea of food is not appealing to me. Up until a few weeks ago I was eating wonderfully...now it's just not a burning desire like it was!

Perhaps THAT is why my nausea has returned so much... or perhaps the nausea is why my desire to eat has waned. Which came first? the chicken or the egg?

ya, after the weeks and weeks of m/s, i never did get my appetite back... eating is such a CHORE for me right now. i know i'm hungry, and i should eat something, but i just can't bring myself to do it. nothing tastes good to me anymore. i feel like i have to force feed myself, and i hate that

[maisiedotes]

UGH- I am so sick of eating! I got busted yesterday at my NST- the nurse said "you skipped breakfast, didn't you!" Well, I didn't skip it, it just came back up because of this dang morning sickness. I am just not hungry. I force myself to eat certain things at every meal: always a grain, a protein, and a fruit at breakfast, a salad and/or soup with lunch (usually with a sandwich), and a salad before dinner. I never thought I would see the day that I didn't want to eat. I am a self-proclaimed "food-whore".

I am definitely not eating as much as I was. I also am slacking on my food charts for birth class--I don't wanna see how little protein I'm eating.

I'm in the same boat here. But starting a new medicine today. I've been really nauseous the last few weeks. The mw's decided to switch me to a new med, hopefully it will help some. I basically skipped lunch yesterday (had a 4 oz. yogurt and an apple) because nothing really sounded too good. Then I took a nap in the afternoon. Boy, did I wake up with food on the mind after not eating much for most of the day. I made some whole grain nutty pancakes for dinner. If I feel up to getting to the store today, I'm going to make a broccoli cheddar soup.

I wish. I still eat too much, keep hurting myself cause I am stretched to the max.

My stomach is definitely squished. I can't eat as much as I used too, but force myself to eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day, focusing a lot on protein so these girls can grow, grow, grow!

[Grace24]

Yes! So frustrating! I'm hungry but nothing sounds good!

[Graceoc]

yep, I have to force myself to pay attention and eat. Nothing sounds good...it stinks!

I just don't remember to eat (at least something) every 2 hours. The only thing that really helps me is keeping a diet diary. I am so much more aware of how often I eat when keeping one - plus it makes me eat better.

[chrysalis]

yes! i am. i have to make myself eat sometimes...especially dinner. by then i'm sooo tired out i don't even want to cook or fix anything that takes longer than 5 mins. to make. so i leave it to tom lately. lol i thought maybe it was stress related, this not wanting to eat much lately...it could be...seems tom is always adding big stressors to our home life. we may lose this new house as we can't seem to get it refi'd and he went WAY over budget fixing it up before we moved in. oh don't get me started on this guy.
