My appetite sucked the last few days, plus i have slow digestion and I feel full faster and it lasts longer. I think maybe m/s is beginning to creep up on me. Anyways, here's what I had so far today:

:

• Oatmeal w/hemp seeds, ground flax, pecans, cinnamon, raisins, and rice milk
• Green Tea
• Raspberry Leaf tea
• 1 banana
• Chicken Soup
• 1 graham cracker
• 8 oz yogurt

For the rest of the day I plan to eat:

• 1 orange
• 1 apple
• Dinner (chicken and red swiss chard, maybe some wild saffron rice)

[DawnLasp]

Oh yeah,

Since my appetite been poor, I talked to my husband today about getting some of that hemp protein powder so I can boost my protein without having to eat too much more solid foods.

I've had-

granola bar
coffee
chicken wrap
fries
pregnancy tea





I'm actually shocked reading this thread. I guess I had no idea what vegan really meant!

[zoebugsmom]

It hasn't been a good food day. I didn't have morning sickness with my first 2 so I'm kind of in culture shock.

Oh, I forgot. I had an apple at lunch, too.

[Mrshawwk]

Today I had a sprouted wheat bagel for breakfast (sounds gross, but with gobs of butter is actually good). Cottege cheese and potato chips for lunch (I think organic potato chips shouldn't count as potato chips.. ). For snack I had a cookie, cheese and a bottle of kombucha. I had a bit of roast beef for dinner, then a second dinner of scrambled eggs. Milk and water to drink in the day...not a bad day I guess. I did have another cookie a few minutes ago though. Not much in the way of calories... That's a big problem for me in pregnancy, I just don't want to eat! But at least I didn't feel sick, high ho for that!

[Baby_Cakes]

Ok, I'll post what I ate yesterday.

Peppermint tea
Almonds
6 morningstar chicken strips (barely choked them down)
luna bar
honeydew
water
sour candies
saltines

and...

one FABULOUS baked potato, with margarine, garlic salt, and tofutti sour cream. It was like GOURMET.

My m/s seems to stop around 3:30 or 4. If I take a nap when I get home, it starts back up, but nowhere near as bad as it is in the morning. Today for some reason, I'm feeling ...okay. No signs today. For that I am THANKFUL.

[DawnLasp]

This sucks, it's hard for me to eat. When I got home from work yesterday, I counted that I had only 30 grams of protein for the day. So, I made a protein shake, then had some pasta with kidney beans. I think that probably boosted me up to about 60 or so grams. Between the shake and the pasta with beans, I felt so gross afterwards like I had totally pigged out or something. I had indigestion for the rest of the night, and I had some acid reflux as I was going to bed. I need to find some better ways to get my protein intake to 80 grams/day without feeling like I ate too much. I want to incorporate a hard boiled egg each day, that would help a little. I just don't feel like eating, nothing appetites me, it sucks! I have some totally nutritious kale and red swiss chard in my fridge that I have not been in the mood to eat all week long. :

[Baby_Cakes]

Dawn, I'm struggling with the protein too! Right now I'm struggling with EVERYTHING, but I guess I'm the most concerned about the protein.

I didn't have nausea today!

I did have a total aversion to food, but at least I didn't have the terrible, head to the desk, sucking on sour candy, awful awful nausea I've had for the past 3 days. It was nice to have a little break. :-)

Managed to eat a Boca chicken patty about 20 min ago, but I had to cut it into tiny pieces (and didn't quite finish the whole thing...) and I'm eating a Luna bar now. Add that to the fries I choked down earlier, and we're talking success for me, people! I'm ready for another baked potato for dinner, and maybe some beans or something protein-y on the side. We shall see.
