Today for me...

oatmeal & scrambled eggs, skim milk
brown rice & black beans w/ cheese, lettuce, tomato, 2 corn tortillas
handful of grapes
hot chocolate made with skim milk

That's it so far. I'm feeling hungry and need to go have a healthy snack, but what? Off to find something...


Ended up with a toasted whole wheat bagel with peanut butter and a glass of skim milk. I'm craving milk like crazy these days which is so unlike me.

Guys, I'm still misery personified. Yesterday I had a nice nausea free day, but today it's back (not as bad, but it's still there).

And I am in SUCH a foul mood.

Sesame bagel - dry, picked at about 1/3 of it.
Sour candy - 1
Rice - white with some soy sauce. I ate about a forkful, gagged. Threw it out.
Saltines - 3
2 small orange slices
Bolthouse Farms Perfectly Protein drink - trying to drink this. It's got 19g of protein. I think I need it.

[NotTheOnlyOne]

I decided to start the Best Odds Diet. I cannot, I refuse to gain 30 pounds, but of course I want my baby to get everything he/she needs. I started yesterday and did pretty good. Mainly the key is no refined sugars or grains. I had:

Steel cut oats w/ ground flax and raisins
Whole wheat bread and peanut butter
banana, apple, pineapple, strawberries
salad w/ yellow peppers, cucumber, carrots and tomatoes
black beans and wheat thins
2 eggs w/cheese on a sandwich

doesn't that seem like enough? I was pretty much eating like a junk food junkie. So maybe I'll actually lose a small amount of weight and then I can gain some back.

[nhapmom]

so far....
Feb. 8

2 cups coffee

2 pkgs. oatmeal

raw milk (thats all i drink)

2 chix tortillas w/ black beans

raw milk

large orange

2 handfulls of peanuts

diet soda (bad!)

i boiled 6-8 eggs at once (i heard of a great easy way to boil eggs from Martha Stewart once...you put the eggs in a pot of water...boil. turn the water off..come back later and refrigerate...believe it or not this has never failed for me!).
i keep eggs in the fridge and down at least 2 a day (i try to anyway)

im doing the Brewers diet so really trying to keep the protein up but im still sooo sooo tired.

My ww bagel w/ peanut butter did NOT sit well yesterday afternoon. I now have a strong aversion to peanut butter which is just as well I guess. I've been pretty nauseous today and have no appetite. I could barely get down my oatmeal and eggs this morning and have only had 1 cup of milk so far today. I had more brown rice, beans, & cheese w/ lettuce & tomato and corn tortillas for lunch again today. That kind of hit the spot but then the nausea came right back a little while after I finished eating. I also had a protein bar this afternoon, and spaghetti, sauteed squash & spinach and ww garlic toast is planned for supper.

Well, I'm not yet 100% sure I belong here (waiting for a test to arrive in the mail, or maybe just waiting until eventually a baby is born, or not), but I figure I'll play along for now!

You have to keep in mind that we are doing SCD right now, and not tolerating a lot of foods. We are still early on so it's a lot of meat. I'm really, really missing variety in veggies too. I'm not sure what I'll end up doing about that.

Today:
2 small home-made sausage patties
1/2 avocado
home-made electrolyte drink (water, baking soda, sea salt, honey and a splash of organic grape juice)
steak
baked pears (just peeled pears cooked in a tiny bit of water)
Lots of spinach and some more sausage patties with different seasoning this time
lemon balm/rrl infusion
1/2 a banana
2 spoonfuls of coconut cream
lots of water

[LemonPie]

Fresh fruit (especially grapefruit)
Fruit smoothies
Yogurt and frozen berries (if I put them together and stick in the fridge for half an hour the yogurt thickens, so the consistency is like frozen yogurt )
Eggs and toast
Salad with added protein--chicken, cheese, nuts, etc.

[Baby_Cakes]

A little better today, but I still didn't get much food down. I did get up at around noon though.

Multigrain Cheerios w/soymilk & 1/2 a sliced banana
a few saltines
2 cups of chocolate soymilk
a handful of animal crackers
Optimum Slim organic cereal w/soymilk
a few bites of the BEST pickle I've ever eaten

Going to have grilled "cheese" and tomato soup for dinner.

[AutumnMelody]

More home-made sausages, this time with a little honey and different spices. I'm glad DH is shopping tomorrow, I'm really sick of these!

lots of green beans with a lemony sauce

1.5 bananas over the course of the day

2 cups of mint tea

grape "jello" (gelatin and organic grape juice)

A little bit of steak

A lot a bit of watercress : tasted really, really good to me today!

carrots roasted in coconut oil with sea salt- also really yummy

just over a qt of lemon balm and RRL infusion

a couple spoonfuls of coconut cream

Cod liver oil

water

[ibusymomto5]

Today so far I've had:

eggs & whole wheat pancakes, 16oz skim milk
stuffed bell pepper - yum!
fresh organic spinach w/ lemon juice

For supper we're having:

baked chicken breast, broccoli, homemade whole wheat bread

Snacks:

yogurt
all bran crackers

orange
walnuts

Plus about a gallon of water & a cup of rrl tea

All that gets me close to 100gms protein for the day.

Right now, since I haven't hit the m/s stage, I'm eating my normal diet. I have about 2000 cals a day since I burn about 3000 (1950 basal, 900 from working out). I eat every 2-3 hours and foods include Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal, yogurt fruit smoothies, Kashi protein bars, tortillas with melted cheese, lots of milk, Healthy Choice Panini's, and then a salad and a main dish for dinner. I normally have a bowl of ice cream too because I refuse to give up ice cream! It's my fave food.

I'm having a difficult time with the limitations of pregnancy eating though. When I eat steak, I eat it medium-rare to medium and I eat a lot of seafood so I can get my protein w/o having to eat a lot of other meat (not a huge fan of meat). I can't have either of these things!! I'm not a fan of chicken, pork, or turkey so this is really difficult for me. I get most of my protein from dairy products or Kashi products and I know it's not enough.

I figure if I have m/s, I'll just eat whatever I can keep down and not worry about what it is. I've been talking to my Doula about ways to keep m/s at bay too.

These past two days have been okay. I find that when I do get hungry, I still have to eat slowly and see how I feel after and while I'm eating. No nausea doesn't mean I'm home free!

Yesterday was a good day. I had cereal for breakfast, some chocolate soymilk, soup for lunch, and I went to the gym. So that was good. I went out to dinner with my best friend and had a few bites of a portabello mushroom sandwich, so that was awesome. I was able to eat!

Today has been eh. I was okay this morning, but then got really repulsed by food so I had:

Saltines
banana
animal crackers - BAD IDEA. These are just too sweet.
Yves veggie turkey on rye with mustard - didn't settle right, but I ate it.
cantaloupe

I felt really sick after lunch. Like, I was pretty close to letting it come up, but I held it down.

All I wanted after that was frosting. You know, like Duncan Hines chocolate frosting from the can? So...I've had about 4 spoonfuls of the stuff. I give up!

[Baby_Cakes]

How come I'm the only one posting my crappy food intake? C'mon girls!

Peppermint tea
Saltines
Morningstar "chicken" strips (23 g protein! Woo Hoo!)
2 oranges
Mike & Ikes
bbq pringles (boo)
2 homemade cupcakes - delicious!

Not sure about dinner. Will have to be something nutritious after the disaster that was today!

[DreamsInDigital]

So far I've eaten exactly nothing today. It's coming up on 4pm and I'm sooooo ill.

[DawnLasp]

My poor appetite and indigestion has turned into nausea! I haven't barfed yet, thank god! It's hard enough for me to eat anything at all now, and I would probably cry over the toilet bowl if I barfed up all my hard work. I can only eat easily digestible foods, and I have aversions to everything else.

Here's what I've eaten today so far:

• cookies & cream protein shake for breakfast
• carrots
• 2 celery stalks (really helped with my nausea!)
• 2 cinnamon graham crackers
• apple
• banana
• 2 handfuls of raw organic non-salted almonds
• yogurt
• water
• green tea
• raspberry leaf tea

now, I'm actually craving a turkey burger! I was in a meeting at work, and the conference door was open, and I heard someone say "mmm, turkey burger", and I've wanted one ever since! That was like 2 hours ago, and guess what I'll be eating for dinner! : Thank god I heard those words because I have aversions to all other meats and fishes right now, and I desperately need the protein...

[farmerjess]

I want to add here because I am so grateful that i can still eat pretty normally, though I felt so bad today that i don't know how long I'll be able to keep it up:

bf: eggs and toast
snack: tahini and honey sandwich
lunch: some salad, broccoli, baked sweet potato and a few bites of chicken
snack: lots of brown rice crackers
dinner: chicken thigh and a sweet potato.
snack: pear
snack: peanut butter and honey on toast

i am craving CARBS and more CARBS. and fruit. not so much protein or veggies

[LemonPie]

I've got to get rid of the huge slab of chocolate birthday cake we have sitting around here. I've only managed to eat one slice/day which is unusual for me (usually I'd be picking at it all day), but I don't want to even be eating that much!

So far today:

BF: a nectarine and an oz of almonds
Lunch: 1/2 Chipotle chicken burrito bol with guac.
Snack: chocolate cake and a glass of 2% milk

Now I'm sort of queasy. I think I'll wait and have dinner after yoga. I'm thirsty more than anything, even though I'm drinking water all day.

[iamleabee]

i'm really wanting salmon for the last several days. today i had salmon salad AND lox (sort of like salt-cured salmon). yesterday i had sushi with brown rice, avocado and salmon.

do you think eating so much salmon is bad? i think the fatty acids would be good but i'm not sure about the mercury content. what do you guys think?

(ps--if it's really awful don't tell me because i already ate it)

eta: mmmm....all this talk about salmon makes me really want some right now!!!

[LemonPie]

Oooh, I completely forgot about the fish-mercury thing and had a halibut filet for dinner tonight. I seem to recall the issue is more with predatory fish like swordfish and tilefish though???
