anyone STARVING???

[alegna]

No other real symptoms yet, except I'm freakin' STARVING. I could eat two more meals a day.

[kettunainen]

starving with nausea and major food aversion.

it's so much fun.

/sarcasm

[alegna]

:lol Sounds like TONS of fun :wink

Knock on wood no nausea here. A couple of times of food not sounding good, but I was fine once I started eating....

-Angela

[Let It Be]

Yes! Very hungry... even right now :p

What's the rule of thumb on how many extra calories we need to consume? Also, how much water should we be drinking? I heard it was more than average.

[nebetmiw]

Ah yes the Hunger. Thats what I call it. It hits anytime and anywhere and even after you just ate an hour ago. :yum

I have snakes around I can grab fast like nuts, carrots and grapes. To stave it off till I can make a good meal.

[alegna]

mmmm... snakes, I hear they taste like chicken ;) :lol

I don't count calories, I eat healthy food when I'm hungry and drink plenty of water.

:bag:

Let's put it this way.

If it sits still long enough, I'll eat it.

:bag:

[SleepyMamaBear]

omg i am STARVING, like all the time. except the half an hour after i eat anything. it sounded good going down, tasted great. but once my belly has food in it. i am SO not comfortable with food. YUCK!
so, starving, with food aversions and nausea. ugh

[alegna]

I'm not UNcomfortable with food, but I feel REALLY full right after I ate. Even if it wasn't enough to make me really full... but that's been going on since a week before the positive test.

sigh.

[Emma's_Mommy]

Yep me too. I'm surprised, because with ds I was nauseous by now, and constantly for 7 wks, surviving on cereal, fruit and yogurt. The sight, smell or even thought of meat turned my stomach. This time, I'm eating everything and just grazing all day long. And I have the full feeling too, I have to unbutton my pants every time I eat! And I'm so thirsty........... this is what pregnancy and nursing is like.........

[heatherh]

Yep starving here, too. Doesn't matter how much I eat, I'm hungry 2 hours later.

[SleepyMamaBear]

2 hours?
you can go that long?!
:lol
i have literally been eating all day and dont feel satisfied.

[kettunainen]

yeah, 2 hours is a stretch for me, too, but it seems to depend on the day. some days I pee every 20 minutes, some days I'm too tired to talk by 3pm, some days I can't eat a damned thing, some days food actually sounds good (so rare!), some days I need to eat almost constantly and other days I can go 2-3 hours without even thinking about food. nothing makes sense anymore -- it's different everyday.

*looks at clock*
yup, it's been two hours, and I'm hungry now.

[onlyboys]

Congrats Angela! :)

[alegna]

:)

thanks!

[nebetmiw]

Usally I am starving when I wake up. This morning nothing but I ate before I went to bed last night. V8 and ritz peanutbutter sandwhiches. Seems to have done the trick.

Snakes I also have but I do not eat them :lol I always make that spelling mistake and never catch it.:dizzy:

Tamara
ah starting to feel the Hunger.

[shell024]

I went from starving and eating down the house to major food aversion. Dp gets offended when I choose Subway over his home cooked meal, because its the only thing that sounds ok to eat at the time :rolleyes: It really is like going back to childhood, not wanting to eat certain things because they sound "icky". Lol, and I just hear my mom in Dp's voice "But you *always* like that!!" Well not right now I dont, lol.

That said, my nausea isn't nearly as bad as it was with ds1, I haven't even puked once yet (ahh! knock on wood!!). But I think I can attribute that to the :broc: I've been vaporizing. It does WONDERS on my appetite and peace of mind. Brings me back to balance.

[heatherh]

2 hours?

:lol

Well, for now I can go that long. We'll see how long it lasts!

[SleepyMamaBear]

Michelle, my sis has a vaporizer, i've been wondering about asking her to use it. it helps alot then?
cause i am either STARVING, or wanting to puke, or both.

[dantesmama]

I keep going back and forth between "ugh, food" and "OMG FOOD!". I've been starving today. For breakfast I had a bowl of oatmeal, and I was still hungry so I had a cup of yogurt, and I was *still* hungry so I had a banana . . . and then we went for a walk which worked up my appetite again. (At that point I just moved on to lunch.):lol I'm also insanely thirsty. I'm drinking eight or nine bottles of water a day.:dizzy:

For me, it really does help. It is the only thing that works pretty much instantly in brings my appetite full circle. I too am either starving or want to puke. I can sense the latter coming on though, and usually vaporize as soon as I feel it progressing where I dont want to eat because it all makes me gag, but am starving. Then I can pretty much eat anything in a couple minutes. :)

[eri_flores]

Can you explain this 'vaporizor' thing? I have no idea what you are talking
about.

So far (and may it continue) I haven't had much nausea... Two prior
pgs (one to 7 wks, one to 11 wks) and I was SIIIIICK every hour of every day.
I attribute feeling good now to being much healthier than I was before, but
I feel like I'm walking on a precipice where any moment I could topple over
into constant nausea.

I too have to eat ALL DAY LONG! Sometimes I have trouble
figuring out what to eat, and nothing sounds good, but I usually just force
myself to eat *something* and I feel better. Not necessarily satiated, but
better. Then it starts again a few hours later (or minutes, depending!)

dantesmama said "I keep going back and forth between "ugh, food" and "OMG FOOD!""


Same here.

Besides being pg, I am nursing a boob-obsessed 12.5 mo. So I am starving an thirsty constantly. It sucks when I am hungry but having food aversions at the same time :dizzy: What do you do? I am also very picky this time like I was with ds. Like "I am hungry for mixed nuts and I must have them RIGHT NOW!!!"

It is nice to be able to eat so much without feeling guilty:o :loveeyes:

I am starving also! Today I made a quiche to keep in the fridge to munch on, and some Hummus to dip into with carrots. I'm trying to keep healthyish snacks on board so I dont just pull down the chips or pretzels! I seem to need to eat about 6 times a day right now! I try and interspace it with pregnancy tea which also helps a little!

[PiePie]

me! need to follow pp and get some healthy snacks on hand. i feel like i'm constantly cooking, doing dishes, or scrounging for something to eat!

[mommysusie]

Yes, it's weird because I alternate between really hungry, really thirsty, really nauseaus, or really tired.

[*~Member~*]

I swear I'm CONSTANTLY Hungry I eat and like 40 minutes later my stomach is hungry again!

[nebetmiw]

Looks like my hunger phase has passed on me. I am not going thru that must eat Now call. Its more I feel it but it not so strong anymore. It also does not hits first thing in the morning more like 10am now and then again at 4 pm then again at 1am. We ate late today because my OB appt was 2 hours long. So we did not eat till 1pm and it really did not bother me. Very strange.

[mommysusie]

Ok, it's 8:30 in the morning and I am dying for some chinese food!:lol
I cannot wait till the Chinese restaurant opens at 11:00!

[mommysusie]

Ok, so I couldn't get a break from work to go get chinese, but it's ok, because now I want seafood anyway!:lol I should be getting off in a few mins and I am going to go home and grab the family and head to Red Lobster! I just know my hubby is not going to want to go. We were just there yesterday!:dizzy:

[sanguine_speed]

I'm just 4 weeks and experiencing this too. But I totally do NOT need all this extra food. I plan to be very conscientious this pregnancy about food as I gained a lot of wait with both previous pregnancies. I am a few pounds overweight to start with and I think 15-20 pounds altogether is my aim. Last time I gained 50!

[BoGiBoBo]

OMG, Chinese sounds sooooo good right now. Darn it, I knew I shouldn't have read this thread.

[mommysusie]

Ok, I'm eating for like the tenth time today. Right now it is a salad from Fridays but while I am eating it, I am craving crab legs!

[shell024]

mmm....crab legs....chinese....

I just made myself two bean n cheese burritoes w/sour cream, salsa & lettuce. Yum.

Yesterday was the BEST though....FRESH mahi mahi that my dad caught baked in coconut milk with garlic, onions, & ginger, with organic rice and organic greens from our garden. All complete with some fina'dene' (Chamorro word here on Guam for a sauce made with soy sauce, lemon or calamansi juice, onions and hot peppers). YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! :yum :yum :yum Drooling just thinking about it again :lol
