Let's Talk Food!!!

[MamaJ2005]

What's everybody eating??? I am SO into veggies, bean, & cheese!!! It's crazy. I make healthy quesadillas almost everyday. Hummus is the bomb!!! If I eat anything unhealthy, it TOTALLY kills my stomach! It's so weird! I don't think I had issues like that last time.

[tschecter]

I am opposite... I have no interest in helathy this go round... last time, all I could eat was fruit and veggies, this time, if it isn't covers in butter or chocolate, I am forcing it down at best.

[*Aimee*]

Oh I'm so not doing well. I'm craving chicken wings, Mc Donalds double quarterpounder with cheese, filet of fishes...but i'm vegetarian! Which I guess is a good thing because I wont eat this stuff but I'm def. craving it! Right now Im just eating watermelons and taco salad. Tonight though I am having nachos...

[MamaJ2005]

That's what I craved last time with my daughter ~ sweets, breads, butter, juice etc. Maybe that means you're having a girl and I'm having a boy! I know it's probably just a ole' wives tale! I'll be happy with whatever I get though!

[MamaJ2005]

Aimee ~ Girl for you too, maybe? : ) Did you crave healthy stuff last time?

[*Aimee*]

I REALLY REALLY wanted a boy this time. I have all these fun thoughts of DS and his brother just being best friends and all that. But I'm pretty sure I'm having a girl! I've had two dreams! And I felt so bonded to her. And she was so beautiful! So I love her and I'm happy!! And now I get to buy pink dipes...oh we're going to go broke! :lol

That's so cool you have had two dreams about her! That brought tears to my eyes! :o

I am hoping for a girl, too. I have had some dreams that it is a girl, but I don't know if that means anything since my dreams are pretty crazy most of the time.

I've been feeling nauseous all day long, I had a artichoke spinach gg souffle from Panera for breakfast and almost nothing since then cause everything makes me feel gross. We're making quesadillas for dinner b/c that's the one thing I'm craving.

[MamaJ2005]

Aww... Green Momma! I'm sorry you're feelin' ick! Enjoy those quesadillas!!!

[hanbanan]

ummm, hot sauce!

[arismom1029]

We had the most spectacular burritos tonight. Black beans, rice, onions, red bell pepper, cheese, sour cream, and avocado all wrapped in a yummy burrito!!! I ate two. I crave things like avocado, and mango, and lots of fruit and veggies.

[MamaJ2005]

I,too,crave hotsauce!!! On Avacados!!!

I had the most amazing veggie caserole with a fresh green salad for dinner! YUM!!!

I am having some food aversions and cravings for carbs and sweets.

This is not good for me as I have PCOS and insulin resistance, and I am doing this pregnancy with no meds!! Yeah!!!! :banana

But it means I have to be pretty darn careful with food choices. Which I usually am but the pregnancy weirdness throws a wrench in.

I can't eat meat. Puke-o-rama. So I have upped the soy protein, but I know that is not ideal. Soy meatballs and veggie dogs are the only things that sound appealing sometimes, yk? I tried to make eggs the other day and just about barfed. Now I can only eat them in restaurants. Cheese is still working fine.

I've been making ezekiel toast with peanut butter, or with veggie dogs and cheese on it. Whole wheat spaghetti with tomato sauce, soy meatballs, and lots of cheese. Splenda sweetened ice cream. :bag: I begged my housemate to go to the store for this the other day, in fact I traded her a bicycle she had promised me. :lol

I'm not eating much volume though, so I think overall the additional grains/lowered good proteins are probably fine.

[KatWrangler]

Tapioca pudding!

Other than that, I have not been very hungry. Now we are having chili tonight. I am looking forward to that. Except the gas, which I seem to have enough of. :bag: :lol

[*Aimee*]

I just took two pickle slices and put a piece of swiss cheese in between them :o

[pdxmomazon]

I made fajitas tonight- lots of lime juice and garlic :) But I am craving white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies. Good thing they aren't in the house:lol
To celebrate getting pregnant my wife and I are going out for Indian food. I am giving myself permission to have Makhani Chicken:D It's not good for me by any stretch of the imagination, but it is soooooo good!

[dis]

Ugh, food. Nothing is appealing at the moment; I keep making meals, eating half, and not being able to force any more down. I've lost 2 pounds since I got my BFP, and I really don't have 2 pounds to spare!

I'm eating really healthy, what I can force down, anyway. Fruit, veggies, good fats. Protein is hard because meat makes me want to throw up, so I've been having a protein shake every morning for breakfast.

[MamaJ2005]

Sorry to those who are feeling sick already and food is unappealing. I kind of wish that would happen to me. I am WAY too tied to food emotionally when I am pregnant and it's really annoying!!! The only thing I turn my nose up @ is meat and chicken and dumplings so far, BLAH!!! Junk doesn't turn me off, but tears me up later, so I avoid it.

[blizzard_babe]

I'm having a lot of variation in my food preferences and aversions. One day, something sounds delicious and I want six pounds of it, the next day, that first food item sounds icky and I'm TOTALLY wanting something else.

For the past few days, it's been... mashed potatoes with cheese melted in it. Weird.

Also... spicy stuff. Frank's Red Hot is my friend.

[MamaJ2005]

So, today for lunch I had a bean and cheese quesadilla and a bell pepper and cheese quesadilla. BIG SURPRISE!!! I'll probably have the same thing for dinner! Go Figure! I've decided I love PB on everything! Apples, Bananas, etc. I feel good about my diet. I know I am getting enough protein. When I don't get enough, I can really feel it. I get dizzy and a little nauseated.

[Molliejo]

I get in a terrible mood when I don't eat now. I've been trying to follow the Brewer diet like I did in my last pregnancy. I eat a lot of protein and vegetables and fruits. I am craving refined sugar most of the time, though.

[blizzard_babe]

I have a stash of raspberry fruit leather in my classroom, and I've already eaten two today. I think I'll have a third...

[MamaVolpe]

I am leaving for Sicily tomarrow. I love Italian food! So as long as the MS doesn't strike me to hard next week then I am going to be in heaven. I'll tell you all about the yummy food when I get back.

[MamaJ2005]

Have an absolutely wonderful time, MamaVolpe!!! Enjoy all the delicious dishes!!!
