Eating

I am going on 8 weeks and I am having days where I eat like 5 bites and I'm disgusted with what I am eating and I cannot eat anymore. I then have days where I eat like I would before I got pregnant. Is anyone else going through this?

I have the same problem. I am almost 8 weeks also and it is so hard almost feels impossible to find food that will agree with me. I always feel sick even if I take nausea meds.

I like the idea of drinking boost. I've been trying to drink at least like apple juice or try to eat fruits but it's the after taste

Same here I absolutely love salmon and couldn't bring myself to eat more than 2 bites the same happened with my favorite shrimp dish and just about anything else that I normally would love to eat. I have only been able to eat mashed potatoes from kfc with gravy without issues. I'm also able to drink most things without any problems so I have been drinking Boost to make sure that I still get the vitamins and minerals to be healthy since eating is not going so well.

Me too! You are not alone! I can hardly keep any food down and I literally hate anything that I once liked, and I can only eat a bite of my cravings.

Yup. Same thing... Feel awful when I can't eat much. I'll crave something, get it and either:
-eat a bite and want to vomit
-eat and feel okay (not often now)
-eat and get heartburn no matter what it is

I am always snacking on potato chips, gf pretzels/crackers, or an apple to stay afloat and not starve

:(
