I ate a lot of rice at that point, with cheese of course. It was only thing that tasted right/good.

I would eat cereal, as soon as I felt hungry I had to eat quickly or I would get naseous and if I smelt food cooking that made me feel sick too so cereal was quick enough that I didnt get a chance to turn my nose up at it!

I ate the heck outta PB&J. I had food aversions with both my pregnancies until about 5 months. If you can, try smoothies. I was able to at least drink strawberry Ensure once a day to try and keep vitamins in me.

This pregnancy I had it BAD and I would just make sure I ate things that didn't have too much of a smell to them. I would try and eat fresh fruit and things too. Toast was a good saviour as well.
Sadly, you just have to wait it out. Just make sure you are taking your vitamins and if you can handle maybe smoothies or something...that might help.

Usually dry foods like bagels, toast, and cereal would help me get through the day. Sometimes soups if I got tired of all those and needed flavor bc that's pretty easy on the stomach too
