Food Question

Hi

I was driving back home from dropping my children off at school and I got thinking about my pregnancies. I had lots of trouble eating and drinking in my first trimester everytime I have been pregnant. Meds for me up chucking all the time and needing to go into hospital to get an IV for fluids. I would lose between 20-30lbs in the first 16 weeks. I hate the smell & taste of all meat while pregnant too. 

After having WLS how has everyone else handled "morning sickness" and if they have a disliking towards meat? I was thinking about getting in the right amount of protein.

Many thanks

Frankly, it just wasn't possible for me.  I was a vegeterian this time around in the 1st trimester. 

I am actually losing hair this pregnancy because I still can only handle certain meats.

I know I need to add a protein drink but it is hard to drink for me too. 

If you can handle a whey protein drink, I'd say go for it. 

I basically lived on crackers and toast my first trimester. I lost 15 pounds. I was able to do OK with fluids but food was a different story. I am still having some problems with meat but it seems to be better.

Good luck!

Since my RNY I cannot tolerate any type of meat- I upchuck every time. Since becoming pregnant I can handle ham though. Strange. So I have ham almost every day. Protein drinks are a different story- can't do them. Some protein bars I can tolerate, but not all the time. I have just been really careful to get my supplements in and plenty of liquids. My twins are measuring ahead and doing well. I think it's tough- luckily I am not losing hair or anything, but my protein is nowhere near where it should be. You do what you can I guess. Good luck!
