Re: What to Eat - Robin

[Guest guest]

Robin,

I know how you feel girl! I had my VBG 18 months ago and I am now 7

1/2 weeks pregnant. I've been having morning sickness issues (queasy

all day long) and have just recently moved into the " nothing sounds

good to me " phase. Breakfast is especially hard since eggs no longer

agree with me and I just can't stomach bacon or sausage. I've found

that eating 1/2 a bagel with cream cheese is actually about the only

thing that works for me in the morning. I think it has something to

do with the carbs. I know for me that even if something doesn't

sound good, if I eat it, it's usually ok (except for foods that I

know won't work).

I think you just need to experiment a little and see what happens...

Wish I could give you more ideas! Good luck!
