Anyone else struggling to eat?
After losing my baby, I just have no appetite for things I used to enjoy eating before. Definitely don't want to touch any of the food I was craving during my pregnancy either. Then that doesn't leave much for me to actually eat
Pasta was a once a day meal for me during my pregnancy and my husband would always say I need to eat something more nutritious than just spaghetti and pasta sauce. His intentions were in the right place and I still ate as much pasta as I wanted lol and then balanced it out with other meals but now I just can't stomach the thought of eating pasta again. What if I really should have just picked a better meal and then I'd have had a stronger baby? Too late now to think like that
So now when everything sucks and I'm sad and unmotivated and don't have the energy to really cook for myself, and pasta or noodles was the easy meal. I just don't want to eat anything at all. My pantry is full of spaghetti and fettuccine and all the nice things but it makes my heart sink to look at
Last night I made baked nachos with salsa, a ton of cheese and hot chillis but I just don't want to eat it. We also had kofta sandwiches and I just scarfed one down to not stay hungry and haven't really eaten since then and it's 1pm now. Even when I make a cup of tea my mouth tastes weird and I can't enjoy it. It's either too strong or too weak or too much sugar, or I don't taste the sugar at all.
I'm going to thr hospitals offered grief counseling in a week or so, so I'm hoping that will make me feel better or help me make sense of things. But until then, any comfort food suggestions? What's your go to meal or snack that's keeping you going?
