I've read the books so I know what to expect but expecting and experiencing are a whole different thing. The nausea has got so bad I barely have an appetite. Thank heavens for simple things like pasta, potatoes and bread. Life savers. Of course all that starch isn't helping the constipation. It's driving me nuts. In addition to the tiny weight gain I've had so far I am now bloated too. My pants barely fit anymore. And water seems to flow right through me. I live in the bathroom these days. These symptoms are really hard to deal with. Can't wait til they're gone
My best advice would be to try to eat small meals often, you don't want to let yourself get hungry because hunger makes nausea worse. Sucking on mints, or hard candy also seemed to help, so that's worth a try too.
