Hi Tinks!
I am also suffering quite badly at the mo, and i also find the liquids most difficult to get down. Food wise, after having had HG 3 times before (this is my 4th), Ive learnt there are lots of foods to avoid as well as some fairly reliable foods that are more likely to stay down. There's only a few that will stay down - generaly they are dry and heavy.
Foods I find stay down: toast, pizza, soup, cheese straws or scones, nuts, fruit
Foods I avoid: minced beef, rice, salad, pasta, hot choc, yogurt, cereal.
Drink wise, i try something different every day as i go off all drinks very quickly due to vomiting them back up. But i find flavoured fizzy water best. I get most of my liquid from fruit or soups but im not really getting enough fluid. My urine is so concentrated.
Im also sick if i get up during the night, but be careful if youre feeling light headed. i find its best to just move VERY slowly. So when i get out of bed, first of all, i just sit up for a few moments, then i do like a stupid bent walk, till i reach the hallway, ha haha, then i kind of stand straight. I must look like an old lady!
Also, meds work well for some, and for others, they work at first but then lose there effectiveness. Ive given up taking mine now as i was continuously still sick on them, and was even vomiting blood the other night s i was sick so much - id torn one of my little tubes
Today - im having a better day, I had a terrible morning but then its eased of and kindly given me a little break for the afternoon.
I hope you find some relif with something or that you have a good day soon! Good lluck and stay in touch! x

today. I usually get sick around 8 weeks,so I have a few weeks until it fully consumes me. Im just glad to be expecting(I know I wont be saying that when Im on my HG Deathbed)! Look forward to getting to know you all 
. I have another appt in 2 weeks for another scan. And I'll stay on the pump until I can be weened off. Insurance approved the home health care service till mid December so we will see. By then I'll be like 22 weeks. 
I also got my prescription for Zofran. Now all I have to do is find who sells it the cheapest in town.
