read more for full 10 points? I have PKU, which means I CANNOT eat protein. It's tough and you most likely wont understand that but it's too much to explain in this short area.

Anyway the protein in my blood can be balanced out by more calories (up to 2,000 a day). which sucks when You have mornign sickness all damn day.

it's almost 11pm and I still have a litre of 'formula' (a special drink i have to drink with my Diet, so the baby isn't harmed, But it's thick and it's hard to swallow, I have thrown it up a bit before...

*******Anyone have encouraging words to help me? I will most likely be up till about 2 am drinking it.******

Yuck...
 
The morning sickness will ease off soon. In the meantime this is happening because you have extra fluid in your system. You can try to counter that by eating dry foods such as crackers or dry toast before you take the drink. You can also ask your doctor if there is a dry form of supplement like a bar that you can use instead of the drink. If not perhaps you can break it up so that you have several small amounts of it several times a day rather than all at once.
