Bloating causing me to lose weight

I feel really bloated after eating even a small meal. I can't eat for hours afterwards even though i exercise. I am 12 weeks nearly. I am losing weight not because of nausea, but because i just don't need to eat as much, i can get by on one small meal a day and a few snacks.
I can eat more if i just eat fruit and watery things all day...but carbs make me incredibly bloated.

Why the heck is this?

Your digestive system gets quite sluggish when pregnant so that may be what is causing the bloating - hopefully it will settle down. Try converting to lots of small snacks during the day (including small amounts of carbs) rather than the traditional 3 meals a day until it passes - it should do (though will probably come back again in the third trimester).
