I am 15 weeks pregnant and now 9 months post op. I have not gained any weight thus far but I want to eat all the time, and I want to eat carbs!!! Should I just eat when and what I want or should I monitor myself???

 IMO, you should definitely monitor what you eat, but also... eat what you want for the most part.  I found that pregnancy cravings were like no other... If I didn't give in to them, then I ate everything else trying to avoid the craving only in the end to give in and eat what I originally wanted.

I totally hear what you are saying! I want to eat ALL THE TIME right now. Luckily I am craving fruit so I don't feel too bad giving into that, but I am also craving chocolate. I give in, but try not to go too crazy. I have gained about 10ish pounds which isn't bad by normal standards, but most people on here seem to be gaining next to nothing so I kinda feel like a heiffer.

You need to eat; but what you eat is key.  Try to stick to the heathy stuff and lay off the bad...sometimes it's easier than others...I found that these want to eat everything went in spurts.  I figured it was my bodies way of telling me I needed to eat more.  Sometimes esp in the middle, I had to remember to eat. 

Good luck!  Stacey

Thanks for all the advice ladies. I just feel guilty when I want to eat all the time, I am still struggling with only being 9 months out!!!! I am trying to just give in and eat it, but it feels like it did when I was overweight and I feel bad about eating it. My ob/gyn is concerned about my weight, I have not gained any and she really doesn't expect me to but she wants me to eat. So to eat or not to eat, that is the question!!!
