Not me, I just eat. I wanna make sure the baby gets enough, and before I got pregnant I was only getting around 600- 800 calories a day! I have pushed myself to eat more often.

I don't.  I have to force myself to eat sometimes.  If I don't eat frequently, I don't feel good.  There are days when I think that I have eaten too much but I have still lost a bit of weight so I don't think that I am eating too much.

 I've gained 27lbs in 40 weeks ( I am being induced tomorrow) and I was on strict bedrest for 5 months. I had to up mine to 1100-1300 a day after the 2nd trimester started. I was underweight to begin with. The doctors have been extremely happy with my weight gain, I feel frumpy.

I am still a month short of being a year post-op. and am 12 weeks pregnant now.

I found out week 4 and was weighing 144 and was losing and went to 141, which is when I really started literally eating as much as I could due to me still being in a malabsorptive state. I was also focusing on eating really high calorie foods for my protein (cheeses) and as many carbs as I could. I weighed myself tonight and was 148 and feel shocked. However, it's what I need to do for the baby.

I don't count calories whatsoever, but now I know I have the ability to put on weight, I will start back on leaner proteins. I have also been drinking my coffees as lattes from Starbucks. Will also knock them on the head for a while.

I was asking myself the same question.I'm seven weeks pregnant with twins just found out Monday.I went up six pounds but have now lost seven I'm trying to eat everything I can.Twins are high risk pregnancy then add surgery and food take into it makes it even a higher risk.Best of luck to all.

May my Angles rest in peace.....
