Calories Needed, Eating How Many Times/Day?

At 9.5 months out & almost 6 weeks- any advice on calories needed?  Also, how many times per day do you eat?  Do you find it is easier to eat several small meals a day or do you try to stick to 3 main meals? Of course I will inquire from my doc as well, just wanted input from here. :)

I am eight years post op, so I can probably each much more than you at this point in time; however, as my baby has grown bigger, my portion size has gotten much smaller again (not complaining).   My rule of thumb, eat before I am starving, I always feel sick to my stomach if I don't....so I typically eat breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack....depending on how big my meals are and what it is, depends on what I eat on snack breaks.  Some foods like fish run through me pretty fast so I am always hungry after eating that much faster, etc.   I try not to focus on calories to much, you will probably get plenty and your OB will be keeping an eye on both your weight and babies and will address if they think its a problem.  As my second baby after RNY, and hanging out on this post, I don't see it's ever come up as a problem on here.   Hope some of this helps! 

GOOD LUCK, enjoy your pregnancy!  Stacey

I'm 3 yrs out--my ob told me to increase my calories by 300 a day--I don't count calories but did add another snack a day.  So I eat protein shake or bar for breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinnner, evening snack.  If I am hungrier (I was starving all of my 2nd trimester) I did eat more often.  I am 37 weeks now and have issues with portions again due to the size of the baby but also my appetite has dropped a lot.
