About how much should I eat per serving at 15 months post op? I'm also, 8 weeks pregnant if that changes anything. Please help. I don't want to stretch my pouch nor starve my baby. Again, please help.

Typical pregnants should eat about 2000-2500 calories a day. 

That being said, if you are still overweight/obese, you wouldn't need to push that as much.

My WLS clinic and OB gave me guidelines of 75g+ protein a day, reasonable amount of carbs, plenty of dark green veg for iron too.  I have kept my calories around 1500 per day.  I am still obese, so for my body it is ok to lose a little weight/not gain while pregnant.

I really think you should see your dietician for some guidelines while pregnant.

Thanks so much Civilmomma for the response!  I spoke with my dietician recently and he didn't advice me about any eating suggestions. My surgeon told me she expects to see me gain about 15 pounds. My Lab results had some low numbers so I think they're just too concerned with those to talk about my nutrition. I will try contacting the dietician today. Thanks again sweetie.
