Well I got pregnant right at a year out of surgery...and I had all the same feelings and I wont lie the first few months I was paranoid about gaining any weight at all. At first the scale didn't move then it started to and I was scared. I just had my beautiful baby on June 28th and I gained 43lbs my whole pregnancy, went into labor with gaining 38lbs and I already lost 15lbs and I was a little bit underweight so I am hoping to only lose another 10lbs.
I wont lie and say I ate great with my pregnancy. I found out that my sugar tolerance went up a great deal with my pregnancy and I started to snack alot but I got in check early on. I did eat 6 meals a day and snacked as well but that is what my body wanted. I still eat very small meals so it worked for me and I changed my snacking to eat yogurt and fruit and dry cheerios.
My best advice to you is just watch what you eat and eat healthy and all will fall into place. I know it is easier said then done but I did it and I was a huge SNACKER!
I had a healthy baby and everything went GREAT...I wish you alot of luck and if you need to ask anything please feel free
