can over eating be hormonal?

my cat Maggie is a hog! I love her to death so I am not sure what to do. two years ago she was pregnant (males cats came in my house when i wasnt home and impregnated my girls) and when she tried to have her babies she only had 3 and then her uterus fell out and she had to have cesarian.They neutered her by removing her uterus and her tubes and every since then she has been on an eating fest. even when she only got 1/4 of meal a day she stayed fat!!! anyone have any ideas what i can do I dont want her to become diabetic etc. my friend told me the other day she came home and maggies had thrown up because the food dishes were empty and she had eaten puppy food...i am moving around at this time and she is staying with a close friend who has 12 cats so food control is difficult at this time...her twin sister had 3 babies and now is now a tiny thin delicate beautiful girl of 6 pounds. maggie is pushing 14 pounds...help!!!

Hi thanks for your input. she has just been this way since the ceasarian.and she only eats kibble as she doesnt like wet food and hates human food. when i was giving her 1/4 cup of kibble she was this big. she is out of control huge. she was only thin when she got lost and was gone a month before I found her and she was again a lovely 3 kilos having been on the wild and apparently didnt know how to hunt. ( I adopted her and her sis when she was a week old as someone has poisened their mommy) so she was hand raised.she eats cat chow kibble (for indoor cats) as it is the only food she will eat for cats. have tried a lot of different others but she just wont eat. a vet also did an ultrasound on her as he was sure she had a tumor but she was in perfect health and is just fat! she is not extra thirsty I have always monitored that for diabetes checking. she is 2 years and 6 months old (yeah she was raped while i was at work as male cats got into my house and raped my girls and I ended up with 9 kittens and one of my cats died from giving birth. it was a horrible time!)

there is always a reason for such a voracious appetite. is she on a good quality food preferably canned and NO grains. so she is getting all the protein and nutrients she requires. I ask just HOW MUCH FOOD ARE YOU GIVING HER? a 14 lbs cat needs alot to satisfy their hunger....I have one who is 11 lbs. and eats 13oz of good canned food daily...separated in 3 meals throughout the day, and that would be MINIMUM for a cat your size!!!
- If that doesn't satisfy her than I would definitely take her to a clinic for investigation. an insatiable appetite can be a sign of Hyperthyroid disease or Diabetes.....
is your kitty also extremely thirsty?
