Help !!

So I've started my Pre op diet and it is low fat one so far today I have had 3 pieces of fruit, 2 portions of sugar free jelly and some chicken and peas. It came to just over 300 calories. Not sure if that is enough. I also had 2 litres of juice. So please help

Personally, I would have thought 300 cals is not enough. My guidelines were to stick to 1000 cals made up mainly of protein, low fat and low carb.
I used MyFitnessPal during this time to make sure I had enough cals. Also check with your team as to how many cals they want you to have. Good luck xx

300 calories is very low. Around 1000 is what you should aim for x

I'm exactly the same, been sticking to the plan I was given and if I push myself I can get it up to 600 cals a day. Eating similar to u too, plus a couple of eggs. Everyone keeps telling me my body must be going into starvation mode....got my pre op tomorrow so I'm going to ask them if I should change anything. On the plus side have lost 6lb in the week I've been doing it! x

I used to make up a big salad for work using cos lettuce, cucumber, peppers, boiled chicken or tuna through it and some seeds. We were allowed balsamic vinegar on our salads so that made it a bit tastier! However, double-check with your team if that would be ok.
