440 calories today... Is that bad

I started my liquid diet yesterday and I added up my calories today and it was really low. I had:

2 peach shakes 100 cal each
1 shake with skim milk in the blender w ice which was 230
And 2 jellos 5 cal each

That adds up to 440 calories. Is that bad? Should I be eating more. Any suggestions on how I can get more calories in? All I am allowed is 3 or 4 shakes a day, sugar free popsicles, and sugar free jello and I'm allowed skim milk to drink with my shakes.

I would definitely raise it. I know that hubby had to do a liquid diet before surgery (called Optifast) and it was around 900 calories.  You want to make sure to keep up your muscle and prepare your body nutritionally for good healing, so I would increase it for sure.

What does your surgeon think?
I've never heard of a 100 calorie protein shake.
How much protein are you supposed to be getting?

there are some out there you just have to look for them hard... the one i have is 106 calories great choice for ice cream too :) here is the link for it, if you would like to take a look at it...  http://www.buildingbrawn.com/index.php?SubvendorID=212&PageNo=3&ProductID=2060265

 Call your surgeon's office and ask.

For my pre-op diet I was on 3 shakes a day.. period.  They were a certain type of shake they specified and were 200 calories each, so I was on 600 calories a day for 2 weeks.  

I didn't worry about calories... I had my 3 shakes a day, "all the SF Jello / SF popsicles" I wanted... which wasn't much

Thank u all. I feel so much better now.
