pre-op diet calorie count

I was just wondering if anyone was given calorie guidelines for their pre-op diet? I'm on day 5 of mine and I'm worried I'm eating too much. I'm averaging between 1100 and 1200 a day with the requirements of 3 3oz servings of protein 2 to 3 servings of fruit at least 3 servings of vegetables and 2 to 3 servings of dairy. I also have to have 1 serving of grains at each meal due to medicines I'm on. For anyone not on full liquids what were you eating?
i was never given calorie guidelines pre-op or post-op. My first phase of pre-op diet I was told to eat 100 grams of protein a day and not more than 100 grams of carbs. I lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks. Then 3 weeks before surgery I was told to have 2-3 shakes a day, one meal of protein and veg or salad and 2 fruits. Lost and additional 15 pounds. I know a lot of people on here do list calories but my surgeon goes more for the low carb.
