With only 800 calories you've probably gone into starvation mode where you're body is canibalizing muscle to get the nutrients it needs. Up it to a balanced 1100-1300 and you'll probably lose more. Plenty of cardio you can still do depending on your injury. Walking on crutches is stil better than just sitting on the couch. You can do upper body only rows on a rowing machine if you need to, but that is certainly great cardio. Hand bike would work as well or weighed simulated jump rope (there's no rope, just the swingy weight balls)
I don't like giving weight loss advice... probably because I'm a zealous fan of larger women... but obviously you'll be better off sticking to exercises that don't put weight on your feet. Probably sit-ups or something.
Live on black coffee and green smoothies for a few months. It isn't difficult. I mean if I can do it, anyone can.
It's also important to remember that high deficits actually insite a "starving" response where your body tries to retain more calories of food. It's finding the balance between eating less calories then you consume daily but not too less that your body believes it needs to go into this starvation mode.
Just a thought.
Forget fad diets as you cannot keep them up indefinitely. Just count cals. Go for low fat products. Limit fresh fruit drinks like orange. It is full of fructose, which is a form of sugar.
Math...3,500 cals is about 1 lb in weight. So reduce your intake by 500 a day will lose roughly 1 lb in a week.

Continue Your Diet As You Want and Get Up and Walk A Bit, Even If It Is Helping to Use the Other No Injured Foot. Get Well Soon. xxoo
You can still train your core and upper body. If you do long rep series, that is also cardio. And extra muscle helps burning fat.
having caloric deficite is enough. tho it is advisable to still eat a nutritionally balanced and healthy diet. or else you'll get urges that may overpower your determination to lose weight.
The diet should help
