Weight loss before surgery

[sleevexcited 56]

Just have a quick question- As most of you know, I have become a professional dieter-

My Doctor would like me to lose about 20-25 pounds pre op-

I just found out yesterday that I can have surgery mid August.

This is my question- should I go to someplace like MRC, where I can lose pretty well and fast up to the 25-30 mark. It's then I can't lose from that point with their program-

Since surgery really isn't that far away- do you think I should go back to MRC to get my 20-25 off?

At first I used weight watchers to loose the first 20 pounds but then discovered I didn't really know how many calories I was taking in (WW doesn't track calories, just points) My NUT then recommended I follow an 800 calorie a day diet and I used the Lose It app to track calories and Protein vs carb intake. I ended up losing over 35 pounds preOp and met my surgery date no problem.

I started the process in November and my surgery was in March.
