Pre-op, losing too fast

I found out I shouldn't go below a BMI of 40 or BCBS might protest my surgery. Since age 9 I've either been on a diet or didn't count calories at all. I've never just maintained. Has anyone had this problem? I Was eating between 1500 - 1700 cals/day. Now I'm trying 2000 per day. Any advice is appreciated.

    Do you have any co-morbitites? High blood pressure, diabetes etc? My BCBS. Plan just approved me with a 37 BMI.

    How many calories a day do you think you were eating before talking to the surgeon? That should help steer you towards a good calorie count. It sounds like you are doing right, increasing your calories to stop from losing too quickly.

    Good luck!
