Losing weight before surgery

I'm due to have a laparoscopy within the next few months. Obviously the less (particularly) abdominal fat the better for that. I've been losing weight slowly and steadily over a year or so but am still significantly overweight. I asked to speak to a dietician about speeding up weight loss pre surgery but yay COVID, the wait is six months.

Does anyone have experience/ advice with this? From what I have read, keeping protein high is important for healing, and doing a liver fat shrinking diet for a few weeks immediately pre surgery is often advised. Is it better to try and cut calories down pretty low (e.g. around 1000 - currently losing weight on 1400), or will losing weight too rapidly cause other issues with the surgery?

TIA.
