I'd do as your therapist prescribed just to get ready for the surgery.

This.
My favorite video coach for resistance training uses varied counts: three counts up, one down; two up, two down; one up, three down, etc. The brief pauses make the muscle work a little harder, as would the longer holds.
These are exercises with quite a few reps and relatively light weights. As I get stronger, I will sometimes choose a workout with much heavier weight that I lift to "exhaustion"--ie. can't do it one more time.
Best wishes for your surgery.
