REQUIRED TO LOSE WEIGHT BEFORE SURGERY!!!

I have kaiser so i was referred to ucla medical center, they require everyone to lose some weight before surgery. I am having a horrible time with this I was required to lose 20-40lbs I lose the weight and do my best to keep it off and I send them documented weight loss which is required before they schedule you to see the surgeon again to get scheduled for surgery. The first time they gave me a date it was 3 months away I had gained the weight back. the second time I lost the weight again by the time my appointment came I had gained 3lbs because i was on my cycle. so they have scheduled me again. Has anyone else had this problem? If so do you have any suggestions? I was told by one of the staff members there I won't mention names to only drink isopure no solid foods and i will drop enough weight so i will have room to gain a few lbs. to me that is starving yourself and i thought u were supposed to b as healthy as possible before surgery.
