My insurance requires me to be on a diet for six months before my surgery.

I'm on a diet and am not doing very well. I've lost 13 lbs so far but I'm bouncing up and down between one pound like a ball. My surgern doesn't have a weight loss requirement, just that I don't gain which I'm not. How much weight is my insurance expecting me to lose. If I only lose these 13 lbs, will my insurance deny the surgery because I failed to lose a certain amount? My insurance is UPMC for you. Thanks.
