Can you get to much Protein?

[becky2013 11]

Hello All, I was wondering if to much Protein can harm you? I'm a newbe and have just started trying out my protein power. I'm still in the pre-op stage, one more Nut visit then waiting on the Insurance approval. Can't wait. Thanks for all the information already provided here. Everybody is great.

Not if you have a sleeve. Even without a sleeve it will be very hard, Many cultures in human histories eat mostly Protein and they do just fine. Use your brain power for other productive thoughts

I was getting 90+ g of Protein on my pre-op diet and getting approx 55-60g a day now with dietitician goal of 60-90g per day.

Not sure how much you are wondering is too much?

I don't see where it's all that possible with the sleeve, but I could be wrong. One thing to keep in mind though, tons of Protein for several days without Fiber can be a bad thing if you know what I mean. Like needing to practice breathing techniques when trying to pass a #2. I did that once and it was like giving birth to a bowling ball.......not pleasant.
