OK, this may be a dumb question but, can you have too much protein? I have been keeping track on thedailyplate.com. I am on pre-op liquids with a little lean protein, and so far I have had 125 gm of protein today. Is there such a thing as too much of a good thing? Thanks

I like to keep mine at 160gms supplemented. Pre-op I would think of adkins and how that affects the kidneys.

I was told that your kidneys can't take to much protein. I am not sure if that is at one time or per day. Darlene would be the one to answer that one and I would like to know if you can't overdo at one time or over the day.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter

Hi gorgeous, did your doc, or NUT give you the diet? I have always taken solace in doing what my NUT told me..tell them to get their buns on the ball. Hugs!

Hi Nan, My dr wants me to have three protein shakes a day, with alot of sugar free liquids in between. Then the instructions say, if you're still hungry, have another shake. When I saw my surgeon on Tuesday last week, he said that I could eat some lean protein. So, yesterday I added to my four protein shakes, a sirloin burger and some lean turkey leg.(My dh and dd went to the Renissance Fair yesterdy) I was keeping track of alll this on thedailyplate.com and it said that I had consumed 125 gm of protein. I'm not going to do that today. I do not want kidney problems. I'm going to shoot for 70gm of protein, with alot of other sf things to drink in between. I was also mixing the protein powdwer to 1 % milk, which adds MORE protein. I hope this helps.
