Possible to have TOO MUCH protein?

HI! :) I'm going in for LAP RNY on Friday, 12/27/02 (and am getting pretty nervous!). I've purchased multiple samples of protein powders, and have vowed to keep up on my protein as mush as humanly possible. My question (that I keep forgetting to as my Dr.) is -- Can you ingest too much protein? If I somehow end up getting 60g a day via food and am also using the protein powder, will this cause a problem? I guess right now that I feel like too much is better than not enough, but does anyone here know for sure? Thanks in advance for your help, and MERRY CHRISTMAS all you great people on this site!!! :) SuzAnne in Utah
