It sounds like after WLS one has to eat a lot of protein; cause a health problem?

I went to my first informational meeting re: WLS last night. The doctor presenting said diet after surgery is 70% protein, 30% vegetables. I seem to remember hearing that if you eat too much protein it can cause a health problem; I think it was liver damage, not sure. Anyone know about this? Also, when he said vegetables, does that mean no fruit any more due to too much carbs in fruit? Also, does the lap band REALLY get rid of hunger that I've experienced when trying to do an 1800 cal. diet (type II diabetic and get so hungry I become afraid of another low blood sugar incident and overeat)?
