Isn't anyone concerned about kidney damage?

I have to say that while I agree that our new "balanced" diet after RNY means that our ratio of protein to carbs has to remain higher than usual....I am concerned that people are opting to eat such high amts of protein to loose weight quicker. My husband is in kidney failure...not due to WLS. But I am hoping to be his donor. It makes no sense for me to lose weight so quickly by eating such high amts of protein that I add stress to my own kidneys. Anyway, it got me to thinking about so many who post their new eating habits....and while I have lost almost 60 lbs in 3 months, I am eating pretty balanced. I eat high grain crakers, and a piece of bread whenever I feel like it. Comments???
