Told by the nutritionist that protein is bad for the kidneys ?

I went to the nutritionist yesterday and asked how many grams of protein I should take and was told not to focus on that. She told me my focus should be on making the right choices and portions. When I mentioned protein shakes she told me if I did the shakes I would damage my kidneys. She did say that when I leave the hospital I will be done with the liquid stage and onto pureed. Does this make sense ? I would be real interested to hear some thoughts. Thank you in advance. Dana
