How much is too much protein?

It will depend on you size, your fitness and some medical stuff. You should really ask your dr this one.

Yup, or ask your nutritionist.

Generally most of us are advised to consume 60 - 80g a day but as the others have suggested, it is best to ask your dietician &/or surgeon for a goal appropriate for you & your needs.

Excess protein is stored as fat, not helpful while you’re trying to lose weight, can cause kidney issues like kidney stones & can raise your cholesterol (which already often temporarily increases as you lose weight anyway).

There is also information about that says your body can’t absorb more than around 25g of protein at a time. So you could infer if you consume more than 25g at a meal the excess would be stored as fat.
