Question:
How long do we need to wait between protein meals?

Okay, I am 6 mths post op and 121 pounds lighter and should probably know the answer to this question but I don't so help me out guys! I know we can only hope to absorb 30 grams of protein at a time. How long exactly is a time? If I eat a piece of salmon at 3pm. How long before I can eat more protein and have it absorbed? Do I wait 3 hours, an hour, what is appropriate?    — Courtney W.

hi, my surgeon told me to eat protien every two hours. For absorbtion and energy as well as keeping the metabolism going. As a matter of fact he told me I should be eating, fish, cheese, squash and greens. Protien first of course, I hope this helps.
