Limit to the amount of Protein at one time

I am having a hard time getting in all of my protein, so as a solution I started doing double Protein shakes/coffees, so instead of 24 G protein, I'd ingest double the liquid & double the protein powder twice a day (for 48 g Protein each) and supplement with real food protein. 

Anyways my question is this, have you ever heard something about a limit of protein you body can ingest at one time.  Another poster mentioned this, but I hadn't heard it so was wonderin...

We can absorb the proteins - but 2 x the proteins is doubling the calories.. what your body does not use right away - it will use for energy..- convert to sugar or fat as needed...  

I was always told we couldnt absorb for than 30 at a time. I am not for sure though. Hard to prove.

The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery says that is just a myth.  I think that proves it's not true.

96g protein in shakes AND food?   A waste of money and all those extra calories!   Absorption of all this extra protein really isn't your biggest problem at only one month out.

I was told to shoot for 75-80 grams of protein daily.  I've also heard that there is no way to determine how much is actually absorbed, but it makes sense to spread it out over a day's intake because that helps keep you from being hungry.

This statement is directly from The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery website:

"Q: How much protein do I need daily? 

A: Most patients get 60-80 grams daily, but some may require more depending on their response to surgery or their type of operation. Your dietitian can provide more detailed information.

Q: Can I take all of the protein in one dose? 
A: Protein should be taken in multiple doses, across multiple meals or healthy snacks. The body cannot absorb more than approximately 30 grams at once. Also, protein is a nutrient that helps us feel fuller, longer. If we try to include proteins in each of our meals or healthy snacks, we’re less likely to feel hungry when it’s not time to eat."

Really?  Do you have a link for that?  I ask because the following is directly from the ASMBS's Integrated Health Nutritional Guidelines publication regarding post-op nutrition:

Experts have noted that adding 100 g/d of carbohydrate decreases nitrogen loss by 40% in modified protein fasts [34]. One popular myth is that only 30 g/hr of protein can be absorbed. Although this is commonly found in both lay and some professional literature, there is no scientific basis for this claim. It is possible that, from a volume standpoint, patients might only realistically consume 30 g/meal of protein during the first year.

Here is the link:  https://asmbs.org/patients/life-after-bariatric-surgery

Thanks.  Curious that they say one thing one place and something different elsewhere.

Given the very general nature of the information (clearly intended for patients) in the link you provided, though, versus the very technical from nature of the information in the other link (clearly intended for medical professionals), I would be inclined to believe the detailed document that says it is a myth. I suspect that a lay person wrote the general article and no one who knew better proofread it.
