How is the protein in the liquid drinks absorbed?

I don't want to seem like a total moron here, but I have been wondering about something. At 6 weeks I am very nauseated all the time, even with protein drinks. I have been trying to get the majority of my protein from the drinks per the Dr. (who I saw today), which led me to wonder: If drinks pretty much go right through the pouch, where and how is the protein absorbed? Intestines? And how long does it take to absorb? Thanks for answering what is probably a totally obvious (but not to me) question.
