do you have to consume whey "immediately"

most directions I see say to drink the protein solution immediately. Ive been mixing it in my oatmeal that I take to work and slowly eat. Its usally 2 hours from when I first mixed in the whey to when I finish the oatmeal.
So my question is, could this be a problem?
thanks
 
Immediately when? After waking up? Eating lunch?

Or do you mean "immediately post workout"? If so, yes, its ideal to get protein into the body IMMEDIATELY.

Why does it take you two hours to eat oatmeal? Even when I cooked 1 cup raw oatmeal (for bulking) I downed it in 20 mins or less. Any longer and it was cold paste.

I would drink your shake, and eat the oatmeal 'plain' (and faster). After 2 hours of grazing on oatmeal, its time for the next meal.

in fact its common to have a post workout shake, and then 60 mins later, a whole food meal (steak n potatoes are my favorite).
 
sorry, I meant immediately as in eating/drinking it immediately after the protein is mixed in to a drink or oatmeal
it takes me 2 hours because I prepare it before I leave in the morning and I eat it pretty slowly, taking a bite at a time as I do my work
