I have lost 60 pounds and now it’s time to start strength training while I lose the final 30-40. Problem is, I’m lifting (not even like hard, just basic started stuff with resistance bands) and midway through I straight feel like puking and have to stop. Anyone else get this? Solutions?

This morning I ate a protein bar and then started my workout for reference so it wasn’t after a big meal or anything. had to stop and just rest and if i try to start back up, sick again

Can you check your blood sugar?
 
I would say consider working out fasted to see if that helps, or without taking in protein first. When taking a glp1 I have had to make sure my belly is mostly empty when exercising or I have nausea and indigestion.

It's super interesting hearing how the meds affect others. I have to have a small meal/heavy snack 1-2 hours before a workout and drink extra water/electrolytes beforehand. If I don't I feel weak and nauseous during my workout. And I can't use pre-workout anymore. I workout in the evening and I don't digest it quickly enough to burn through it before I go to bed and I'll be up all night.
I tried to workout fasted (just a brisk 2 mile walk/jog) followed by some light weights and barely made it though my treadmill session before nearly fainting. 😅

Yeah it has definitely changed my digestion and eating habits nat a workout or before bed!
 
I was like this a decade ago, long before GLP-1s. I believe it had to do with increased blood flow and blood pressure changes, diverting blood flow from one area and to another.
