nauseous while strength training?

[octoroach]

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.

It sounds like your body is still adjusting to strength training. Nausea can happen due to factors like low blood sugar, dehydration, or just your body adapting to new demands. Try eating a small carb source 30 to 60 minutes before working out, sip water throughout, and start with shorter sessions. Over time, your endurance should improve!

Congrats on the 60 pounds that’s awesome. Feeling sick mid-workout is pretty common starting out. Might be the intensity, not enough water, or that protein bar hitting wrong. Try dialing it back a bit, hydrate, and wait longer after eating. You’re on the right track just give your body time to adjust.

I had a similar issue after a few weeks on reta and it was related to blood sugar. I figured it out with a continuous monitor. Only had to use it for 2 weeks to figure how to resolve the issue. Before reta I normally worked out fasted, but now I have to have a carb heavy meal before exercise. As long as I do a 10 to 20min walk after that meal I don't feel full or bloated at the gym.
