Three months out, lost right around 60 pounds, can't complain on that part. But one thing that is concerning me is that every single time I work out, I experience a whole body sickness feeling. Nausea, shaking, sick to stomach, light headed, it's so bad I can't even take a sip of water. Well tonight after I had finished my workout (which to most wouldn't even be that hard, 30 minutes in all of cardio, nothing too crazy) and I was running to the bathroom dry heaving. I think I would have thrown up if I had something in my stomach, but I make sure to not eat for at least two hours before a workout. So, anyone know what's going on or experienced this? Any information would be helpful!

Does this happen if you just take a walk? I would discuss it with your doctor.

Your body is too tired. Have a Protein shake 30 min before you work out. Breathe...make sure you are breathing right and fill your lungs. You should maybe stretch for a good 5-10 min before and after. Warm up & down. See if that helps.

** I used to work out first thing in the mornings and a similar thing happened to me. I havent had surgery yet, so I can only speak from pre-op experience **

Good luck & keep us posted.

Are you sweating a lot while working out? If you aren't replacing fluids you could be dehydrated. Also, maybe try half a banana before your workout. When I was doing a very low carb diet/work out plan once, they recommended that little bit of carbs beforehand...hope this helps

My personal trainer told me it is very important to eat something before you work out. She told me this after the first time I worked out with her and admitted I had not eaten anything yet.

I got very dizzy and light headed. I believe the medical term is orthostatic hypotension.

No, I'm a college student at one of the big ten schools so I walk at least a mile and a half a day just to get to and from classes. These feelings only occur when I get my heart rate up, when I'm actually trying to exert myself.

I've never really experienced profuse sweating, even when I was at a fit 145 in high school and working out with my swim team (included exercise out of the pool as well lol) for two-three hours a day.

Thanks for the information! I'll be sure to eat a little closer to working out!
