It was probably the pre-workout. I workout on an empty stomach all the time and have never had that experience. The only time I've had those symptoms was after running a half marathon and got dizzy/threw up when I had to stop very suddenly at the finish line due to the line for finisher medals.0

I'm quite sure that you threw up because you at Lasagna less than 2 hours before working out and then added a pre- as well as post-workout beverage. My body would hate me too if I did that.1

I get it fairly regularly. I usually will bolt something sugary or carby, to get the sugar back up, immediately follower by some protein to level it off and keep it level. Additionally, I almist never eat sugar or carbs for my first meal of the day, as it greatly increases my chances of a crash later in the day. Also, if you take vitamins, probably best not to take them on an empty stomach, especially if working out.0

Nausea isn't that uncommon after an intense work out, especially when you're getting back into shape. The real problems probably began when you started throwing up. In your post-work out state, that vomiting likely caused you to become volume depleted and messed up your electrolytes.0

Oh please tell me what's wrong with Haribo! I don't typically eat that brand gummies except for 1-2 times a year but my mom loves them. Now I'm curious.
And I woke up this morning with no issues except being sore from the gym. I'll keep monitoring and pay attention to what I'm doing in case something like Monday happens again.
The Haribo sugarfree gummies can cause, um, intestinal "issues." The regular ones are fine.
Ah yes, check out their Amazon reviews, they can entertain you for a whole afternoon
OMG!!!! They are hilarious. "Throw me a diaper!!!" is probably the best one1 -

The regular gummies are fine, the sugar free ones are scary. Just go to Amazon and read the reviews. I believe the exact words "volcanic eruption destroying my delicate starfish" are used in a description of the effect of too many of the sugarfree ones.0
