+1 to CarlaRPh_TPA. Especially the point about "Re: Gym anxiety after major weight — the..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Gym anxiety after major.

Want to share my personal experience related to Gym anxiety after major weight since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 279 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 14 months later: I am down 49 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Gym anxiety after aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

LipidDoc_ATL — that is really helpful context on Gym anxiety after major. Follow-up question: did you change anything about your diet at the same time?

I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.

To answer carlos_SATX's question specifically:

From a clinical standpoint, Gym anxiety after major weight is well-supported by the literature.

The short answer: follow the standard titration protocol and reassess at 4-6 weeks.

The longer answer involves pharmacokinetic considerations around steady-state concentrations, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
