Gastroparesis

A condition where the stomach empties unusually slowly, causing nausea, bloating, and feeling full quickly. GLP-1 medications slow stomach emptying on purpose — that's part of how they curb appetite — and in some people this can tip into more serious, persistent symptoms. Severe or lasting symptoms are worth raising with your prescriber rather than enduring.
