I tried to find a better description using google so forgive the copy and paste, but it is common that people have these issues when starting both from studies and I have known many that dealt with this.
It is worth considering that you may be having the lasting effects of a previous meal.
I would definitely be sure and hydrate.
Here is a description from a google search regarding slowed digestion and how it is the most impactful when first starting GLP1s:
START GOOGLE
GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as Wegovy and Ozempic) significantly slow gastric emptying, causing food to remain in the stomach for a longer duration, sometimes up to 48 hours in cases of significantly slowed motility, compared to the normal emptying time of about 8 hours. This sustained, <24-hour retention is a key mechanism for managing appetite, with studies showing 37% of a solid meal still in the stomach 4 hours post-ingestion. [

Key Findings on Digestive Changes:
Initial vs. Long-term: The slowing effect is most profound in the first month of treatment, with significant adaptation (tachyphylaxis) occurring over 4–16 weeks as the body adjusts, although some delayed emptying persists.
Increased Retention Time: Studies found that at 4 hours after eating, about 37% of a meal remains in the stomach of those taking semaglutide, compared to almost zero in those not taking it.
Stomach Paralysis Risk: While common, some users may develop extreme slowing, known as gastroparesis (or "stomach paralysis"), which can cause lingering food to harden and create complications, affecting roughly 1 in 20 new users.
Common Symptoms: Due to the slowed digestion, users often experience early satiety, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and constipation, especially during dosage increases.
Surgery Warning: Because food remains in the stomach for over 24 hours, healthcare providers may recommend stopping GLP-1 therapy before surgeries to reduce the risk of anesthesia complications
THIS IS WHAT GOOGLE recommends:
To manage digestive side effects (like nausea, bloating, or constipation) caused by GLP-1s slowing stomach emptying, eat smaller, frequent meals, prioritize low-fat, bland foods, and stay highly hydrated. Key strategies include avoiding high-fat, greasy foods; staying upright after eating; and, if necessary, speaking with a doctor about adjusting the medication dose. [

Here is a comprehensive guide on managing GLP-1 induced delayed gastric emptying:
Dietary Adjustments
Smaller, Frequent Meals: Instead of three large meals, eat 5-6 small, nutrient-dense meals throughout the day to avoid overworking the digestive system.
Follow the "Bland" Rule: Consume easy-to-digest foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (the BRAT diet) to manage nausea.
Avoid Trigger Foods: Reduce or avoid high-fat, fried, greasy, and heavily spiced foods, as these stay in the stomach longer and trigger reflux and vomiting.
Increase Fiber Carefully: To manage constipation caused by slow transit, gradually increase fiber intake. Good options include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Separate Liquids and Solids: Avoid drinking while eating. Drink fluids between meals to avoid overloading the stomach. [

Lifestyle and Timing
Stay Upright: Do not lie down for at least 30 to 60 minutes after eating to prevent acid reflux.
Hydration is Critical: Sip water constantly throughout the day to avoid constipation and dehydration.
Slow Down: Eat slowly and stop eating immediately when you feel full to avoid overeating and severe nausea.
Move After Eating: Light physical activity, such as walking, can help boost digestion. [

Addressing Specific Symptoms
Nausea: Try ginger tea, ginger candy, or peppermint tea.
Bloating and Gas: Use over-the-counter aids like simethicone (Gas-X) or alpha-galactosidase (Beano).
Constipation: Ensure adequate water intake, increase fiber, and consider using fiber supplements or stool softeners under medical guidance. [

Medical Management
Lower the Dose: If symptoms are persistent, ask your doctor to reduce the dosage or slow the rate of escalation to allow your body time to adjust.
Timing of Meds: If taking oral semaglutide, ensure a 30-minute window before eating or taking other medications.
Review Medication: Medications like Zofran can be prescribed to manage severe, short-term nausea
