Gastroparesis symptoms with constipation: the delayed gastric emptying from GLP-1 agonists can cause early satiety, bloating, and feeling "full" for hours after a small meal.
Tips: eat your protein FIRST (most important macro), then vegetables, then carbs last. Chew thoroughly — 20-30 chews per bite isn't excessive. Avoid carbonated beverages with meals. If symptoms are severe, your doctor may recommend a gastric emptying study.
One thing that is still open after Dr.ObesityMed’s answer:
Whether fiber actually helps GLP-1 constipation or whether the evidence is borrowed from a different population?

Sulfur burps on constipation — the most underrated side effect nobody warned me about. 🤢 The smell is absolutely vile and comes on without warning.
What finally helped: eliminating eggs and cruciferous vegetables. Also, eating smaller portions and chewing thoroughly reduces the gas production.
If sulfur burps persist beyond 2-3 weeks, talk to your provider — it could indicate gastroparesis that needs medical attention.

Heartburn management on constipation: omeprazole 20mg has been my savior. The delayed gastric emptying means stomach acid just sits there.
Don't ignore persistent heartburn — chronic acid exposure can damage your esophagus. If OTC remedies aren't cutting it after 2 weeks, see your doctor for something stronger. You shouldn't suffer through this.
