With gastroparesis, raw fruits and veggies are the enemy as they are hard for the stomach to digest, and can also form bezoars- a furball blocking your stomach from emptying.
Everyone is different- low fiber and residue, best to eat clean, stay away from processed food, nothing fried, greasy, meat is tough unless it's ground
Seafood is another good one that your belly doesn't have to work hard on

There exists a diet with 3 stages. Each correlating to severity with 1 being during the most severe stages while a person can still consume orally. It basically progresses from liquids to full fluids to purees and heartier foods as tolerated. And these things are just constant longstanding rules that I've found for GP sufferers: low fibre to prevent bezoar formation, low fat so the stomach can empty more quickly, lots of liquids with nutrition and many small meals (around 6) spread approximately 2 hours apart as tolerated.
