There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. If two explanations both fit, the useful question is which one predicts something the other does not. That is answerable; arguing about which sounds more plausible is not.
Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. The mechanism that matters here is not stomach emptying, it is central.

Delayed gastric emptying largely tachyphylaxes over the first months; the appetite effect does not.
