It will depend entirely on (1) your individual biology and (2) the medication you're taking.
A cursory search of anxiety medications' side effects will reveal they can cause weight gain, cause weight loss, or have no known effect on weight.

There's something incredibly delightful about a consensual power exchange; knowing that I have earned someone's trust to the extent required to feed and even overfeeding them is thrilling.
Another thing I love which I've mostly only explored in RP (but got a taste of last weekend when my partner called themselves a glutton) is when the person I'm feeding acts greedy. One day I want to hear someone say, "Feed me more," after becoming too full to reach for food themselves.

I made the mistake of searching for posts mentioning "feeder" in r/relationships. People are not kind to that which they don't understand or have heard only horror stories of.
Now I want to hear about your favorite parts about being in a relationship or going in a date with someone who shares (or accepts) your kink, from fictional tropes to real-life experiences!
For me, one thing that stood out during my recent first experience stuffing someone was seeing their contented smile as I hand-fed them. Spoiling my partner and feeling responsible for their pleasure and contentment was euphoric in a way I've been yearning for for quite a while.

I found my latest partner through Hinge, and even before that my matches have been worthwhile.
The only other app I have to compare it to is Bumble, and I can say I vastly prefer Hinge. Just use its free features to their full extent. The ability to start a conversation about something specific on their profile defines the experience of the app. Engage with people through those elements and prompts. Likewise, fill out your profile with things that spark interest. Don't just brag; invite curiosity.

Update:
We had a lot of fun! We watched their favorite show and ate a ton of sushi, ramen, and Korean food through the weekend. I'm very glad they're comfortable with me playing with their belly. We ended up sleeping a ton--being comfy and full is a great recipe to end up asleep.
I hope I get the chance to feed them again someday, but for now we're both starting our healthy diets and exercise so our doctors get off our backs. They were open to the idea of doing this every once in a while--a cheat day taken to the extreme--so I'm looking forward to that possibility in the future!

Fellow feeder here. My first question is what are your expectations for the feeding. What experience do you and your partner want to have?
We're planning to have a lot of sushi tomorrow. My partner has been fascinated by mukbangs in the past and has always wanted to sit down and see how much they can eat, and they suggested doing this this weekend.
We're going to be doing other things too--watching a show, playing games, doing my nails--all around an enjoyable time, just with a lot of food.
They're arriving tonight and we're having ramen, then tomorrow we're ordering a bunch of sushi. Sunday is unplanned.
We've agreed on feeding each other--it's sushi, of course I'm gonna eat it--by hand, things like that. They're also bringing their toys, and we've discussed that there's a possibility of pleasuring them while they eat.
Any other details you'd like to know?
Edit:
We're also gonna be on some edibles (1:1 THC:CBD); I figure that's an important detail.

Ahh, John Oliver is fantastic. I watched the first one and I now i get to be angry at pharma all over again.
I guess you're right; doctors are kinda stuck as the middle-man here too. Pressure from phara companies, hospital administration, insurance, and more all are contributing to these issues and it's not fair to blame the doctors.
It would help too if primary care physicians were given more time with each patient--I remember starting care last week and talking about potential ADHD symptoms, and I walked out with a prescription for Adderall after a 6 question survey he seemed to pull from the internet. I would have preferred a diagnosis and a referral to specialist; instead I have amphetamine. Not to say I don't think it might be helpful for my case; but it some more time to talk about options seems like it could go a long way to avoid prescribing potentially addictive drugs.
Still, I think there are a lot of parallels. Language like "it changed my life" which Purdue used to market opioids is exactly the kind of thing that I hear in weight loss ads--and I'm sure we have all heard the "Oh, oh, oh, Ozempic!" commercial.
...Imagine heroin or other opiods being prescribed for weight loss.

Hoo boy. Where do I begin?
I've worked in the health care industry for many years so I remember a time when Ozempic was just a medication for type 2 diabetic struggling to get their blood sugar under control. As in you tried diet, exercise, and other medications so it was time for the big guns.
Celebrities telling people they take Ozempic for weight loss is the worst possible thing. The first is that diabetics have been struggling to get their hands on this life-saving medication. I've spoken to countless diabetics telling me about how they've had to ration their medication or go without because the pharmacy is out.
The second is that taking diabetic medication when you aren't diabetic will mess up your internals. Plus, if you stop taking the medication, you gain it all back. I can understand taking this if you are severally obese, in poor health, and nothing works. But for everyone else? I can't justify it.
I wouldn't be shocked if there's a class action lawsuit about this in the future.
I actually hadn't realized how Ozempic was supposed to be the last line of defense for diabetics; I knew the off-label use was causing shortages but... wow.
Isn't the Hippocratic oath supposed to prevent this sort of thing? Obviously it's not a binding legal oath, but...
This reeks a bit of the same stink around the opioid epidemic.

What can I do to make eating a lot as comfortable as possible for my partner?
A new partner of mine is going to be over for the weekend, and they've expressed interest in eating a ton during their stay. I've told them about my kink and made certain they understand what I'm getting out of it, and they'll be sure to communicate boundaries and expectations over the weekend as well.
We're not aiming for particularly fattening food (in general we're both trying to eat healthy, and this will be a special occasion for them as they're losing weight for health reasons).
I'm also not worried about keeping them absolutely stuffed to the brim (though if that's what they end up wanting to do, I'll happily oblige).
I'm more looking for tips for making eating/digestion/comfort/aftercare as enjoyable as possible. Any advice?

My hope is that it will be short-lived.
I doubt it will be. Many of the articles about this I've read have statements from the manufacturers of Ozempic its ilk which show enthusiasm for the potential market of weight loss drugs. They see it, as you indicate, as a money-making scheme.
What's more, I fear that the potential negative sentiment won't be a mere indirect cause of these drugs becoming available to the public.
As the article you shared indicates, corporations are more than happy to shell out a lot of money in advertising campaigns to shift public sentiment to be favorable to their product.
We are seeing something similar with the rise of SUVs in the US and now in other countries thanks to a shift in perception that they are safer (despite the exact opposite being true, with SUVs being held to lower safety regulations than other vehicles), as this video and its sources show:
The nightmare scenario is the resurgence of heroin chic (which I've read has started already) and the overt demonization of fat and fat appreciators fueled by the immense wealth available to the pharmaceutical industry.
Frankly it's insane that drug companies can have commercials and pay for advertisement in the US...
