I've tried everything for Ozempic side effects, and the biggest help was: 1) Zofran (ondansetron), a prescription anti-nausea drug. Get a script from your doctor. The dissolving ODT form suits anyone who can't even keep water down. Mornings were rough, I threw up daily at the drug's peak, a day or two post-shot. 2) Miralax. Ozempic means lots of fiber and protein needed, and Miralax keeps things moving, a daily dose until you eat more fiber. Third comes protein shakes. Breakfast doesn't appeal to me, yet the protein matters. Trial and error finds your flavor, mine is Fairlife, it tastes like chocolate milk but delivers 26g protein. Nowadays I rarely need the meds since it settles. Dose one was the worst, and symptoms resurged with every increase, but it hardly affects me now.
I eat a healthy nutritious diet with a good mix of fibre, drink plenty of water and am slowly upping my exercise, and nothing has helped so far. I've dropped 25kg and I'm very happy with that, but I have to get things moving 
I'd much rather fix this with food and nutrition, but I worry medication is coming. Pooping was never a challenge back when I was a big guy for years.
