Hi everyone. I have been putting off getting started on the Alli pills for the simple fact that I'm scared of the side effects. My biggest problem is time. I am currently in school, and working 13 hours a day 6 days a week. I have read that when you first start taking the pill, you should be at home incase of TE's. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do. I am already somewhat of a lowfat eater, but I have a bad addiction to carmel frappucinos. I am also fairly active, and really need to lose about 30lbs. So, if anyone can help, I would love to hear your input.
