Help! Not Sleeping :(

Hey everyone!

I was sleeved on Dec. 7th, and so far everything has been progressing nicely (14lbs. down since surgery, and walking a good distance each day whoo hoo!) The only real roadblock I am facing is I am not sleeping well, or at all most nights. The problem is that pre-sleeve, I slept on my stomach...and well, it's going to be a bit of time before that happens again. I slept ok when I was on the meds (ohhh percocet), but I have been off any pain meds for a week, and my body will not fall asleep! I really hate taking sleeping pills, and don't know if I should be taking those anyway right now...any suggestions for a maybe more natural approach, or has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks so much and Happy Holidays everyone!!

Hey all!

Thank you so much for the tips! I tried the Melatonin last night, and I am happy to say that while I didn't stay asleep trough the entire night, I did get a few hours of hardcore much needed sleep. I will try some of the other suggestions too! I also want for my walk a little later in the evening too so I was tired later. I really appreciate all the responses!

Yayyy!!! Thats great news. :)
