Bruising?
Wow, i cant believe how easy i bruise now. My VSG was June 14, recently i started bruising, Anyone figure out how to stop that? Should i take 20,000 mg of b12? Mor ecalcium? Vit D? I still am only eating abut 600 calories a day - cant seem to get more than that. I focus on the protein first. but fill up fast. Any words of wisdon?
Bruising is often a sign of iron deficiency or sometimes vitamin K deficiency. I suggest asking your doc to order labs before taking more of those things, though, since it is possible to take too much.

Well, there's your problem, I bet. Ask your doc to order labs, but also start taking some iron.

You could also be very deficient in Vit C. With a protein-forward diet and being so early out you probably aren't eating any veggies or fruits. You may want to discuss that with the doc also.
