5 days post-op- Bruises and Iron ...related?

I am just 5 days post-op and I am continuing to get new, big, dark bruises in the lower part of my abdomen. First, I wonder if these are still developing from the trauma of surgery? Secondly, my Doctor says my daily Iron intake should be over 300 mg per day and I am finding it impossible to get that in. Any suggestions on a good form of iron or supplement? I am concerned about not being able to take it in pill form. All suggestions and responses to both the bruising and Iron question are greatly appreciated.
