Im constantly finding bruises on my legs and arms! Anyone have this problem? I drink my Water everyday and take my Multivitamin as well. This must be lack of something. What do I do?

Unless you are on blood thinners, or even use lots of advil, then that is odd. I'd probably ask my PCP if I were you.

Iron. You're probably not getting as much iron because you're not eating much. meat, fruit, leafy greens all have lots of iron. Good luck!

I chew Flintstones Complete with CHOLINE. They are in a orange box, and the Choline is important.

All of us at my clinic are put on these Vitamins Bypass, Band, and Sleeve etc....

I have tried them from Costco's, but they just don't have the kick, that the original, by Flintstones have.

I take 4 a day, Every Day ! I have NO sign of Bruising at all, and I feel PEPPY !

If I were to go without them, I would be bruised, and tired.

I know what I am talking about... Or I wouldn't say sh*t about it. I been doing these Vitamins for 5 yrs..

So I know they work...

But you must buy the COMPLETE with CHOLINE, or it won't work....

Again they are in the Orange Box.

Try them for about 1 month, then look and see how your bruising is gone.

Even my PCP can't believe it, but,,,, she's not a specialist.

Some supplements (fish oil and ginkgo) have blood thinning properties that can cause you to bruise more easily. steroids cause the skin to thin making it bruise more easily, not just pills & injections but also topicals. Are you using anything like Cortisone, Hydrocortisone or Prednisone for anything? Easy bruising can also be a sign of diabetes.

We weigh more then the average person. So instead of 1 or 2, I double it to 4, and it works fine.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
