My surgery was 06/2016 and I started building really easy about a month out. Today I have bruises all over me. Is this normal?

No it's not normal. You need to get checked. You could be extremely anemic or have a bleeding disorder. Anemia can lead to a heart attack. Please get medical care asap.

    It's your B12!!!

    Get it tested ASAP critical levels can be very damaging. Feeling lethargic too?

    Chat to your Endocrinologist - no more than 3 months between checks and injections. You get a mouth spray too

    It is common to have quite a bit of bruising during the first month after the operation because you are on blood thinners. But at 6 months post-op, this is abnormal. Need to see your doctor and resolve issue.

    If you take a B12 supplement you are relying on it all being absorbed. I inject into the muscle.
