Bruising easily

I'm just over 3 months out from my RNY.  Over the last couple weeks I've noticed that I bruise really easily.  I probably have 40 odd bruises on myself right now...and I have no idea where most of them came from.    I did have my 3 month bloodwork done last week...haven't heard back yet, but I'm told that could take a few weeks.    I'm wondering if it might be signs of vitamin deficiencies?  Overall I'm feeling good but I think my stamina is down actually from where it was a few weeks ago.

I doubt vitamin deficiencies this early out.  I think with less fat your blood vessels are closer to the surface and bruising easier.

low iron, Vit K, B12, can cause that.

the results - should take 1-3 days the most- some of them can take a week.. 

I go through bruising spurts.. I bruise easily for a month or two then it just stops. My bloodwork is perfect also. Im 2.5 years post op RNY. Good luck!!!!!

Yep, what was already said.  Vitamin deficiencies CAN cause it, but it isn't likely you have any at just 3 months out (and most labs only take a day or two).  It is far more likely that the decrease in fat is no longer cushioning your veins, capillaries, etc.

Additionally, some people are also beginning to be much more active at about 3 months out and that can result in additional bruising.
