Bruising everywhere!!!help!

Ok. I'm almost 3 months out. I have been noticing bruises appearing out of nowhere. I have a 5 year old that climbs on me but I don't think it's from him. I was thinking that my iron could be low? Could this cause bruising? I go for labs oct 9th but I just wanted to get an opinion and some input now. I take one 45 mg feosol iron tablet every night and a vitamin c. Is this enough?

Vitamin K - it's a fat soluble vitamin so you need to be tested before supplementing and if you do have a deficiency make sure you take dry vitamin K

It might be enough iron, it might not.  Is there iron in your multi?  Do you menstruate?

It could also be low vitamin K.

This is just my experience with bruising. I started bruising after about 3 or 4 months out. My doctor checked all my labs and they were within normal limits. Both of my physicians said it was because of the rapid weight loss and there was less padding over and around bony places. I still bruise very easy and have no idea how it happens but I don't worry about it anymore. I just consider them my RNY trophies...lol! I hope yours are as simple as mine.

A few months ago I started noticing the same thing. I had just had my 6 month blood work and everything was great. I've often wondered about it but are still confusd!

I;m 15 months out and I still bruise, sometimes my boyfriend before he had surgery ,was thinking someone was rough handling me sexually because they were on parts of my body where I could see or reach..lol
