Bruising easily anyone?



Recommended Posts

I have little bruises all over mr lately. My wrist looks like someone grabbed me and wouldnt let go and I also have little bruises on my inner thighs....which has me stumped because they are so chubby how could they possibly be hit hard enough to bruise?

Do you think it's just a coincidence or something nutritional that I'm missing?

I've also noticed this. I was getting out of the shower the other day and noticed this huge bruise - about the size of a softball - on my tummy. I don't remember being hit hard enough to do anything like that. I've been making sure I get all my protien and taking the recommended Vitamins and stuff too. It's a mystery to me...

I keep teasing dh. I keep telling him if I don't find the cause of these bruises people are going to think he's doing it.

My wrist really looks like someone just squeezed the heck out of it.

We at Henry Ford Bariatric Center are put on "FLINSTONES COMPLETE WITH CHOLINE" Now don't laugh to hard,, They happen to be one of the best Vitamins out there for Bariatric patients.

They are chewable, they are in a orange box not to be confused with the regular chew ables. These contain CHOLINE, and it is very good for you. I do about 4 a day, and no bruising. If I start to forget to take them, the bruises come back.

Takes about 2 weeks to a moth for all to go away, and not come back.

Have you had bloodwork recently? I would definitely have some done, if you are bruising so easily it could indicate a variety of different things. Not saying it definitely means anything but I still would check it out

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
