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.

        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.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
