Yes, CALL IMMEDIATELY, it is most certainly blood, as even bile has a more greenish cast to it.

In all likelihood, it is old blood from the surgery.

Sounds like old blood hope you are ok. Call the doctor that's not normal.

It does sound like old blood; often bloody vomit appears like old 'coffee grounds' and is typically black in color (it may have a very distinct smell as well... hard to describe but you will likely be surprised by the smell). If you have active bleeding, it would be bright red. I agree that your doctor will certainly want to know what you are experiencing... take care.

You should def call your Dr but if you took anything like leprosy bismol or something it can make your mouth, stools & vomit blackish. I once was scared to death by such an occurrence. I was convinced I was dying of lung cancer....alas that was not the case!

      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.
