So when I left the hospital yesterday, the liquid going into my drain was clear. Now it's pink and the tube has blood in it. Should I be worried?

Keep an eye on it though. My doctor said to call his office if the drainage became bright red/bloody. The dusty red/pinkish was to be expected, he said.

I am 2 weeks post -op, and mine did the same thing. The more I moved the less likely it was to be the clear stuff. Also I must have slept wrong, because I would wake up with alot of red in it. If the amoung increases a lot, then call the Dr. The drain is the worst part of the surgery at least to me it was. I got mine out on Friday, 11 days.

Yep, mine did the same thing.

Started as pinkish lymph, then went to blood, then went to clear yellow fluid that looked like urine.

All totally normal. Beware of bright red blood. But otherwise, totally normal.
