Removed Gallbladder, Diarrhea, Bright Red Blood N Stool, Nausea. Need To Go To ER?

Hi, I had my gallbladder removed 2 days ago and have been recovering as I think I should be. However,
today I started having very bad diarrea, it has gone from dark brown to a very pale yellow and looks oily. The most recent time (about 1/2 hour ago) I had some bright red blood in my stool. I am also very naseaus but that has been on and off since I came home and I've been using zofran. what would cause this to happen? should I go to the emergency room or is this something that can wait til morning when the office is open?
Thank you
