Fluid going in....not coming out....

I am 4 1/2 weeks post-op. In the past few days I have drank at least 64ozs, although my nutritionis wants me to get in 80. Two days ago I only went to the bathroom 3 times, yesterday I only went twice earlier in the day...I went to bed without going and when I woke up this morning I didn't have a real urge to go. I've only gone twice today....and today all my insides hurt...like there was pain from every area they worked on inside me. I usually do have excess fluid in my legs, but they are compressioned wrapped. While in the hospital they were concerned with my output but at the same time my legs were getting huge. I was just at my physical therapist today and my legs are at the smallest they have been. I drank a lot of water before surgery and always went 4-5 times a day...but I know I'm drinking more water now. What's going on????
