Post Op Question

had surgery Friday for an umbilical hernia wasn’t prepared for surgery went for preop and doctor said no you’re doing this today since I had an early morning appointment and hadn’t eaten. So really wasn’t prepared for surgery. Doing well can get up out off couch unassisted and haven’t even had a pain pill today. The thing is I can’t go to the bathroom at all. I’ve taken a dose of myralax Saturday and today Sunday but nothing. Should I be considered at this point? I’m urinating fine and passing gas. My appetite is fine but I can’t go to the restroom at all. I don’t want to panic or take more than recommended dose of myralax which is once a day just curious if this is normal and “this too shall pass”.
