Try adding fiber: A diet including beans, green leafy vegetables, fruits daily on a routine basis with each meal is very helpful. Also grains such as breakfast oatmeal and even nuts sparingly. I would keep the intake of water to 2-3 liters per day which you are doing (33 oz= 1 liter). If no bm in the next 2-3 days even after increasing dietary fiber please call your doc as they may want to see you. :)
