Drink fluids: Dehydration is more serious, and you did not say why you were dry. If there is a problem other than lack of intake call your doc now! Begin drinking water or electrolyte solution 64oz daily and start miralax 1 tablespoonful twice daily in 8 oz water/juice. You may need glycerin suppository or enema just to get things started again, and a trial of dulcolax daily for a few days until normal BMs.
