It can take a couple of hours to feel the need to void or urinate after drinking liquids - if you are not urinating at all - you would be seriously ill - so you need to explain a bit more of what is actually going on.  People with serious kidney disease sometimes don't put out enough urine - have you been checked for this??Also some people retain water because of a high "salt diet" so if you are eating salty foods it could cause you to retain water, get bloated and puffy - especially in your fingers/ankles and even have puffiness in your face, around your eyes.  Read labels and see how much sodium you are indeed eating.  Experts say no more than 2000 mgs/day.
