What Causes Missed Urination Post Colostomy?

My husband has new colostomy and output has been good since the surgery on Oct. 26, 2016. We changed his bag last night at 7 pm and there has been no output since then. Do we need to be worried or just wait to see what will happen? He has taken 2 doses of Milk of Mag today. He has been cleared for regular diet and drinks plenty of liquid every day.
