The Short Answer
It takes a while for your body to register the alteration in hydration/water levels, so it takes a while for the first pee to come. After you body has caught up, it needs to then keep on top of the situation, so to speak, so you pee more regularly until you're back to regular hydration levels. When you drink, it doesn't immediately go into your bladder – it goes to your stomach and into your bloodstream and is filtered by the kidneys etc. etc. and THEN goes to your bladder – your body takes a wee bit of time for this process to occur and for a continuous supply of excess liquid to keep filling up your bladder. It's also why you continue to pee more than usual when you stop drinking for a couple of hours or so. Delayed reaction.
