Hi you should be walking everyday! Even if its just getting up once an hour and walking for ten minutes..

Yep, more is generally better. Walk till you are moderately tired and try to build up your stamina till you can walk for like an hour or so if possible.

STOP walking if experiencing pain, more than mild discomfort or anything else that you deem not "normal". Walking will help you burn calories, ease post-operative discomfort by keeping your mind off the surgery and help your cardio and fitness levels.

As always consult your doctor before starting any fitness regime.
