I wasn't allowed to do anything other than walk for the first 6 weeks post-op. After that, I was allowed to ease into anything I wanted to do. It'll be important to listen to your body and stop if you need to, I'd definitely recommend informing your instructor that you've had surgery and may need to child's pose more than normal in the beginning.
All that said - ask your surgeon for their specific requirements.

Talk to your team. My doc cleared me for anything 2 weeks post surgery. I was cleared to do cardio (walking/jogging) immediately after surgery. The key was to listen to how my body responded. I was in the gym 5 days after surgery on a recumbent bike for an hour while watching Breaking Bad (it was how I got myself on the bike - that was my treat). But I was very active prior to surgery, which made a difference for me. Check with your doc. S/he may have his/her own timetable for you.
Keep on losing!
