Does anyone have a suggestion for a safe treadmill speed for post-ops?

I'm a month post-op and roughly 220 lbs. I plan to begin going to the gym next week. While I don't want to over do it, I don't want to under do it either. Should I expect to go at a moderate speed for a long length of time or a slow speed for a long length of time? What's the average timeframe for a new post-op to exercise? Just so you know, I was in decent shape before surgery and could easily do 30 minutes on the treadmill at 3.5 mph. I just want to set a realistic expecation for myself. I appreciate any input.
