Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
You need to consult a Physiotherapist who can advice exercises which help in maintaining the body weight.
Also he would help you recover from complications of immobilization due to surgery.
Do maintain a balanced diet when there is less energy spent then the calorie intake also should be lowered.
Wish you good health.
