How soon should an open RNY return to work as a nurse?

I'm an RN doing private-duty nursing for a heavy patient. and am pre-op. My main concern is bending down, stretching, straining post-op. I've asked my surgeon and the office surgical coordinator and have not gotten an answer yet. What can I tell my supervisors at this point?
