How much walking should I do post-op?

I am 1 week post-op and I am walking just over 1 mile daily. It makes me feel weak and tired but, very good. How much should I be able to walk at this stage? How fast should I increase my distance. I am really enjoying it, is there any way I can deal with the weakness, or is it because I have not fully recovered from surgery? I don't believe walking can really be overdone once I become used to a program of it, I'm just concerned about it until I gain more strength and endurance.
