Walking. Its free, you can start slow & it works a fair few muscles & gets the blood pumping. If you can, try staying on the flat for a few weeks, just to make it easier.
Do it as long as it feels comfortable so I would suggest doing blockies around your house so you can get back quickly if you feel any discomfort. You will know when you feel stronger & capeable of going a bit futher.
