I had a minor ovarian surgery a few years ago and it kept me on the couch for a little while. I started my activities a bit too quickly, was overly enthusiastic, and was violently thrown back on the couch with a lot more pain and fatigue than I had to begin with. Be gentle on yourself...

The only good thing was that I lost about 10 pounds (before, not after the surgery). But if you stay on the couch longer, be careful not to eat anything just because you're bored...

Good luck!
