Yeah even after major surgeries they usually try to get you up and moving as quickly as possible. If you just lay down your muscles will atrophy quick, and the scars inside and outside can more easily form in ways that might cause huge problems later on, or simply just restrict your movement. Moving also helps your guts work, fluids flow, and the usual processes working kinda means the healing will kick in too

I had major surgery last summer. I was told full recovery was about an 8 month process and I read a lot of people online saying they didn't feel fully recovered for a year afterwards. I wasn't allowed to do any exercise except walking for 2 months following the surgery, but was told to walk as much as possible to help recovery. I started a little too soon, I was told to wait at least a week but was out hobbling very short distances around my neighborhood by day 3 because I was coughing a lot and was afraid of getting pneumonia and I'm also terrified of blood clots. By 10 days I was walking a few miles every day and after a few weeks I started doing gentle hikes. I felt pretty much 90% back to normal by about 2 months, which was when I was allowed to go back to work, and by 2 1/2 to 3 months I felt completely recovered and back to normal.
