OMG you work for BANANA? LOL
ok all kidding aside, do you lift more than 15 - 20 pounds at once?
If no, then a week at least (more if you want it, but if you're tough, a week will do) If you lift 2 weeks minimum depending on when your doc says it's ok.

If preop at the end of the day you are worn out, then take longer than a week. Post op I felt pretty good but you still have anesthesia etc that has to work its way out, plus you are on liquids (probably) and that can make you a little dizzy and tired more easily. So if you can take 2 weeks, do. You'll probably be bored week 2 but better bored than run ragged.
