Looking back I wish I went into LL a little overweight while still having the same fitness and flexibility.  I went in pretty lean and couldn't eat enough to give the energy my body needed after the surgery.  Throwing up hospital food due to anesthesia effects (or morphine maybe) and no appetite afterwards due to drugs, pain, tiredness, mental etc.  I lost a lot of weight that was mostly muscle and probably hurt my recovery

Assuming that you don't exercise often, the problem is that you will have a bad recovery if you continue to not exercise after surgery. It'll take much longer before you can walk properly or even be able to run or go up and down stairs or crouch down to pick up something.

Being obese is a big NO NO.
Being overweight isn't advisable.
Weightbearing becomes increasingly complicated as you are fatter.
