If the dr will allow more time off - take it and use it to get the best recuperation that you can get.

Being home is way different than being back at work full time.
If you can even start back at 1/2 days and build up to full time.

I didn't have surgery -but had troubles being sent back to full duties after PT sessions & time off work- and getting re injured = RSI /TOS

If you can think of ways to make your job more ergonomic & easier that's a good thing too.

Do you know that scar tissue/adhesions may return after surgery - like 6 +/- months later down the road.

Just something to be aware of.

I'd just that to see you get re injured again.

Is this bakery job your career, or just a fill in for now?
