how many hours will it take before I can..

- walk ?

- brush my teeth?

- put on a button up shirt without assistance?

- eat?

- bend down?

- sit on the toilet?
... and the saga continues

For all of these I'd say within an hour of waking up.  Bending down may be the exception, I can't really remember though.

I was pretty sore after my surgery I wasn't able to put on a shirt without assistance for about 2 days.

From my experience, I walked right when I woke up.  
Eat chicken within 4 hours of waking up. Brushed teeth in the evening. It took me 2 days before I could get on a buttom up shirt on by myself. I didn't want to try to stretch back there, out of fear of ripping a stitch out.
First few days will be sore. It quickly fades away though.
