"From the day of the surgery" doesn't sound natural to me. It sounds like it must be exact to the day. A month is a long time by comparison.
Use crutches for the first three months should be adaquate.
Use crutches for the first three months should be adaquate.

I'd suggest:
Use crutches for three months after your surgery.
(I totally agree -- no need to say "while walking.")
