Which core exercises should I avoid after tummy tuck?

I had a tummy tuck in April & had a seroma that had to be aspirated. I'm finally allowed to workout again and am training for a triathlon as well kickboxing and roller derby. What core workouts should I avoid? My surgeon said no ab exercises for another 2 months, but does that include planks, push ups, dips, burpees, mountain climbers, bear crawls, kettle bell swings, etc? I feel planks, KB swings, and burpees are a no since they rely on the abs, But what about the rest? Thanks!
