Had a septoplasty, rhinoplasty and bilateral turbinate reduction 2 weeks ago, when is exercising okay?

I am two weeks post op and going a little mad at not being able to work out any. I'm healing quite nicely with no facial swelling and hardly any nasal swelling. Is it okay to do light cardio and light weightlifting at this point? (nothing over 20 pounds). Or what exercises are allowed at this stage? When can I safely resume my full exercise routine? I worked really hard to get fit before my surgery and now I feel like I'm losing it all!
