Hernia - Light lifting

[TheWorks66]

hey guys,
I just came back from the surgeon and I have a small hernia. I was told I could wait it but it may never come back perfect so I opted for surgery. He also told me that up till then, and for awhile after I should do "Light Lifting". I thought about it and I have no clue what that really means. I can guess staying away from squats, deads, heavy bench but what else? Anyone with some experience or information on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

What type of hernia is it?

It really does depend on where it is and how big it is. I could do all lifts witho out pain or it getting worse but mine was a msall umbilicle hernia so .,..
