I will have a rectal prolapse surgery. What can you not do after prolapse surgery?

You should avoid straining. Your stool should be softened, and plenty of fiber and water to prevent straining.
That is a question for the surgeon performing the procedure.
If you have had surgery for rectal prolapse, you probably should avoid sitting on the toilet for long periods of time, straining on the toilet, excessive weight-lifting especially in a body-building program, and playing the tuba (not kidding) or other instrument that requires a lot of abdominal straining. Quit smoking especially if it causes coughing. No prolapse surgery is perfect and recurrence is common enough to be a problem for some.
Lift heavy weights and strain during bowel movement.
