The Foot Surgeon will advise you.
It all depends on the exact surgery you are having. You would need to discuss with your surgeon as sometimes you are placed in a splint, sometimes a cast, sometimes a boot, and sometimes a post operative shoe.
The most important thing is to defer support with the use of crutches.
Your surgeon will give you specific recommendations depending on what his being done during the surgery and what type of weight bearing status he will allow after surgery. Good luck
