She is able to move around but it was a big surgery on her foot.

How old is she?
How old are you?
Are you still living in a family home and your parent(s) making you look after "poor sister"?
Was it something like a hernia or hysterectomy where the "Do Nothing" period is meant to be 6-8 weeks?
All of that will affect the "correct" response. 1 1/2 lines without those sort of details doesn't give much to answer!
But all surgery should have a recuperation limit. As it nears, or now, if it is over, you get her to do little things for herself. Then you increase what you expect her to do and reduce what you do for her.
If necessary, tell her to go back to her surgeon to get a medical report on her progress. If s/he says your sister has made a full recovery, then you really start cutting back on the help for her.

Most surgeries the patient is allowed to return to work after 6 weeks. So anytime now.
It would also depend on what type of surgery she had.

yes as soon as you know that she can do something for herself and she is not just using you now .everybody likes to looked after but it can lead to the person who has surgery not trying quick enough to recover for themselves so whilst you are their see and ask her what she can do now to start on the road to recovery

if shes just doing it to get attention then you should just stop
when she feels better then or good enought to take care of herself then stop being her slave
or just have someone else be her slave

It all depends on your criteria to see in which cases she really needs your help and in which cases she is abusing your kindness.
This problem has many variables, and you should see in what cases she evidently needs help.

What is the anticipated period of recovery? Encourage your sister to do more for herself if her recovery is nearing completion.

If you are willing and able, continue. Otherwise quit.
Talk to her anyway.
