Start weight bearing but avoid knee bending (flexion). You can manage with long knee brace.

You should refer to your primary treating doctor for the rehabilitation protocol planning. When you mix up the protocols, you will land in trouble.

Weight bearing will not be a problem here. You could’ve started bearing weight from day 1. The problem here will be knee Flexion
