You are correct to be concerned about putting weight on bottom of the foot. You can still stretch the incision. Because you do not want to bear weight. Tell the surgeon. They might want to look at the surgical site. Clear drainage is not unusual. Continue not to bare weight. Should be ok You did not mention how many days post op.
