Time for recovery from mini stroke is completely on how much your body is affected. When you feel you are fit and active and ready to start your job I suggest you can start. At the same time for even minor stroke I suggest my patient to take rest for 7 to 10 days. Keep checking your blood pressure regularly and do regular exercise like walking and cycling etc. For you I suggest as you have told you are over weight do check your cholesterol and control on your diet have healthy things and control your weight to. Take care
