Do you think I would be able to run on the treadmill with stitches in my neck?

I had melanoma removed from my neck on Monday (12/6) and have several stitches that go about an inch across on my upper neck. I've been itching to get back to running on the treadmill because I've been eating unhealthily lately and need to exercise to balance it out. Would it be okay to jog for about thirty minutes with the stitches in without the wound being ripped, or should I just take it easy? When would it be okay to exercise again? Are there any other alternatives to exercise I can do?
