Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Perfectly normal. Most everyone has loss of appetite. It has a lot to do with the fatigue, general anaesthsia and medications. I would suggest you to have food in smaller quantity and try to have food which you like. Try to avoid spicy food.
I would suggest you to check your weight, and most of the time there might not be change in it.

Yet , again I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,
