Hello and thank you for your question.
Some people gain weight after a surgery because they are inactive. As you recover eat normally and try to avoid junk food and focus on fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Stay active and as soon as you are able walk for at least 30 minutes every day. For most young healthy people there is not a lot of weight gain after appendectomy.
Regards
