Hi There,
Thanks for taking in this kitty. It's really worrisome that he isn't eating, however.
Most cats recover quickly from being neutered, especially young ones. You can try offering your kitty some strained meat baby food (with no onion added) to see if it jump starts his appetite. If not, I recommend another vet visit and that some diagnostics are done, at least bloodwork. Cats that stop eating can develop a condition known as fatty liver disease in as little as 2 - 3 days. This is a very serious condition and can even be life-threatening.
If your cat is nervous, I recommend keeping him in one room until he adjusts. A cat can be overwhelmed when given the run of the house right away.
Take care, and please keep us updated.
