I think a big factor missing in this question is why did she get stitches. I would say that surgery is painful and it is possible the anesthesia or pain is causing her to not want to eat. I would call your vet and make sure pain was addressed properly and discuss her not eating since they know what surgery was completed. I would recommend trying to warm up some wet cat food to help stimulate her eating. Also can food has more water that can hydrate her. I would bring the food and water bowls close to her so she does not have to move very far to go get them. hope that helps
