It sounds like you've fed him 4 times in less than two weeks, is that correct? I think once every 5 days should be good, maybe with something larger than what he was getting before... but that just depends on the size of your snake, which I don't know. I'd say just keep the humidity up in the tank, no soaks, regular feeding schedule, keep up with the antibiotics.

Make sure you explain all of this to the vet and get their recommendations for feeding/soaks/temperature/humidity during his recovery. I'm sure if they're a reptile vet, they can recommend the ideal environment. Best of luck.
The stress thing could be the case....I didn't think of it that way. As for the soaking I know my vet was very very very! Adamant about that. But the stress factor is good advice. So maybe I shouldn't handle him as much? I will definitely consider that in my visit tomorrow. Thank you very much!
