The weakness is DEFINITELY from such a small calorie intake. The recommended calorie intake for woman is around 2000 a day and for men about 2500 As you can your friend is getting at least a quarter of their recommended in take. However with bariatric surgery it’s harder for a person to eat enough without feeling full but it’s important to try and increase calorific intake to help recover and heal properly from such a surgery. Your friend should probably have been referred to a dietitian after surgery and if they haven’t they should definitely go to one!
