can this tipe of eating keep her healthy

I have a friend that I met when we both were trying to get this operation.She had her surgury one week before I did a year ago, we both had the same doctor and I am doing fine, no problems at all. She almost died from a massive infection, part of her intestines died that was attached to her pouch and gangrene spread into her other organs. She was in the hospital for 3 weeks and she & her family went through hell.They were very upset that the risks werent explained more clearly and are not very supportive of her now.Her start weight was 267 now a year later its 195. She told me today she mostly eats chips and sweets, thats about it.I am not that close to her but have called her as often as I can to share some knowledge and give her encouragement and she is always eager to hear what I have learned here. She listens, but obviously doesnt understand how importent some things are for her health, like eating protien and getting her fluids in. She wont go back to the doctor who did her surgury, she feels even though he has a good track record,that he botched her operation. I am really worried about what this kind of eating will do to her health long term.How can she stay healthy eating like that? There are so many people who try so hard to eat right and take their vitamins and still have problems getting the protien and what they need in to keep them fit, how can these eating habits not ruin her health after awhile? Has anyone known someone that totaly ignored the right way to eat, what happened to them long term when they continued doing so?
