She should really focus on rehabilitation once her surgery is done. Her rehabilitation programme should cover EVERYthing she needs and has to do, from range of motion to proprioception to flexibility to resistance to cardio training, progressing through phases I to IV, where she should be at 100% again.
If she wants to do something in the meantime, get her doing cardio - cycling (stationary bike, elliptical, stepper, pool walking, etc.). She can do lower body bodyweight exercises and plyometrics. There's heaps she can do. Think outside the box, and use common sense.
And if she's so concerned about calories, get her to ADJUST HER CALORIC INTAKE accordingly for her new activity level - since her Maintenance will decrease due to a decrease in activity.
