It is very kind of you to support your partner so much.
There is a phone app called "lose it" that can help people track calories and set other health goals. It is free unless you want upgrades.
Pain meds often cause weight gain...coupled with lower activity levels from pain, it is a recipie for weight gain. For me, tracking calories in very carefully helped.
I've heard some people have good luck with the drug Wellbutrin (to help mood but also decrease weight).
Good luck
