[quote=JetAgeHobo]Taking this one day at a time, trying to gain weight but finding that almost impossible, doing protein shakes, as big a meal as I can get down, which sometimes isn't that much. [/quote]

Try Christine's crazy one billion calorie milkshake, or something simliar. Of course this means your diet is very high in sugar and fat - it's not ideal, but you need the calories. As long as you're still getting some protein (adding the protein powder really does help), hopefully you can prevent significant muscle loss. I lived on these milkshakes for a few months and went through a whole bunch of cocoa, peanut butter, ice cream, full fat milk and protein powder.

Edit: Here's a link to Christine's recipe. I made similar milkshakes but usually bought vanilla ice cream so I could change it up. Added things like frozen cherries, a can of coconut milk, dry malt extract, etc,
