I'd look into why you are not digesting well.

That long term use of Cipro could have really done a number on your Gut flora... Helping to fix that would allow you to eat more varied diet.

If you have gastroparesis that would be something that is not really fixable...you would need to work around it.

The best way to gain would be using good fats liberally. Flax oil in smoothies, olive oil in salads, nuts if you can deal with them (you could process them into butter consistency), coconut oil, etc.
Use the whey protein liberally... to prevent losing heart muscle which once it is consumed for protein, does not grow back.
