You mentioned not having a thyroid-- I'm not sure if you meant to say you didn't have a thyroid problem or you had your thyroid removed? If you had your thyroid removed sometimes not taking the medication will help gain some weight.
That being said, eating a healthy diet with added protein can help put on some weight. I know you mentioned taking protein shakes but perhaps you could also incorporate protein-rich foods such as eggs, cheese, peanut butter, yogurt as well as starchy and fibrous carbohydrates like breads, pastas, potatoes, cereals, and veggies.
Added calories will put on some weight. If you find that you continue to add calories to your diet and you still cannot put on any weight then you should visit your doctor for a complete evaluation.
