Weight Loss After Having A Food Poisoning Episode. Need Help

Hi there! Would be great if you could help me find the answer to this.
I had food poisoning about a month or so ago, I was throwing up quite violently. And since then I haven't been able to fit much food in me at all. I get full very easily now. Usually after a tin of soup I'll be stuffed! Since then I have lost over half a stone in weight.
I'm a female, 18 years old, 5ft 5, and 118 pounds. I don't want to go lower than this :( would be great if you could help!
