    I went vegan overnight in 2013 or so, but got acute kidney failure in January and was put on a renal diet. I tried staying vegan, but quickly realized there was no way to meet the protein needs without going way over on potassium and phosphorous, so began eating meat again (though I kept with my vegan toiletries and clothing ethics).

    Now I'm ready to resume my previous way of eating, and have returned to mfp to straighten out my diet. I'm not 100%, as hubby is not so good at checking labels, and if he bought it, I'll eat it (as long as it has no meat).

    I'd also like to have veg friends so I can stalk diaries and get ideas! And my diary is open for all!

    I was for 3 years, fell off the wagon when I moved in with my super carnivorous boyfriend, (I went to vegetarian) and am now starting over again. I loved not feeling horribly guilty about everything I ate (compassionately and nutritionally). The only thing I’m struggling with is trying to keep the costs down. My boyfriend agreed to try it with me and so far the vegan split pea soup and vegan cornbread were our biggest successes. The thing I’ve found most helpful is all of the free apps available now to help. 21 day vegan kickstart is awesome
