    Perhaps connection ting with other vegans to see what they're doing and eating? Feel free to add me, if youd like. Good luck!

    What's specifically challenging for you? What are the most significant changes you anticipate?
    My main suggestion as someone who went straight from omnivore to vegan is to not seek out vegan versions of American food (assuming you're surrounded by Western cuisine). Instead, look to cook more ethnic dishes that traditionally do not include dairy, like Indian or Thai food. Don't make food you'd want to put cheese on.

    Congrats on being a vegetarian for 20 years! I commend you in that :)

    I agree with previous comment. I cook a lot more ethnic food now that I've gone from vegetarian to vegan, like Vietnamese, Korean, and Thai. And make lots of bowls--ramen, bibimbap. I've learned to cook tofu so my meat-eating friends like it. Also use lots of mushrooms.
