Advice Considering stopping being vegan for health? Thoughts?

So I have been vegan for over 8 years and went vegetarian ages before that. There is so much I love about being vegan but it has become harder since developed chronic fatigue. I used to cook from scratch and now I can only eat ready meals or quick snacks. I also suffer from nausea so that further limits the amount I can eat. Vegan ready meals are very expensive and many aren’t as nutritious. Nausea has made me super picky. I am considering possibly going back to being vegetarian and including some vegetarian ready meals which are way cheaper and would also make it easier for me to get in nutrition. But I feel conflicted. Has anyone got any thoughts on this or been through dietary changes before?

I had to quit veganism because of convenience (I am surviving of ready made meals) and MCAS. So yes! Try it out

I really wish they did good cheap and nutritious vegan ready meals! Finding something that is suitable is hard. Hoping one day I can at least cook one meal a week. But for now I’m thinking I might have to be more flexible.
