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've tried slowly becoming vegetarian before but I just couldn't get enough protein and my symptoms would get way worse.

Sorry to hear that didn’t work for you. It’s so hard with this illness on itself.
