Is this relatable?

I’m currently six months and I’m wondering if anyone gets so overwhelmingly full from drinking water that it’s hard for them to eat and how do people keep a balance? What are some small high-protein meals that I can be eating but also I’m able to drink water

Is anyone on here vegan? Did you experience any positive or negative symptoms or physical changes since becoming vegan? I read that becoming vegan gives you more energy, makes your skin look better & improves gut health.

Also, plz post vegan recipes or YouTube/IG pages to follow for vegan recipes & snacks. 🙏🙏🙏 Also, is there anything I should know about being vegan?
