11. I didn't find it difficult at all.

Vegan soy cheeses were few in number and absolutely dire in quality (remember Soymage? Gag) when I started my vegan diet in '89, so they weren't really an option. Within a few weeks I never even thought about cheese. I've recently started eating Daiya cheeses and they've gotten good enough that even the omnis in my house are happy eating them.

Proper donut shop-style donuts are the only thing I crave even now, even though I guarantee the memory I have of what they taste like after all these years is nothing like the reality.
