What's a good vegan diet for diverticulitis?!
And with tofu I would recommend the softer ones as apose to firm or extra firm, canned beans if you use them as they tend to be well cooked, and drink plenty of water
Answers: I would also concer with the second person, limit the gassy products, but if you do do not eat alot of raw veg, and cut them small and make sure your chewing thing thoughly.

gritts and gravy is a good alternative to meat and tortured animals
Mainly avoid seeds, nuts and popcorn. Otherwise indulge in a wide variety of fruits & veggies, beans, tofu and whole grains. Basically eat a high fiber diet.

The others have great ideas. I would only add go to a used bookstore and buy vegetarian cookbooks ans really go through and try out and sample each recipe. You may be like me and discover you really hate beets but love sweet potatoes, or you really hate garbanzo beans but love white beans. But definitely learn to cook rice, dried beans, and a variety of squashes. Ask your doctor about nut allergies and possible soy allergies. Remember that tofu is still made out of beans the magical fruit! You can't "go vegan" without learning to cook all those vegetables, so get a couple of really good cookbooks that have step-by-step pictures. And don't be afraid to try ethnic foods such as Indian, Morroccan, Japanese, Chinese and Thai as they do a lot of wonderfully different things with every day veggies.
