Tips for getting started

I have been thinking about going vegan/vegitarian for a while, but I am not sure if I will be physically able to do it on my own (I have a hard enough time taking care of myself as it is), but I figured it is worth a shot at least for a bunch of reasons actually, but I do not really know very much about actually doing it. I have digestive tract issues and can not cook (yet) and food options are limited, so I would likely not be able to be full vegan 100% of the time at least until I can afford to buy all my own food. What really got me thinking about it more than before was when I saw the chicken truck in person not very long ago, all those chickens crammed in tiny cages, not looking like life was ever good to them. I guess I am just a bit lost on where to start and what my options are.
