Vegan diet: With good balance, this is a very healthy diet. The nutritional factors you might want to consider are those that come for most people with meat such as iron, vitamin b12, and vitamin d (depending on whether you drink milk or dairy products). Congratulations on your success with your cholesterol!

Congrats!: Awesome job! one thing though, make sure you are exercising regularly, which will help increase your good cholesterol and lower blood pressure.
