Vegetarian Diet Help Needed Please

Are there any vegetarians out there who have the diet figured out?  I don't eat poultry or seafood.  I am lactose intolerant and hate eggs unless they are in cookies or cake or something where I don't see or feel or taste them.  I am worried that there may not be enough options for me to survive on other than lactose free protein powder shakes, once I have my sleeve done.  I am not sure I could survive on those shakes alone for the rest of my life.  My doc suggested beans and tofu, but even with that, how the heck would that total up to 60 grams of protein per day??  Please help - my surgery is in 2 weeks!

Thanks,

I had GBS 3 years ago and just recently became a vegetarian...  There are many many recipes that you can have without eggs, and I too and lactose intolerant.  I do still have a protein shake in the morning, but the rest of the day I eat veggie style.  I am having some stomach issues, but I believe ( I hope) them not to be because of the change over.  Good luck on the surgery...
