Hi! I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, and I was sleeved four days ago. My nutritionist had no concerns for me, so that was reassuring (although I've been veg for almost 20 years, so I knew there would be a lot of options).
I am planning on Beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, and veggie "meat" products, like veggie burgers. My nutritionist said I can start to try those things when I hit the soft-foods phase (when others can start soft meats, for instance). She did recommend using up to 2 Protein shakes from that stage forward, if I need them.
There are a couple vegan Protein Shakes that my nutritionist has on our approved list. I'll track down the name for you.
Good luck to you!
