I've been a vegetarian for 13 years, and what I do is take a multivitamin every day. Besides that, I try to drink two large glasses of milk for the protein, use the Barilla protein pasta, and eat tofu in my morning smoothie at least five times a week. That seems to work well for me. I'm almost anemic, but I was that way before I became a vegetarian, so I think it's just how I am.
I stopped cold turkey one day, and it was very hard. I had cravings for meat for three or four years at least. However, I was motivated, so I worked through it. And it's getting easier to eat out and to buy good vegetarian products. Hopefully you have a good supermarket near you.
