B12 should never be an issue - the average multivitamin contains something like 400%+ of your %DV . . . however, you may want to spend some time comaparing vitamins, as desired intake varies WILDLY (for instance, I actually take Centrum Silver - I don't really want the extra iron).

For protein, it completely depends on how much you want to take in - for many, I'd imagine general vegetarian options (beans/legumes, tofu, etc) can easily meet your needs, with some planning.
