I think you virtually answered your own questions! With a variety of foods, protein is NO PROBLEM.
You said beans/lentils are agreeable--add a little here and there. Puree them for easy absoption. Can you tolerate mushrooms? Nutritional yeast? Chollera/sea veg.? Spirulina is high in protein. There are tons of fortified rice and nut milks/products. Grains offer a lot of protein. Can you eat quinoa? How 'bout hemp? I personally like hemp. You said soy causes you problems? Does all soy disagree with you? I'm pretty okay with fermented soy, personally...and soy without added sugars, etc. If you give me t.v.p. or a soy patty/burger/mock meat my body rebels and spazzes but they're generally full of gluten, additives and crap.
Do you tolerate green veggies alright?
Basically, with a diversity of foods, protein isn't a problem. There is no substitute for meat. Meat is meat. Vegans just eat other things that do not offend them or their bodies.
Listen to your body, Ruchie. Perhaps it is trying to instruct you, send you a message. Are you okay with seeds and sprouts? I know you love potatoes. You can do tons of things with a spud. I suppose my diet is a little bizzare...but different days call for different foods. I don't know where to begin, but know that you'll easily get enough protein with a variety of foods and you seem to be able to tummy a variety.
You'll smell better, have more energy, a lightness of being and joie de vivre with higher vibrational foods.
