First of all, I'm not vegetarian, but I do eat mostly veg.
What about eggs, cheese, yogurt, beans, nuts, nut butters and quinoa?
Do your doctors not understand that there is protein in all vegetables and grains as well? It's a small amount, but still. Or do you have some sort of need for a lot of protein?
Also, 1100 calories seems a low place to start. Granted I don't know all your details and that may be fine for you, but for most people it's impossible to get all the nutrients you need for less than 1200 calories per day (IMHO 1500 is better.)
I have a vegan co-worker who was on a high protein diet for awhile and she ate a lot of soup with TVP chunks in it. I don't know if you have any problems with soy, but that might be an option.
