Answers:
It might help you feel better if you are getting enough essential proteins in youe diet. I'm a vegetarian as well, but I make sure I get my protein from taking skim milk and low fat dairy products. I also still eat free range eggs. The fable of being healthier on a vegetarian diet just isn't true if you still take mock meats that are made of gluten, which is simply empty calories with no nutritional value at all. Also, most vegetarian meals outside (hawker centers and restaurants alike) sell deep-fried food, which simply defeats the purpose of going vegetarian.
If your diet is already a well-balanced and healthy one now (i.e. consisting of brown rice, pasta and breads; lots of fibre from different fruits and vegetables of different colours; low fat dairy and dairy products; white meat without skin and fat trimmed from it), I'll say you're doing just fine. If you're still thinking of going vegetarian, do make sure you steer clear of the mock and deep fried stuff. And also ensure that your protein intake is adequate by incorporating unsalted, unsweetened, unroasted nuts (such as cashews and macademia) in your diet. If you like your nuts roasted, get the raw ones from the supermarkets, and roast them yourself at home without any added sugar, butter, margarine or salt. Ready roasted nuts that you get from the supermarkets are sprayed with oil during roasting, which can turn rancid, release lots of disease causing free radicals, and are unhealthy.
Tofu (unfried) is a great option as well. You can add them in soups, in your stir-fries, even make them into burger patties by mashing them with cashews.
For butter on bread, use avocado, which has been shown to be beneficial to heart conditions and in lowering blood cholesterol level. If you drink fruit juices, buy the fruits, and juice them youself, as commercial juices contain added sugars. Make sure you drink them with the pulp, with some added ginger, within 5 minutes of juicing to prevent them from losing their water-soluble vitamins.
Finally, any drastic changes in diet is best discussed with a qualified dietician or nutritionist as you have an existing medical problem. Your doctor should be able to refer you to one of them. What you've been doing so far is already good enough though...and great job in quitting smoking and getting your exercise!
Take care and good luck.

personal expirence I would advocate changing to a diet that is mainly vegetable orientated. I cook a lot of Punjabi vegetable dishes - the spices make the veg interesting and the fibre does wonders for the bowels.
However, the body needs proteins, and there are certain amino acids that the body cannot synthesize from vegetable protein, so have some meat or chicken once a week. Fish, too, should be eaten to keep calcium levels up.
Explore the web for interesting veg recipes, or visit an Indian restaurant and try the vegetable curries and the lentil dishes (dahl). You will find that vegetarian food can be pleasant, satisfying, and very beneficial to your health and general good feelings.
