It is pretty common for people to transition. Personally I started out committing to "meatless Mondays", which after a month or two turned into only eating meat when going out, which then turned into fully vegetarian and later vegan.
I found having this transition period was really helpful to me because it allowed me time to learn new foods that I genuinely liked and combine them in healthy ways. It didn't feel like I was making much of a sacrifice, and I actually looked forward to trying new recipes and figuring out ways to tweak and improve upon the ones that I liked. I think this is important for a lot of people, because some folks get burned out eating a bunch of bad foods that they don't enjoy and don't leave them feeling good.
As far as nutrition, you'll want to make sure you are eating plenty of whole grains, beans/legumes, nuts and seeds to get protein, healthy fats, fiber and micronutrients like iron. And lots of fruits and vegetables! Dr. Greger's daily dozen is a great rule of thumb to go by.
The only nutrient that you get from animal products that you can't get from plants is vitamin B12. Personally I take these twice a week. Some people also find it difficult to get enough iron. You might want to track your nutrition with a service like Cronometer or an app like MyFitnessPal.
A few random pieces of general advice:
This is a good cyanocobalamin b12 by nature's way. Deva also makes great vegan supplements, and they have a methyl b12 that's cheap.
Yeah it's cyanocobalamin. Anything over 250mcg/day should be fine. Another form is methylcobalamin that works better for some people. This is the one I use. I just had my levels tested and they were above range. https://www.amazon.com/Deva-Nutrition-Sublingual-Dissolve-Tablets/dp/B00EW1BVIS/
Oral supplements are absorbed just fine https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3922551/.
I just had bloodwork after 2 years being vegan, and my b12 was slightly over the top-end of the range. I just take an oral pill probably every 3-4 days or once a week sometimes, basically just whenever I remember to take it. I also drink some plant milks that are fortified with it. I also take blood builder every once in a while as a pre-workout, and it has a little bit of b12.
But a simple cobalamin or methylcobalamin supplement should be all you need. I take deva b12 (methyl) and sometimes natures way (cobalamin)
> such as you can get "b12 from plants and all your essential amino acids!" is patently incorrect and all reputable nutritionists and nutritional scientists will disagree.
This is your claim I just debunked.
>If you want to spend absurd amounts of money on expensive supplementation
I can sit here and keep debunking your goal post shifting, but it's a waste of my time to be honest. For example - if you just simply google b12 prices or fortified b12 foods, you'd realize it cost 1-2 dollars a month to get all your b12 needs at worst. B12 supplements are 12 cents per unit that you only need to consume twice a week. You're dishonest to say the least.

11 cents per unit for 41000% daily value.
These are the 3 I take:

All my levels were great when I had a blood test w/ the exception of Vitamin D, I was very low. I made a personal choice once I could not find the Rx in vegan form to try these. These are the highest units over the counter I could find. I live in Ohio and work indoors; I highly suggest a Vitamin D supplement.
A year's supply of sublingual B-12 pills.
For example, here's the Deva Vegan B-12 supplement with 2500 mcg. There are 90 tablets for $13, and since you only need one tablet per week, that means it lasts 90 weeks (1.7 years). This comes to $7.50 per year. The brand I have was cheaper but I cannot find it now. There are also cheaper brands on Amazon and at local grocery stores.
Sublingual or oral doesn't matter. You can swallow or a chew sublingual if you want, or get a capsule to swallow. I use Deva but there are tons to choose from.
B12, Omega 3, and Creatine Ethyl-Ester. I used to take BCAAs but now they're in my Protein Powder.
