There are soy-based mayos as well. Try Nayonnaise, but there is at least one other brand.
Or, try other types of spreads entirely. Mustard would add flavour but only a trace of calories and no fat. A low-fat creamy salad dressing might be nice, and they do exist. You could try a bit of hummous or tahini. While they aren't low-fat, they are a much healthier choice than is mayo, as the fats are mono-unstaturated or healthy fats. The same is true if you spread a bit of ripe avocado on your sandwich, or use a slice of avocado and don't use a spread at all.
For that matter, it really isn't necessary to use a spread if your sandwich filling is flavourful.

When I had to give up mayo (because of my cholesterol level) I started using mustard. I thought I would miss mayo but I don't, I actually like using spicy mustard better.

I believe there's a soy-based product out there that resembles mayo. Don't know if it's available in low fat. Also not sure if those contain lactose.
Mustard has practically no calories and gives you good flavor.
You could probably buy some low fat soft tofu and whir it in the blender with some lemon juice and maybe some herbs and make your own.

Hummus is a great idea (good work sassy), it can be vegetarian's best friend. Check out your local health food store or an organic or vegetarian section in a grocery store for other ideas. Also, if you haven't yet, try Morning Star Farms brand vegetarian food, they have everything (in the frozen foods section).

I have a couple of suggestions:
In Catalonia (where Barcelona, Spain is), they rub the juices of tomato on their sandwich. It makes it moist and tomato flavor.
Olive oil and balsamic vinegar - high in protein and low in saturated fat.

try a little dill rub (small amount of oilive oil with fresh dill) or try toasting the bread and rubbing a clove of garlic on it, or some fresh squeezed lemon juce mixed with some olive oil and an enough of a subtle herb (parsley, a small amount of aregano) to make a paste....enjoy!

Vegenaise is a great substitute.
It's great for both vegetarians and vegans.
You can go here to see where you can go buy a jar of this stuff to try it out and see if you like it or not.

Hummus! Also great in rice and makes a complete protein. There are some very flavorful varieties out there. I'm not a vegitarian, so I like it in my chicken and tuna salad, too.

Ranch Dressing is good.
Blue cheese Dressing.
Try a mix of honey mustard and horseradish.
Or even a light spread of basil pesto, that's always interesting.
