Yes, it is possible. One of the easiest things to do is to take a calcium supplement and eat calcium-fortified foods (cereals, breads, and lactose free "milks" made from almonds, soy, hemp, ect.). Many vegetarians do eat cheese and dairy products like milk and yogurt and ice cream, which can also provide calcium in a diet.
