I still have some trouble finding acceptable chewable calcium or even harder to find is iron where i am so im looking online for that as well as new and hopefully better protein powders.

Wondering had anyone tried the baratric pal website to orser things from such as vitamins or shake mixes ?

you can bring this picture to any pharmacy or take the NPN # off the bottle  NPN 80003262 and ask any pharmacy to order it.  It is a chewable calcium citrate i've had shoppers, rexal and no frills all order it for me.  Costs approx $10-12 for 60 chewables.

As for iron feramax 150, you open the capsule and add to a liquid there is no flavour and its the best iron absorbed post bariatric surgery. any pharmacy has it behind the counter

I buy Feramax iron (recommended by my doctor) at the Zehrs grocery store pharmacy.  Pretty sure Shoppers sells it too.

feramax 150 is not a pill it is a capsule and for best absorption you should be opening the capsule up and dissolving the powder into a hot liquid such as tea or coffee there is absolutely no flavour.  Just open it up into a coffee or tea and depending on your blood work results you can sometimes have to take 1-3 times a day.

I found liquid calcium+vit d in walmart. It was only $8.97, somewhere around that price. I found it once in Shoppers Drug mart, but it's always in Walmart and cheaper so I'll keep getting in there.

The liquid calcium i believe you're talking about.. think it has purple on the lable doesnt agree with me. So unfortuntely it is not an option for me.

the above photo i posted any pharmacy can order it, just give them the NPN # or show them the picture of the bottle and they can order it. Myself and many other bariatric patients across ontario have ordered it from all different pharmacies (they will order it specifically just for you)  they just need the NPN # off the bottle to order it.
