thanks for all comments and advice
jeez did i open a can of worms!
we are 5 weeks post op and 12 kilo loss, doing better than expected and past liquid and baby food stage, now on small amounts of chicken and vegies, soft fish and cereal in morning
corned beef and mashed spuds are on the ok list in case bored with chicken satay [not me, the dish]as red meats ,pasta,rice and bread are no no's
at least i now know we can bring in the items as previously discussed
we are off end july to champlung mas and tjampuhan in ubud and will post from there cheers all dave
