What's on your Monday Menu, RNYers?

You're so welcome! Nordstrom seems always to have trained fitters available. Some are better than others, but you will get measured and sized, then they will bring in several different styles and brands for you to try. The first time I went as a post-op I bought myself some Wacoal bras, but since then I have favored Fantasie. I prefer smooth-cupped t-shirt styles rather than textured cups, as I like to wear knit tops and they are the most versatile, but the super lacy ones are very pretty. Go wearing a somewhat clingy sweater or top so you can judge the effect in clothes. Write down the size, styles and brands you like best so you can hunt for them on sale. I always end up buying one or two at Nordstrom because by the time I go in I'm desperate, but you will pay top dollar there so don't over-buy. Colors do go on sale elsewhere, and if you keep an eye out you can score a good buy. A bra that really fits well makes a huge difference in how we look and feel. Best of luck!
I hear everything your saying about that normal BMI. I finally hit it in the last couple weeks and been holding steady but that number means a lot. It fought me for three weeks before it finally happened but what a great feeling. I'll be looking forward to your post when it happens.. Do you have a reward in mind when it happens? I went go karting.

I hadn't really thought about the reward besides just getting there LOL!
I really want to get a new tattoo (I have one in mind that I've been wanting for a long time) but I need to save up some money for it and I've found that most of the time there are other things I'd rather spend that money on lately...but maybe that's what I will do!
