What does "watch your personals" mean?



Recommended Posts

Ok, so my pastor's wife has a friend that has the lap-band. Her advise to me was to "watch my personals" and that I would know what that means.

Ok I've been banded almost 5 months and I have No Stinkin' Clue what she's talking about.

Anyone know?

I ran the phrase on Google, "watch your personals." I found one item. A person was giving another person advice on taking a trip to New Orleans, and said: "Stay sober and watch your personals, meaning your purse, wallet, jewelery, etc. ."

That phrase makes sense in that context, but I'm not sure how it relates to getting the band. Maybe the idea is you lose weight so things like your pants and wallet and jewelry start falling off?

Who knows.

If this was said before you were banded, she may have meant to "watch your personals" while in the hospital. In other words, don't leave a ring or money, etc. where someone could take it. (?)

Ok, I'll bite...

Maybe she meant for you to keep an eye on your husband/sign. other?

Maybe this woman has lost so much weight that she considers herself quite the catch, and quite the chaser??

Weird comment, either way....

ok, i know nothing, and i have not lost enough weight yet to safely guess this, but if someone said that to me, i would think about my personal places..lol..i guess i have my mind in the gutter. but you read about so many people needing a boob lift or a mons lift because their personals were heading south after weight loss..

i know it is probably not what she meant, but i had to put what i thought.

Okay, gutter or not, I read all the post and I thought about them all especially what "bandster_1007" said. LOL:)

Did you tell her that you had the lapband? And what gave her the right to think that you'd know what she meant considering it was her friend, unless she's undercover and it was actually her.

Maybe that was the night I missed and they mentioned that at one of my support group mtgs. LOL if so we all missed a mtg or two. That's too funny. Please, now you have all of curious. Hurry and go to church to find out.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it might mean, "your boobs and twat will get saggy so watch out!"

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
