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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
