Weird Weight loss places?

Ok. I know this all takes time, the scale says I'm losing weight, but I'm noticing it in very odd places on my body. I never had "fat" arms or feet, most of my weight issues have been my midsection. Now I'm seeing skinny wrinkled feet and forearms that look like shrinky-dinks. Why can't I lose weight where I NEED to lose it? Anyone else have odd places that have shriveled up? Yes, I'm exercising but my diet is all but non-existent. I have zero interest in any kind of food at all. Initially after surgery I had cravings for this or that, but muscled through and now that I'm allowed to have food, I can't get more than a bite or two of anything. I either throw it back up or just stop b/c it makes me sick. Most days are a cup of coffee or tea (if I feel like it) and a glass of ice cold milk and oh yeah, one of those disgusting Flintstone multi-vitamins. They are like biting off a piece of classroom chalk and chewing it up. (I've ordered the gummies but they're not here yet..). I'm in no pain, I don't think I have blockage or strictures as about every 4th or 5th day I can actually eat about a half a sandwich with no issues.

I am losing weirdly too. My ankles, calves and neck were noticeable first. Then my thighs boobs and butt (places I didn't really want to lose) and now slowly my stomach is getting smaller. I am about halfway to goal and every ounce I still need to lose is in my stomach. I may have to lose more than I thought I needed to because the loss is uneven and my stomach is huge. I think eventually things even out though.

Sounds like me, My stomach has always been my problem area and I struggle to lose it there.

I'm the same way with eating. It's hit and miss with what will stay down. I can see why they call the first 6 months the honeymoon period. I'm definitely learning volume control. As the weight comes off, I've noticed it hurts when I bump into stuff. I think the fact that I can't sit for too long or my tailbone will start hurting helps change my old sedentary habits of the past. :D

my feet have gotten smaller, and my face looks like a different person.. my boobs havent moved, but my waist has some.. I am down from a 24/26 to a 16/18
