Is it normal to gain weight after having your wisdom teeth extracted?

[ItsMe]

On Tuesday[5/18] I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out. I am extremely swollen in my face and cheek area, and have been eating no solid foods, just things like mashed potatoes, yogurt, mushy pasta, etc. Today[5/21] I stepped on the scales and I have gained TEN pounds since Monday the 17th, the day before I got my wisdom teeth out. Is it normal to have gained 10lbs in 4 days? Is it due to the swelling in my face? Or have I just been eating the wrong foods? I'm freaking out.

Maybe you are eating the wrong foods. If anything, I hear people lose weight after having their wisdom tooth pulled. Maybe you're overdoing the mashed potatoes and pasta. Dentist Milpitas CA
