    I had mine done a few years ago, doc gave me good meds so I didn't lose because I ate w/e I wanted after. I remember digging a sliver of almond out of the stitched up hole on the bottom after a Caesar salad.

    I had four removed, two impacted and after a few days I was okay. Hang in there.

    My wisdom teeth were removed when I was 18 but I don't remember any significant weight loss no. But then I was pretty skinny at that age.

    Nope I gained. I was terrified of losing my gains so I lived off whey, greek yogurt shakes, and costco blueberry muffins.

    I gained my weight back when I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth cut out lost about 4-6 lbs in 1 month from not being able to eat much.. my jaw was locked for about a month and a half and I was so tired of eating baby food, jello, etc. so when finally when it opened I was starving! :(

    I'm really surprised that i lost too much in a short period of time and I could lose more since i still cant chew :(

    I was experiencing lock jaws before the extracyion but now I dont anymore it's just that I cant chew because the extraction site feels like it's being raked :( OUCH

    I got all 4 of mine pulled at the same time about 4 or 5 years ago. they put me out cold until they were done I missed being able to eat all my favorite foods especially when I had braces for 3 years before that
