I had my wisdom teeth, all four, removed Dec 23. I did this to eliminate the desire to over eat during the holiday weekend. It was wonderful, just a few bites and some pain in my teeth. I really got to enjoy the socializing.

I also was able to squeeze in some exercise.

I got on the scale today to see weight gain when I had been losing.

I also have a a sore throat. I am on antibiotics, narcotic pain medications, and eating alot of cough drops. I wonder if this is just a blip from the pain and sickness and will see it disappear in the next few weeks.

Looking in the mirror my face does look more round than it has lately.

Happy New Year to all!

I had 3 impacted wisdom teeth; what a nightmare! Anyway, you could be bloated from the perscription pills. Are the cough drops suger free? I know I was on liquids the week following my wisdom teeth removal. Are your food choices low cal and low fat? Looking back I wish I had known about protein shakes when I had my teeth removed.
